‘deal has been completed.

Ruppert Denies Murphy In Line for Deal

By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, March 15.— The New York Yankees are for sale, but it will take around $7,000,000 to buy them, and nobody ‘with that

kind of cash has come along.

The greatest baseball club in hisis on the market, a fact rumored ever since the ah of Col. Jacob Ruppert Jan. 13 last year, but brought into the open by another of many false reports that the Yankees had been actually sold.

George Ruppert, brother of the|

late Colonel, and Edward Barrow, president of the Yankees, were quick w deny that the club had been sold, or would be sold to a syndicate headed by Gov. Francis P. Murphy of New Hampshire, "Not Sdld Yet The Shib was He only ns among his possessions e late lonel prized enough to attempt

to. protect in his will, but the sweep- |

ing powers he gave his executors enable them to sell it in preference to other property for the cash needed to. pay State and Federal inheritance taxes. “The Yankees are for. sale » Barrow said in Sebring, Fla. “but as president of the club I would be in

‘a position to know whether the

Yankees had been sold or not. No There is nothing definite or semi-definite to announce now. We have had

several tentative offers in the last six months.”

It'll Take Some Time Barrow is not one of the execu-

tors of the estate. It is understood

that he owns but one of the 3000

shares of the capital stock in the

Yankees. He is, however, a trustee of the estate. George Ruppert, reached at his Florida winter estate, said that “it might: be several months or longer before the Yankees are sold. Such & desl requires considerable time. There is no immediate prospect of a sale.”

Aging Bill Tilden Bests Richards

SWARTHMORE, Pa., March 15 (U. P.).~Bill Tilden, aging tennis veteran, last night downed Vincent Richards, 7-5, 8-6, before a crowd of 3000 at Swarthmore Coiiege fieldhouse. . Immediately after the match, Tilden left by auto for California, where he will conduct a tennis school until start of the outdoor

floor today after a vigorous .workout yesterday at the scene of tomorrow’s fireworks. All of Coach Pee-dad Campbell's boys are reported in good shape, although Jaysee Frazier has been nursing a light cold and lengthy Chet Gabriel is daubing antiseptic on numerous scratches and bruises, marks of his center duel with big Red Fowler of Marion last week. The 1079 tickets allotted. to Kokomo were gone minutes after the home-town ticket. window was opened. This is the same community, you'll recall, that sold out its entire gymnasium for the season before anybody had even seen a game. If New Castle’s Trojans need any incentive, they merely have to look back at their previous meeting with Kokomo when the Kats drubbed them, 42-26, the worst licking the Henry County boys accepted in the winter campaign.

Unafraid of That Height

New Castle will grant Kokomo the edge in height, but offers its speed afid goal-sniping ability as Trojan assets to match this altitude, New Castle fans will tell you, foo, that their- boys are at their best when the going is tough. And the records apparently bear this out. ‘Nothing much to shout about during the regular season, the Trojans began accelerating in the sectional and finally stepped the pace up so h that they walloped Burris of uncie, rated a co-favorite, by 28 points in the regional final. In the Anderson semi-final, Rushville and North Vernon stand out as the favorites, with Lapel and

In the battle of the Hinshaws, matching Coach Bob Hinshaw's Rushville club against Coach Herman Hinshaw’s Lapel Bulldogs, the Lions will get their chance at stopping those ‘1lth-hour Lapel rallies. No one will argue that the Bulldogs literally have squeezed through so far, although the Bulldogs had the punch when it was required. They knocked off Anderson, Alexandria, Greenfield and Shortridge in succession, and their highest victory margin was three points. ;

