Admiral Richard E. 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

lm congress, and he served four
terms.
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.
