The financial romance behind the rise of the New York American league baseball club is quite as startling and colorful as the rise to world TromlhenceTf Babe Ruthr It Is the story of two rather tired business men who parleyed into a property for which $4,000,000 was refused only recent- iy. Thirteen years ago this property was owned by Frank Farrell, a practical "sporting man" and poli tician.

With him were associated two others who should have known everything there was to be known about professional sport. But under their management the Yankees were going nowhere In baseball and, what was worse, they- were showing an annual deficit i.i. Now professional baseball before everything else is a business, and no business showing an annual deficit is going to continue for any length of time. Frank Farrell and bis associates, strong in the councils of Tammany Hall, tried all of their resources to make the Yankees pay. But the New York Giants, thru the neraonalltv and thn nrae- Is Honored.

in Ivory. eggs. They were the bag holders of professional baseball and it hurt the pride of two business men who were far from suckers In other lines. It is particularly irritating to have our Mends aayT-toliUyou so," and' to hear their comments about tackling another fellows' game. The two colonels heard plenty of this sort of conversation.

AlT Inspiration. A daring inspiration came to TllUnghast Hommedien Huston as he brooded over their plight on the shores of a lake In Nova Scotia. They would buy Babe Ruth, then a left handed pitcher who promised to become a greater home run hitter than Home Run Baker himself. They already had bought Home Run Baker and his drawing power was rather mild, 7" Colonel Huston figured that they could buy Babe Ruth for $100,000. Harry Frazee, who owned this val uable piece of Ivory with others that comprised the Boston Red Sox, demanded $150,000.

But the two colonels were in desperate straits. They had come to the point where they had to gamble or quit Ruth a Good Investment Colonel Jacob Ruppert was ready to toss in more blue chips. They hnnfrht Pntli -tr Vraipe'a hnstantlrthere wasT.n added urst of derision. No -baseball player In the world was worth that money. Really something should be done immediately to appoint a guardian for these two innocents before the practical baseball men made pau- pers out of them But Babe Ruth soon proceeded to break all home run records for all time.

The Yankees began to fill the Polo -grbundSTrrwhlctTrthey shared with the Giants. They filled the ocher parks in the American league and, oh! how the money rolled In. This success threatenedthe prestige of the Giants and it irritated the owners of the Giants. They began to become a little "snooty" about renting the Polo grounds for the benefit of business rivals. They made this so plain that the two colonels knew that they were not wanted at the Polo grounds, and threatened to build their own park.

-JHantaJaughed. at these threats. There was no site available. If they did build they would become bankrupt Business men said that tho notion of another baseball park In New York that could be used only seventy-leven days out of the year would be folly. Gold Bricks win Goldin.

But the colonels built a bigger and better stadium than the one at the Polo grounds. They filled it often, and the money continued to roll in- Colonel Huston decided that he had had his fun out of baseball and sold his half interest which cost him $220,000 to Colonel, Rup pert for a million. Besides the prof its he had taken from time to time he drew dividends In the form of continued health and interest In things in general Colonel Ruppert is left holding the bag alone, but the value of the bag is over $4,000,000.

Aug. I. (U.P.) Early thil spring baseball writers went down to the training camps and gave obserratlons as to what teams would be "up there" when the 1S27 season rolled to a close. The Chiacgo Cubs were given not much better than a lower first division position and most of the baseball writers figured that was a very optimistic view. Yet the Cubs today are out in front with a three and a half game lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates and are playing sensationally.

They have never been out of the running since the season started. Some of the things which have brought the Cubs to this poslifor Include: Charley Root, pitching see, has won twenty ball games the ftiet pitcher 'in either league ii win twenty games. 1 A number of long winning streaks the last of which still going on. The Cubs up to today have won eight consecutive games A real murderer's row, not so outstanding as the New York Yankees, but nevertheless deadly. Webb is hitting 332; Hack.

Wilson. Gabby Hartnett, Rlggs Stephenson. Charley Grimm, Woody English-307. English Hits His Stride. Wilson, Hartnett and Webb are Inclined to long distance clouting and all have, a number at horn runs to their credit for the season.

Elwood English, 350,000 prise from the American association, has suddenly hit his stride and is playing phenomenally at the short field. Paired with Sparky Adams -and Charley Grimm, -English rounds out a well balanced infield. The one thing, however, that 'marks the Cubs as a very decided possibility for the National league championship has been brought by Joe McCarthy, the taciturn Irish leader of wahra a team that will play every minute. In case they don't he shifts the team. The Cubs "have won a number of games In the late innings this season mainly because they couldn't quit fighting.
