New York, August 12. Chicago In the American League is meeting diffi culties in holding on to first place, while New York in the National has brought to a close its victorious trip through the West. The White Sox, winning only one game out of six, last week, saw their lead cut down to virtually nothing. Today they gained slightly on Boston by defeating Cleve land 4 to 3 in 13 innings. The Giants by taking five out of six games In creased their lead still further. For a league-leading team, Chicago played poorly In its gamer-against Philadelphia and Washington, second division clubs. Monday's and Tues day's games were lost to Philadelphia, the first after eleven innings. Against Washington in four games the White Sox could make only five runs and fif teen hits, and they won only one game. In contrast to Chicago's poor work, Boston and Cleveland Improved their play and gained on the leaders. The Red Sox broke even in two games with Cleveland and then won four out of five from Detroit. Cleveland traded third place back and forth with Detroit early in the week, but by winning four out of five from New York gained a fair lead over the troublesome Tigers. New York and Detroit fell back slightly through their poor work in their re spective series against Cleveland and Boston. In the National. St. Louis failed to stop New York, after the league lead ers had taken three out of four in the series with Cincinnati. Three times in succession St. Louis fell before the Giants, but on Saturday th Giants met their only defeat of the week at the hands of Goodwin. Philadelphia regained second plac during he week, notwithstanding two defeat at the hands of Pittsburg. Cincinnati continued in a 'slump, the scoring power of Mathewson's club having weakened greatly against the Eastern clubs. In a doubleheader with St. Louis today, Cincinnati won both games and went into third place ahead of the Cardinals. Chicago and Brook lyn battled hard for possession of fifth place the last of the week and the Cabs, through winning eleven victories on both Friday and Saturday, gained the Ieadesship of the second division.

Walling1, of Binghampton, New York, took Peerless Tonic When All Other Medicines Had Failed to Help Him Now He is Well and Happy. "Of the numerous endorsements to Peplac, given by people of high stand ing, 1b one of particular Interest from Dr. John B. Walling," asserted the Pep lac Expert, who Is meeting many WI1 raiagtonians daily at the leading drug stores of this city. "Dr. Walling," continued the Peplac Expert, "la one of the leading physi cians of Binghampton, New York. He 1b a man of honesty and integrity and his word is his bond. Surely, even those inclined to beskeptical could ask for no stronger proof of Peplac's merit than the word of the learned and es teemed Dr. Walling." A copy of Dr. Walling'3 letter pro duced by the Peplao Expert follows: "Having suffered for years with acid fermentation nervous dyspepsia at times lasting 14 days with great pain (gastralgia) taking medicine without relief, I was asked one day to taka Pep lac which, in my distress, I was glad to resort to any thing. "Much to my surprise I am relieved no pain in my stomach any more. "I am a very grateful man and, being Who Is Jno. Smith In Selective Draft? THERE ARE FOURTEEN SUCH NAMES IN THE CITY AND A WORLD OF SMITHS BESIDES ANCIENT PATRONYMIC. Ever since Pocahontas ;made the name of John Smith famous by inter posing her lithe form befween the spiked club of Powhatan and the dauntless explorer, there have been John Smiths world without end, and Saturday night the old, old problem of "who is John Smith," serenely bobbed up :when young Mr. John C. Smith came to town and heard that "John Smith" had been notified to ap pear Monday morning and be exam ined as to his physical fitness for military service. "John Smith, Wnmlngton, N. C," is the way the notice reads, and is the way that particular John Smith reg istered. His order number is 59 and his serial number is 2684, w'hich means he was the 2684th man to register in Wilmington and was the 59th man ir the drawing at Washington. Mr. John C. Smith came in Satur day from Chadbourn, where he works, and was disturbed when he heard that he had been drafted. He is a son of Mr. W. R. Smith, 818 North Fifth street. He went to police headquar ters and inquired about it, stating that he wasn't even registered be cause he was under 21 years of age. The selective draft board knew noth ing about it, and the young man's fears were set at rest. He isn't "John Smith, No. 59." There were 14 John Smiths when the new city directory was made this summer and nine of them are colored men. There are three "John W's" one "John O." one "John J." one "John H." one "John C." and seven plain "Johns," all colored. These last are located in the direc tory at Nos 116 South 11th, 712 1-2 South 9th, 204 Marstellar, 1117 Ran kin; 817 South 8th. 1007 North 9th, and 110 South 11th. The John Smith expected to appear today is manifestly one of these sev en plain Johns, but if he doesn't show up it should require some shrewd "detecative" work to trail him q.nd identify him. "John Smith" Wilming ton. N. C," is as indefinite, apparent r ly, as the name, "Mr. Buck .Shad, Cape Fear River, N. C." would be in the spring o' the year. "Who hit Billy Patterson?' 