My recollection from what I've read is that Colonel Ruppert paid his half of the $100,000 with a check, the earliest of these two. Ruppert's partner and co-owner of the Yankees, Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston, paid with 50 one thousand dollar bills.

I am not certain of that, but I think that's what happened. Surely there's a Yankee fan who knows enough team history to verify that.
