favor when they kicked the paying
colonels, Jacob Ruppert and Tllllng
hast l'Hommldeau Huston out of
the Polo Grounds in the fall of
1931, gave them a year to find an
other lot for the Yankees.
The colonels were paying 10 per
cent rental up to slOO.000, and were
perfectly satisfied, but the New
York National league moguls were
mad.
Cols. Ruppert and Huston, who
never did get along, had brought in
General Manager Ed Barrow from
the Red Sox in the autumn of 1930
to back up the mite manager. Miller
Huggins. A young fellow named
Babe Ruth and others had also
come along from the Bosox, and the
Yankees were stealing the Giants'
(tuff.
So Cols. Ruppert and Huston were
forced to buy the 10-acre plot across
the Harlem river from William
Waldorf Astor for $650,000. and for
t3.SO0.000 more build the monument
that made the American league top
kick in the big town.

three consecutive pennants as they
moved into the matchless edifice in

course, and then some. Messrs.
Stoneham. McGraw and McQuade
saw what was coming, but the
Giants might just as well have had
all that rent.
The Highlanders, as they were
known at the outset, were born in
a spirit of conviviality, when two
men sat with Byron Bancroft John
son at the old Criterion hotel in
New York in January, 1903. They
were contractor Frank Farrell and
Police Commissioner Bill Devery.
Baltimore had dropped out of the
new American Irague. and President
Ban Johnson sold the New Yorkers
the franchise for exactly $18000.
Cols. Huston and Ruppert paid
S350.000 (or the Yankees In Decem
ber. 1914. and the American Iraitue
gave Farrell and Devery $100,000
more.
Del K Webb. Daniel R. Topping
and Larry MacPhull bouitlit the
Yankee empire from the Kupperl
heirs in the winter of I94& for the
comparative bargain biisement price
of $2,850,000. The Yankees borrowed

league but San Francisco will do

Frank (Lefty) OTJouls Sassy
Seals pocketed their fourth straight
last night at the expense of the
hard-hitting Hollywood Stars, 4 to
1. Jack Brewer pitched his second
win of the season and had a shut
out with two down In the ninth,
only to have It spoiled by Tod Davis'
two-run homer.
The outstanding pitching per
formance was contributed by Red
Lynn, Los Angeles veteran right
hander. He held Oakland to one
hit. Brooks Holder's double, and
blanked them, 1 to 0. Only three
Oaks got on base as Lynn continued
aa complete mastery. Mickey Bur
nett, Angel second sacker, doubled
in the sixth to score two runs and
oUnch the victory.
Portland advanced to second
place In the standings by trimming
Ban Diego. 4 to 3. but had to stave
off a ninth-inning rally that saw
the Padres score twice. Harvey
Storey and Fenton Mole blasted
home runs for the Beavers.
Dick Barrett scored his 300th
pitching victory in the coast league
as Seattle went 11 innings to nose
out Sacramento, 4 to 3. Lou Novik
off's home run in the first inning
was good for three Seattle runs, but
Jack Salveson pitched brilliantly
the rest of the way. Infield errors
In the eleventh by Leo Wells and
Bill Wiedemann gave Seattle its
winning run.

Caps Strong
Down Middle
And At Plate
Vancouver Nine
Looks To Repeat
For WIL Pennant
VANCOUVER. B. C. April 7 ii
Strength down the middle, speed
on the hill and power at the plate.
Those appear to be prospects of the
Western International league's de
fending champions Vancouver Capi
lanos this season.
Business Manager Bob Brown Is
unusually happy and hopes that
tins season Vancouver will improve
its .001 finish ahead of Spokane last
year.
While he won't come right out
and predict the September finish of
his favorite team, he will say "they'll
have a cracking good ball club."
Manager Bill Breener is out for
second pennant in hts second year
as boss and will anchor the through-the-middle
combination as catcher.
Joe Kaney looks good for second
and pre - war veteran Ralph
i Sammy i Samhammer seems set in
center field. Kaney played with
Lynn. Mass. last season.
INFIELD SET
Bill Reese will return to his first
base job. training camp stones say.
Little Len Tran has looked sharp
at third while newcomer Dirk
Brlikey. who has played second,
third and short equally well, will
likely play the latter. Bud HJelmna
could get the utility slot.
Bob Stumpf. If he is returned
from Seattle, will get the other
catching job.
Orrin Snyder, edged out at first,
has moved to left field becaute of
his hitting. Charley Mead will end
up in the right pasture.
Getting down to what many con
sider to be the most Important part
of any successful club, the pitching
staff, things look pretty fair. Last
year's 22-gamc winner. Lefty Jim
Hedgecock. Is expected back from
Seattle on option.
YOUNG HLItLKRS
One youngster named Bob While,
another. Lefty Dumbrojie. Larry
Manier, Carl Gunnarson and a fifth
man from the number trying out
at the Sunnyside camp will fill out
the full-time mound corps.
White is a big right-hander, while
Dumbrojie and Gunnarson are
southpaws. Brenner is going in
strong for the slllysiders because of
the short right field barrier In the
Caps' home park.

Hawkins stayed III the bout after
the knockdown on sheer stamina.
There were many In the crowd of

The first round was even. Neither

Hawkins, who kept Jabbing at Ka
