he said: Such a threatened war on

contracts by players. takes no heed or

LATEST
To ENTER THE
OUTLAW RANKS
Former Cub Pitcher Signs Con-
tract With Joe Tinker's Fed
eraI League Club,
By Tad
By Bill Bailey.

~HICAGO, Jan. 8. - Leonard
I King" Cole, former Cub pitch
er and who was drafted by the
New York Yankees, has signed
Federal League contract.
Cole signed to pitch for the Chicago
team of the third league and will be
a member of Joe Tinker's North Side
club.
Cole put his signature to the con-
tract more than week ago and the
document has been reposing in the
Federal League safe here ever since
These facts We're stated to-day oy
a friend of the twirler He claims
that he advised Cole while the neg9-
tiatiOns were in progress and actually
saw the contract.
Just what salary Cole will re
ceive isn't known. But it is well
upwards of $4,000. This amount was
rendered by the New York club and
Cole answered that he could not ac-
cept the terms as he had already
signed with the Chicago third league
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 mat
sum and said that he would assume
Ebbets' contract and give him bo-
nus of $4,000 if he didn't care to 60
through with it.
Chance is working desperately TO
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 Cole
the former West Slider had an ld2t
that he could come to terms Wit
New York at about $4,000. So n
wired that he would accept $500 4
year He had an idea that coua-
ter proposition of considerably less
would be made and then the compro-
mise could be effected at the S5,VO'
mark.
INSTEAD Of an attempt TO shave
= the price, the New York club an
swered that it would give the plt,n-
err his price. In the meantime CoIe
had closed with Tinker. 1t was ne
cessary for him to write the New
York officials that he had signed WI"
the third league club and could no,
accept their terms.
Then the wires were worked over
time. 1t is said that the New lorh
officials advised him not to jump, but
TO hang on to something substantls.
But the die had been cast ana tAe
pitcher was hooked
Cole has been the secretive 20,
ever since He has been asked haIi
a dozen times whether he had slght'