has shown, and the whole town believes it will be a match for the North Verpon height. Considerable s|time was spent this week in the Athenian camp studying North Vernon’s secrets. Oscar Hybarger, Crawfordsville guard shaken up considerably in the regional, is ready for semi-final action, he announced. The ticket situation here is much the same. All schools have gobbled up their allotments and are ready to buy any more if they're to be found. The draw for the Logansport party in Berry Bowl has pitted Hammond Tech against Riley in the matinee opener, with Lafayette Jefferson and the host Berry. crew, North Central Conference rivals, meeting in the second contest. Can Logansport beat Lafayette for the third straight time? That's a big question for which the fans are waiting an answer. Coach Cliff Wells’ Berry club is built on speed and drive, with the height ranging between 5-10 and 6-1. Coach Abie Master's Broncos prefer the going fast, too, and the contest is expected to be one with lots of zip. Riley of South Bend is big and plays an exceptionally good rebound game, but hasn't the speed of the two aforementioned outfits. Coached by Bob McCarnes, who will be at home in Logansport, the South Benders blasted city competition in the sectional and emerged from a regional definitely not on the easy

‘Hammond Tech is the sole survivor of the Calumet cut-throat competition and will bring a large team into the Berry Bowl. Riley has its eyes on Stan Shimala, giant Tech pivot man, who rang up 10 baskets against Brook in ‘the regional. Washington's sharp-shooting Hatchets, with 17 straight victories behind them, are given a slight edge over their three down-state rivals at the, tournament in Vincenne's Coliseum. : These Hatchets, whose only weakness apparently is a shortage of reserves, will meet Bloomington’s Panthers in the second game of the afternoon, following a tussle between Mitchell and Lynnville. : Bloomington, which won eight wn lost 12 in season play, is as hot as

Big Woodruff Leads Drive On Records

Half, 800-Meter

| HANOVER, N. H, March 15 (U. P.) ~The Amateur Athletic Union's |J record committee was confronted today with seven—perhaps eight— new . world indoor marks after last night’s Dartmouth Invitation Games. = New marks were - established in every event. Feature figures were the 1 minute 47.7 seconds established by “Long John” Woodruff for the half mile, and the 1:47 Woodruff registered |B for 800 meters of that half-mile, Woodruff, a lanky athlete who formerly ran for Pittsburgh U., did

first world records of his lustrous career. His times for both distances were better than the accepted standards indoors or outdoors. Last summer Rudolf Harbig of Germany was reportedly clocked in 1:46.6 for

clocking never was officially confirmed. ‘Borican Marks Shattered Paced by Dartmouth runners who were given handicaps fo pull Woodruff along, “Long John” shattered the figures set last year on this same track by John Borican, New York: 1:49.2 and 1:49.8 for the 800 and half-mile respectively. Sydney Wooderson’s two-year-old £ outdoor marks of 1:484 and 1: 49.2 were shattered too. Borican, though losing his marks for the 800 and half-mile, bettered his own indoor world clocking of 3:02.68 for the three-quarter mile when he blazed around Dartmouth’s over-sized track in 3:01.2. Borican had set his 3:02.6 last month at the Millrose games in New York. Jim Herbert, New York Univers sity, provided one new mark and a questionable one. He blazed through the quarter-mile in 48.4 and registered 47.9 for 400 meters of that distance. The 400-meter mark is virtually certain to be accepted as this is the first time a man ever had been officially clocked for that distance indoors. . But the 48.4 for the quar-ter-mile is not as fast as the 48.2 or 48.3 registered last week by Roy Cochran of Indiana University at ‘Ithe Big Ten meet in Chicago,

Cochran or Herbert Both Cochran and Herbert bet-

established by Tom Halpin and equaled 10 years ago by Willie Koppish. Should either of Cochran's marks be recognized by the A. A. U. Herbert's claims for the quarter will be tossed out. The other three records were established by New York University relay teams in the half-mile and mile events. The Violet halfmile quartet was clocked in 1:27.7, clipping nearly five seconds from the new 1:32 hung up by Seton Hall freshman in the recent National A. A. U. championships. N. Y. U. beat a Dartmouth four in this event. In the mile, another N. Y. U. This established two new board marks, bettering simultaneously Fordham’s 3:15.2 for the mile and for 1600 meters, established last year. In this event, N. Y. U, beat the Boston A. A. team.
