Former Cub Pitcher Signs Con-

~HICAGO,. Jan. s. = Leonard
I King" Cole, former Cub pitch

New York Yankees, has signed q
Federal League contract.
Cole signed to pitch for the Chicago

a member of Joe Thinkers North Side
club.
Cole put his signature to the CON
tract more than a week ago and the
document has been reposing in the
Federal League safe here ever since.
These facts were stated to-day oy
a friend of the twirler He claims
that he advised Cole while the nego-
tiations were in progress and actually
saw the contract.
Just what salary Cole will re-
cefve isn't known But it is well

club.
THE signing of Cole shows that
1 personal friendships will be sac
rificed in this bitter baseball warfare.
Tinker, manager of the Chicago Fed
eral League team and Chance, man
ager of the Yanks, have been intimate
friends for years. When Tinker was
sold to Brooklyn for $4,000, Chance
said that Joe was worth twice that
sum and said that hA would assume
Ebbets contract and give him DO
nus of $4,000 if he didn't care 10 go
through with II.
Chance is working desperately 10
build up his New York club, and make
it a contender in the American
League. He counted much on Cole.
But Tinker grabbed Cole just the
same.
According to this friend Of Coles
the former West Slider had an ided
that he could come to terms WIFE
New York at about $4,000. SO ne
wired that he would accept $4,000
year He had an idea that a coun-
ter proposition of considerably less
would be made and then the compro-
mise could be effected at the sSVOo
mark.
INSTEAD of an attempt TO shave
the price, the New York cluo an
swered that it would give the pllsn-
er his price. In the meantime CoIe
had closed with Tinker. 1t was n3'
cessary for him to write the New
York officials that he had signed WIZ
the third league club and could MOI
accept their terms.
Then the wires were worked over
time. It is said that the New YORK
officials advised him not to jump oul
to hang on to something substsnua.
But the die had been cast and the
pitcher was hooked.
Cole has been the secretivs 90,
ever since. He has been asked mai.

Gibbons never has weighed more than
l52 pounds, although he says he will be
au least a pound heavier. In recent

Legend Of the HumbIins Cave Of Las
Siervas Hot Springs.

The hot springs of Las Siervas. near
Vale de CanizOs. In "a remote part of
the state of Guerrero. Mexico, have
been visited by few people from the
outside world. but they are famous In
the legends and history of the Indian
tribes Of that part Of the republic.
According to the natives. the waters
OF the springs possess great medicinal
properties. In ancient times the
springs were the favorite bathing re-
sort Of the noble families of the Tepa.
neca. Alcolhua and other tribes that
lived In that region.
On both sides of the chief spring
there are huge rocks with hieroglyph-
les and the figures of women beauti.
fully carved. Judging from the robes
worn by the women. their stately ap-
pearance and the jewels around their
nccks, the figures must represent prin-
cesses or ladies' Of very high rank.
The spring Is at the entrance to a
grotto that has never been explored.
From the grOttO Il rumbling sound re-
sembling distant thunder is to be heard
all the time. According to natives. the
rumble is caused by the ghost of King
Excamina. who ruled over that part of
the country three or four centuries be-
fore the Spaniards discovered America.
King Excamina, the tradition says,
was as bad as man could be. He MUIR
dered people merely for the pleasure of
seeing them die and committed every
crime. He had his palace constructed
in another cave. which communicated
with that Of the spring by a tunnel.
There Excamina, In company with
some of his favorites, had orgies that
lasted weeks and months.
When he died an earthquake destroy
ed his palace. Since that day his ghost
has been haunting the cave near the
spring. and none Of the natives has
ever dared 50 into the cave.-New York
