IN THE REALM OF SPORTS
East Still Leads
In Both Leagues
RACES FOR TOP POSITIONS ? IN
MAJOR LEAGUE CIRCUITS GAIN
MOMENTUM WITH MORE
FAVORABLE WEATHER.
New York. May 12. With more fav
orable weather the races in the Nation
al and American Leagues have become
more spirited. Last week also saw "the
start of the first inter-seotional clashes
of the season, in which the Eastern
teams, of both leagues had the advan
tage. The inter-sectional results were:
National, Eastern 7, Western 4; Ameri
can, Eastern 7, Western 5.
. New York and Chicago, in the Na
tional League, by winning all their
games, gained good leads on the other
teams. St. iLiOuis enjoyed a one-day
stay in first place last Sunday, but was
forced out by New York Monday and
continued to slip through the rest of
the week until Saturday found Hug
gins' men in fourth place. The Giants
beat Philadelphia Monday and Tuesday
and in the last three das of the weekj
wqn three games from Cincinnati. Mc
Graw's pitchers are working better and
his team is again intact, Herzog hav
ing returned to the line-up the last of
the week. L
Chicago defeated Pittsburg Sunday,
3 to 2, on two hits and beat the Pi
rates again Monday. In the four-game
series in Brooklyn Mitchell's men won
every game from the league cham
pions. - Seaton pitched two three-hit
games for Chicago. Neither Cincin
nati, weakened by sickness and injur
ies, nor Brooklyn, apparently unable to
get started, won a game during the
week. Philadelphia, because of good
work by the pitching staff, won all
three of its games from St. Louis and
went ahead of the Westerners in the
race. Boston moved up from sev
enth place by taking three out of four
games from Brooklyn and Pittsburg.
The champion Boston team continues to
hold tightly to first place in the Amer
ican. The Red Sox began their Western in
vasion by taking three straight games
from Detroit. New York came into
runner-up position by taking two
games from Philadelphia and two out
of three from Chicago.
The American League had some ex
cellent pitching by the staffs of the
Boston and New York teams, but
Groom, of St. Louis, topped all others
by pitching 11 innings against Chicago
in which he allowed neither a hit nor a
run. His -performance including two
innings of the first game of a double
header and the last game in full.

SHARP LOOK-OUT KEPT FOR
VESSEL LOADED WITH LIQUOR
(Special Star Correspondence.)
New; Bern, May 13. City and county
officials here are now engaged in keep
ing a sharp lookout for a barge or
steamer which sailed from New York
several days ago with several thousand
dollars worth of wines, beer and whis
key on board and whose port of desti
nation was put down as New Bern.
Some chap in New York got on to the
racket and telegraphed the Secretary of
State in North Carolina that the boat
was bound for New Bern and he in
turn notified the police of every city
along the route between New Bern and
Norfolk and all of them are on the
lookout for the boat.
It is said that the cargo is so large
that it took several days to load it and
that it is intended o be sold to the
"blind tigers" in this section.
The vessel is not equipped with
wireless and her commander, whose
name is known, is not able to com
municate with the shore without dock
ing and therefore there is little oppor
tunity of him learning that the author
ities know that he has the intoxi
cants on board of his vessel and is ex
pected to prove an easy victim.
TOUR IN INTEREST
OF LIBERTY LOAN
(Continued From Page One), i
papers, department stores, and other
private corporations, firms and organ
izations, have patriotically offered to
receive and transmit applications for
the Liberty loan without expense to
the United States or to the applicants.
The Secretary of the Treasury appre
ciating the value of -these offers will
have application blanks widely distrib
uted throughout the country to these
private institutions and also to the
postoffices and sub-treasuries. Individ
ual subscribers may use these conven
iences or may send their applications
directly to the Treasury Department
at Waashington and to the Federal
Reserve banks. As the law prohibits
the allowance or payment of commis
sions on subscriptions all those through
whom applications are made render
service -as a patriotic duty without
compensation.
