THE NEW YORK TIMES, January 12, 1915 This 18 page newspaper has a five column headline on page 10: "YANKEES TRANSFERRED TO RUPPERT AND HUSTON" with subheads: "Yanks Transferred Peckinpaugh Signs" "Sale of New York Club Completed -- Shortstop to Get $7,000 Salary a Year".
Other news of the day. Usual browning with margin wear, tear and chipping causing some unrelated text loss. Should be handled with care.
wikipedia notes: Ruppert's 24 years as a Yankee owner saw him build the team from near-moribund to a baseball powerhouse. His own strength as a baseball executive — including his willingness to wheel and deal — was aided by the business skills of general manager Ed Barrow and the forceful field managing of Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy. By the time of his death, the team was well on its way to becoming the most successful in the history of Major League Baseball, and eventually in North American professional sports.
