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

@HICAGO, Jan. s. : 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
member of Joe Thinkers North Side
club.
Cole signed his contract more than
. a week ago and the document has
been reposing in the Federal League
safe here ever since.
Jhese facts were stated to-day oy
a friend of the twirler. He claims
that he advised Cole while the nego-
tiations We're 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
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 he would assume
Ebbets' contract and give him bo-
nus of $4,000 if he didn't care to 90
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 Coles
the former West Slider had an idea
that he could come to terms win
New York at about $4,000. So ne
wired that he would accept $500
year. He had an idea that 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 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 New
York officials that he had signed WIZ
the third league club and could not
accept their terms.
Then the wires were worked over
time 1t is said that the New fork
officials advised him not to jump ou'
to hang on to something substantls,
But the die had been east and the
pitcher was hooked.
Cole has been the secretive ooy
ever since. He has been asked MAJ;
a dozen times whether he had slgntu
with the third leaguers and mas he'-
Their affirmed nor denied it.

DN IIllck EN ais,
THERE is something queer
about game Of golf played
over ground frozen as hare

an altogether different problem be-

CURED to hole out in ny reasonable

those ordinarily played. 10 illus
trate from a match of my own played
recently over frozen ground: The
second hole of the Ridge Course
at the Calumet Golf Club near Chi
cago is usually pitch over a bunk
or, but this is impossible when the
ground is so hard that even il one
just shaves the cop bunker the ball
will bound high and far. So the
hole resolved itself into a long put
Ger into and over bunker.
Fourth Green Unique.
Tie fourth green in this frosty
weather was unique one--like a
bit of solid rock with icy projectjo =
all over it--and on this unyieldins
surface the bah ran al the slightest

do not know exactly what to call M.
s. for on the LIST of January 1919,
this hole differed extraordinarily from

The green lies lust over the pon3,
which, o. course, was solidly frozen.
and all any of us did was to play

certainty of the bounce added to The
unusual entertainment of the game.
The greens Were terribly hard u

Shots Not Accurately Placed.

should have been strokes in whole

but shots could not be accurately

were made.
We did not suffer much from the
cold. for We had plenty of exercise
owing to the erratic nature of our
shots, but the warm fire before which
We stretched ourselves at the end Of
the game was very welcome. ThS
surprising thing was the manner III
which our caddies bore the cold, fo:
they had little exercise compared with
ours.

Bitter Attack on

opened bitter attack on the Federal
League in speech last night. During
his talk he declared it is his belief that
the public will side with organized base
ball and turn against the Federals. He
declared no trust exists in organized
baseball and cited the case of Larry
LaJoie as proof of the validity of the
reserve, clause. Appealing to the fans
he said; Such threatened war on
baseball begun by promoters simply for
financial gain, and based upon broken
contracts by PLAYERS, takes M heed or

than Grand Forks. This civic distinc-
ton is to be credited to the people of
the city and is especially due to the
progressive efforts of the Grand Forks
Civic League and the City Board of
Health. The activity of the women's
organizations Of this town has brought
about most favorable results, and full
~ demonstrates the strength of wom-
ems organizations and efficiency in
municipal control.
Among the things to be mention
ed with regard to the sanitary prac-
tice adopted by this city is the new
municipal abattoir. erected within the
city limits on water and sewer system
and wired with electricity. This plant
consists Of we'll built brick struc-
ture, cement floors throughout, and
provides large cattle killing floor
35X30 feet, hog killing room 15x30,
cooler 20x4O. refrigerator 19xS9. tank
room 10X15 where the refuse from
Strengthening is converted into fertil-
izer. The basement consists of a boil
er room. store room, lockers and
toilet. The boiler furnishes hot water
for cleaning hogs. running the fer
building with it's accessories furnish a
very satisfactory and economic meth
cd of handling meats. 1t is to be re-
memhered too that an ordinance ex-
lists requiring all meats to be sold in
the city to be slaughtered here or
come from government inspected
plant.
Another important feature of this
plant is the spacious room for refrig-
Grafton. This permits the necessary
storage OF meat for ripening. The
advantages of such a plant in any
town cannot be questioned.
The city has also recently Installed
an incinerator for consumption OF all
garbage from the city. This method
of waste disposal. together with a well
regulated city ordinance requiring the
removal of the garbage. makes a very
efficient regulatory plan.
The milk ordinance is also we'll
drawn and well adhered to. The
herds supplying milk and cream are
all tuberculin tested and frequent tests
are made for quality Of milk, both
chemically and bactcriologically. The
dairics and milk houses are also in
spected and we'll kept.

Grand Forks food supply plants,
including groceries, cafes, factories,
bakeries. meat markets. ETC., average
3.74 points better than the Fargo
plants of the same kind. this being
set forth in a bulletin of the state
pure food department.. covering a
complete inspection of both cities. G.
p. Guthrie made the scoring in both
cities. and comments upon the results
are by him.
Commenting upon the Grand Forks
situation, the pure food bulletin says:
This is an excellent general aver
age, especially when the size of the
city Is considered. A large town Is
at disadvantage over small town
in the matter Of general average
scores Of sanitation. since in large
the classes of people and sharper
lines of caste are drawn. The tend
ency is to have small shops of the
cheaper order. In general, Grand
Forks seems to have many large and
well kept stores; although 1t will be
noticed the outlying shops are the
ones that bring down the general
average of the city,
Grocery Stores.
Discussing the scores of grocery
stores. which average sos per cent,
and which is considerably above the
average, the bulletin says:
This is very high average for
grocery stores. Grand Forks has
some good ones too. Those scoring
below IS should be eliminated. 1t. is
unfair competition and poor encour-
agement to allow food purveyors TO
keep shop with few dollars invest
ment in competition with the man
who spends large sums of money in
his initial investment of building and
fixtures"
Meat markets are not considered as
being exceptionally good, falling be-
low the standard Of other stores in the
city. Several places are without
toilets. and three are very poorly
kept: the back rooms being in poor
condition.
The AbattOir.
High praise is given the Grand
Forks abattoir as an evidence of
Grand Forks progressivesm. The
bulletin says:
This city is probably the most adj
vanced city in the state in the way Of
sanitary advancement. In fact, it is
doubtful if there is a city in the north
west Of it's size that can boast of the
civic improvements and a cleaner city