"All applications must be in the form
prescribed and be accompanied by a
payment of two per cent of the amount
of bonds applied for. Applications must
be for $50 or any multiple thereof,
tout an application for one $50 or $100
bond until further notice may be allot
ed at once and payment in full accept
ed against delivery of an interim cer
tificate. Applications must reach the
Treasury Department or a Federal Re
serve bank not later than noon, June 15,
1917, the right-being reserved by the
Secretary of the Treasury to close the
subscription on any earlier date."
It is strongly recommended that sub
scribers avail themselves of the assis
tance of their own banks, but where
subscriptions are sent direct to the
Reserve banks or the Treasury Depart
ment, they should be made by bank
draft, check, postofflce or express mon
ey .order or in cash. All checks must
be certified.
If payments are made other than by
cash the payee should be designated as
"Treasurer of the United States, Liber
ty Loan Account," except where sub
scriptions are sent Reserve banks.
Such checks or money orders should
be made payable to "The Federal Re
serve Bank of ..... . . . ., Liberty Loan
Account," -
THE MORNING STAR,
Ketorien To Meet
Mainford Tomorrow
VIRGINIA
GRAPPLER TO TRY CON
CLUSIONS WITH UNBEATEN
FINN AT WOOL-
VIM HALL)
The principal sporting event of the
week in Wilmington, will be the wrest
ling match tomorrow night at Wool-
vin Hall between Waino Ketonen and
Billy Mainford, of Virginia. Mainford
is physical director of the University
of Virginia, and is one of the clever
est men of his weight in the South.
He appeared in a number of bouts
in Wilmington several years ago and
made a good impression on his friends
with his clean cut work on the mat.
He writes Fritz Hanson that he is in
much better shape now than he was
at the time of his last visit to this sec
tion, and feels that he will give Keton
en a run for his money.
It is probable that Hanson will stage
a match with Mainford at an early date
and the fans will welcome an opportu
nity of seeing these two cracks in ac
tion again. Ketonen has engaged m
two matches since coming to Wilming
ton, and has yet to lose a fall. Main
ford however is planning to break this
record tomorrow night.
HE WANTED TO FIGHT.
Sixteen-Year-Old New Bern Boy Tried
to Enlist.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
New Bern, May 13. Shelly York, six
teen years of age and of this pity is
comparatively young, but he is patri
otic and wants to do his "bit" for Uncle
Sam and: that he has not been allowed
to do so is no fault of his.-
Several days ago Shelly left New
Bern, presumably for Ramseur, N. C,
but he-didn't go in that direction, in
stead he! went to Norfolk, Va., where
he told recruiting officers that he was
ready to fight and wanted to be put
in the navy or in the army right
away. . i
The recruiting officer, however, told
the young man that he was not old
enough to join either and he was ques
tioned as to why he decided to go to
that city and in reply stated that he
and several other school boys had
made up their minds to join the navy
and that when the time for their de
parture he was the only one who was
ready to go.
York's relatives finally discovered
that he was not at Ramseur but had
gone to; the Virginia city and upon
their request he was detained until
someone: could be sent fo rhim.
HERMETICALLY SEALING THEM.
Prof. Brooks Uses More Up-to-Datc"
Manner of Closing School.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
New Bern, N. C, May 13. Time was
when some well known college profes
sor who was secured to deliver the
principal address at some of the small
er school's commencement was referr
ed to as having closed the school's sea
son with a masterful outburst of ora
tory or I some other such expression,
but things have changed now, accord
ing to Pro E. C. Brooks, of Trinity
College, i Durham.
Prof. Brooks had just alighted from
a train at the union passenger station
yesterday afternoon for a few mo
ments' visit in New Bern en route home
from Morehead City when an admiring
friend rushed up and extended the
glad hand of welcome.
"I hear you have come down to close
the Morehead City school," exclaimed
the New Bern man.
"Well,! you might call it that," re
plied Prof. Brooks, "but the more up-to-date
way to express it is to say that
I have been down to hermetically seal
the institution of learning .at More
head City."
The New Bern man quickly changed
the subject but it-was evident that the
Trinity instructor had set him to think