'Is comparable to "Who is John Smith?" The Smiths are most excellent peo ple, as a rule, and many extraordinary Smiths have " embelished the- pages - of history, even before John Smith was knocked down to Pocahonitas, for many years before his landing on Vir gianian shores his kinsman, Johanit Schmidt lived and throve in the Fath erland, aa doubtless did countless other John Smiths in Albion. It is possible that there are more persons bearing the patronymic Smith than there are wearing any other trib al designation. In this city alone there are nearly 300 persons listed under the name, and as the Smith average is six children for every di rectory name, "we have," as the school teacher would SRy, announcing the result of six times 300. eighteen hun dred persons named Smith in this fair city, not counting the Smith-Form-a-Truck. Of the total number of Smiths in the city, 117 listed are white persons. The business and professions repre sented by the persons of both races listed include clerk, policeman, pov ter, boatman, mill hand, laborer, boiler-maker, stenographer, chauffeur, shoe polisher, machinist, engineer, cook, domestic servant, driver, usher, grocer, barber, machine operator, waiter, preacher, collector, teacher, laundress, executive, manufacturer, stu dent, bookkeeper, flagman, conductor, manager, druggist. doctor. cooper, foreman, fireman, learier. ship build er, insurance, wood worker, painter, housekeeper, bellman, section hand, superintendent, sawyer, drayman, car penter. REPORTER, butler, mairine engineer, lawyer, city employe, plas terer butcher, stone dresses, huckster, and horse trader. It will be noticed that nowhere is one In the undertak ing business for the motto of the Smiths is "Never say die" but hold! Come to think about it. there is a recent addition to the family, lately come to town, and, in sooth, he is an undertaker So. every useful or needed business, trade or profession is represented, and if everybody else should disappear from Wilmington, the Smiths could take the city and run It. A company on full war footing could easily be raised and sent to France, every man from captain to cook a.' Smith; and the Bosches would know it when . they charged. There are. ay. 30,000 persons In the city. One fifteenth of them are Sntlths. Thare are In the United States, say, hundred millions of peo ple, in round numbers. Of -this inum- "Children Dance Tonlprnt. at Lumina. Regular dance follows. adv. . . a physician, I am glad to recommend Peplac to any one suffering as I did. (Signed) JOHN B. WALLING, M. D. Continuing his talk the Peplao Ex pert said: "While Peplac is practicallj' new in this city, not a few men and women already are enjoying results much the same as those reported in the letter of Dr. Walling. "But, the good work of Peplac al ready accomplished is comparatively small to what this Peerless Tonic will achieve as time continues. Peplac -Is the result of years of study and is de signed to combat those ills from which millions of Americans suffer today stomach, liver and kidney ills .nervous ness, catarrh, loss of strength and en ergy, lack of weight, sleeplessness and the like." Today a Peplac Expert will be hi attendance at the Bellamy and Hardin Drug stores to explain to the people at first hand how this really wonderful medicine should be taken and the re sults that may be expected from its use. Peplac also Is on sale at the follow ing drug stores: Elvington's, Payne's. Hanover, Greene's, Bunting's, Jarman & Futrelle, Fentress and Southside. ber, fully ten millions are Smiths, be cause in some places they sro easily more numerous than in Wilmington, most of them prefering to live in higher altitudes because they love to be close to heaven. On very page of human history the Smiths have left the trail of their marching feet. There is no known spot on the globe that has not been trod at one time or another by the foot of a Smith, mostly John Smith. It is not incredible, indeed, that if the Garden of Eden had published a directory, or "Who's Who," and giv en his name in full, the first man would have appeared, "Adam Smith.'" The man who- wrote "America" was named Smith, and somebody slandered Fate by saying she "tried to conceal him" by naming him thus. Fate has more gumption than to attempt to conceal a Smith. Adam Smith of Scot land put political economy on the map, and the Smiths have been in politics ever since, and are thrifty withal. Joseph Smith but why try to count the stars of heaven? Let it be enough to say that the world owes more to the Smiths than it can ever pay or they collect; that they are a great and goodly tribe with but one fault, and that is their fondness for the name of "John," which brings us back to the starting place "Who is John Smith?"
