All-America Team Embraces Ath.
letes Who Are Entitled to Distinction

NEW YORK. January Livery athlete
chosen for the all-America team Of 1913
well deserves the honor that has been
given him. They have been selected prin-
cipally on the performances they made
during the year. and not on their pre-
vious record. Some of them are entitled
to as many as two places, some three,
but they were given only one apiece SO
as to make the team truly representative
Hannes kolehmainsn, the phenomenal
Finn, could be placed in all OF the dis
tance events, as he has proved that he is
in q class by himself in all of the events
over the one mile. William J. Kramer
of the Long Island Athletic Club, who
was the cross-country king for many
years. is removed from that place and is
given the two-mile honor. He is entitled
to this place because he broke the indoor
record and also wears the outdoor crown.

GERMANY SLIPS BACK.

Mutuel System.

movement on foot in Germany to return

the most intelligent of players in his
day. and should prove a valuable man
in developing the young pitchers on
the New York team
The Federal League has threatened
to make fight upon the reserve clause
in the contract used by organized base
ball. and claims that the players from
the majors can be won in legal fashion.
The Federal League contracts, how
ever. unless they change the whole
form of those documents.b the time
the first test case comes into court,
will themselves furnish the ammuni-
ton to embarrass the new league, ac-
cording to legal opinions handed out
by organized base ball men. Attorneys
state that the wording of these con-
tracts explicitly. binds the player to
ten years service with the Federal
League, and. while nominally protect
ing him against reduction of salary,
can also be SO interpreted as to pre-
clude raising his pay. 1t is virtually a
ten-year contract which the players
are asked to sigh by the outlaws"

WIFE GONE, SEEKS
CARE FOR CHILDREN

John Rain, twenty-four years old,
who lives at 104 Lille street and is
employed as platform man handl-
ing freight at the Eighteenth avenue
branch yard of thea Pennsylvani
railroad, has asked the police of the
Fourth precinct to help him out of
his domestic troubles. He does not
know Just what to do himself.
According to the story told by the
police. RAINS wife has gone away,
and he would prefer that she would
remain away If he could find some
one to care for his two children, q
sickly boy three years old and n girl
eighteen months old Mrs. Rain 10
twenty-one years old.
The boy, a pathetic sufferer from
stomach trouble, has been treated at
the City Hospital over extended pc
RODS, and was discharged from there
the last time on Sunday, September
90 He was still ailing and very
fretful.
Last Thursday afternoon the little
fellow made his way into the freight
yard, where his father was at work.
and said: Papa, mamma isn't
home and ] want her"
Rain says that his wife has not
been home since, and that he has
been told she is living in Twenty
second street in Irvington.
