Burrow. 71-year-old former newspaper man, baseball pluye.-, dub owner and manager, today w-«s president of the game's richest and most powerful team—the New York Yankees. Bartow, who hits spent 19 of his 45 years in organized baseball with the Yankees, was elected yestei lay, filling the post held by the t -rmer owner and president, the late Col. Jaeob Ruppert. Barrow steered the Bopton Red Sox to :ne American league pennant and won a world series in 1918; he was a minor league player and once was part-owner of the Toronto club of Ihe eastern league. He also managed the Detroit Tigers for two years. He joined the Yankees in 1920 as business manager and secretaiy. ;■ job he held until yesterday when h'» was elected president after Ruppert's brother. George, had refused the post. Under the terms of that part of Roppi it's will concerning the Yankees — the remainder won't be read for ten days--the team is to be perpetuated by a board of trustees for the next two Ruppert generations. The board consists of George Ruppert. 11. Garrison Silleik. Jr., a brother-in-law; Frederick E. Grant, for many years Ruppert's attorney, and Barrow. The surviving directors elected liarrow president George M. Weiss, general manager of the Yankee minor league farms, was elected secretary, replacing Barrow. and Byron Clark. Jr., Ruppert's counsel, was elected a director tc succeed Col. Ruppert on Ihe beard. George Ruppert retained his post ns vice-president after turning down the nomination for president because he will be too busy w>ih other of the Ruppert holdings. Al Brennan is treasurer and-Grant and Clark will hold 'heir posts as attorneys for all the Ruppert interests. Os all his vast holding. Ruppert is understood to have made specific provision for the perpetuation of only one. the Yankees. Everything legally possible was done to keep the club from falling into the residuary estate. And. as i measure of protection against financial embarrassment to the club due to the enormous demands that will be made for payment of inheritance taxes. Ruppert provided all such taxes shall be paid out o f the residuary estate.

JESS WILLARD JOINS DEMPSEY Former Heavyweight Foes Joined In Business Deals Miami Beach. Fla.. Jan. 18 —(I I ) A brash "unknown," who later be(came the Manassa Mauler, king M the heavyweight prize fighters, ducked out of a Toledo ring 20 years | ago. leaving behind a battered giant and a woman who wept bitterly. Mrs. Jess Willard never forgot i that unmerciful beating administered her husband on that hot Fourth of July day. But today Jack Dempsey and big Jess buried 'he past and looked toward a future of mu--1 tual friendship and business relaI tions. Dempsey, who dumped his ring profits into a remuerative hotel and restaurant business, became "The Boss" to Jess Willard, wnose financial glories had faded. Yesterday Jess accepted a job with Dempsey. Dempsey insited on the deal though Willard contended h? was “not broke." The contrast was striking when they again faced each oth“r before the news cameras in Dempsey’s hotel. Dempsey stood calm and debonair. Willard fumbled and fidgeted. Willard will start as a “good-will” ambassador for a brand of whiskey which Jack is interested in. If he doesn't find that to his liking. DemPjsey said. "I have a hundred other ; spots for him." Willard had little to say but he was overjoyed. I "I think it's a great proposition and I’m sure it wil work out fine,” He said as he gripped in friendship the right hand that took his heavy weight title and started Dempsey on the road to success. o SCHOOL UNITS Lcontinuhd FROM PAGE ONE) proximately one third of the total i operating expenses of 'lndiana schools.
