Byrd (left), leader of the second expedition into the Antarctic, discusses plans in New York with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, noted sportsman, and one of the backers of the project By PAUL HARRISON . NEA Service Staff Correspondent. ~ NEW YORK.—When the second Byrd Expedition into the Antarctic found itself hard up in the mat ter of hard cash, some of its lead eérs turned for aid to a grizzled old sportsman who has the knack of being able to enjoy, vicariously, but to the limit, the thrills and adventures of other men. It has always been that way with Colonel Jacob Ruppert.’ As a youngster he was Yoo busy work ing to concern himself with sand lot games. Instead of going to col lege and lending hig poweriul phy sique to the glory of the gridiron, he tackled kegs and bags of grain in his father’'s brewery. He _nhever ‘bothered about learning to ride, ‘but his money financed a famous racing stable. He knew little about the inner workings of big league baseball, but he bought the New York Yankees and gleefully watched them win seven pennants. He declined to take time out for travel, but delighted in gathering men-of-the-world and explorers about him. Most of the great ad venturers and flyers—among them Admiral Byrd-—are his friends. So Colonel Ruppert is a sports man by proxy. He doesn’t, he de clared, give a whoop whether there is an ice-covered island sea at the! south pole. Or whether the geo logical formations resemble those of South America. If there's no life, other than little spiders, on the Antarctic Continent, that's all right with Colonel Jake. He doesn’t want to start a Little America bhaseball league, nor yet store bheer on the Ross Ice Shelf. He is con cerned with this expedition be }cause it is a blood-stirring adven ture, a sporting encounter with the grimmest of odds. - ! He is proud, of ' course , that Byrd’s base ship has been re- Christened the Jacob Ruppert. He hopes it will prove staunch. He also hopes the 70 men will enjoy the 2,000 cases of beer he has put aboard. Colonel Jake has a lot of fun figuring out how to pack that beer, in special boxes lined with 10 inches of felt, so it can withstand temperatures of 80 degrees below zero. He also can reflect pleasur ably that his money went a long way toward making the expedition possible. It was a large sum, but on the Colonels: insistence the amount is not to beé mentioned. He likes to spend a lot of money on his hob hies.' In 1915, when he bought the New York Yankees in partnership Yyith “Colonel Tillinghat P’Homme dieu Huston, he ‘gambled at least two millions. Later he bought out his partner, and found himself the sole owner of a $5,000,000 paying enterprise. For Babe Ruth alone, ‘Colonel Jake paid SIOO,OOO and made a loan or $350,000 to the Boston Americans. He now spends something like $200,000 a year to scour the nation’s sandlots, high schools, colleges and minor lea gues for baseball talent. And he maintains three minor league ‘tenms as laboratories for the de velopment of young players. He was born 66 years ago in the German section of Manhattan call ed Yorkville. His parents were German, and Colonel Jake still breaks into a Teutonic accent when excited. He often gets ex cited, too; can’'t even . cndure watching a baseball game unless his team is well in the lead. The failure of the Yankees in’the pen nant race this sesaon plunged him into despair. He'd like to win every game, every world series, and by a huge score. . His formal education ended with grammar school, but he showed a remarkable capacity' for business management when he became act ing general manager of the Rup pert brewery at the age of 23, and head Of the business at 29, when Jacob, sr., retired. He enlisted in the National Guard while still in his 'teens, and at 22 became <col onel on the staff of Governor Hill. In 1899 Tammany Hall sent him i} NOW ITS UP W J8%5 TO YOU A& s‘; ';' S il . k %w% RIGLEY S \\ ,' V» “sfm““ m E R'F j‘ 'STOCKS RALLY " BRISKLY TODAY Rumors of Russian Recog nition Stir Action in Market Trading NEW YOR.K.~—(AP)—Commodl ties and stocks rallied briskly Fri- | day afternoon coincident with ru mors of prospective recognition of Russia- by the United States.

He is an idealist in matters of law and morality, and doesn’t leven like to be reminded that he was arrested, ‘back in .1902, for | { driving an automobile 17 miles a,n} hour down Pennsylvania avenue in the Capital. Colonel Jake accepted prohibition without a word of pro test, although during the previous yvear he had sild more than 1,300,- 000 barrels of beer. For twelve years he drank near beer, while viewing with alarm.the rising tide of hootleg liquor. He is supposed to have contributed heavily to the dry cause, but - finally swung around to the view. that real beer would cleanse the country of its ]reckless drinking and racketeering. Ruppert never married, and he has a definitely bitter opinion about. marriage as an institution. He's just an old softie, theugh, in I the hands of his friends and em ployees. Year after year, for ex ample, Babe Ruth held out on his | contract until he -could wheedle | Colonel Jake into consenting to a higer salary figure. In fact, all his ball players love him, and with an exuberance of affection that sometimes manifests itself in surprising ways. One time, return ing to New York after a victorious emcountér with St. Douis, the team charged into Colonel Jake's | private car and tore off his shirt.
