NOT APT TO SCORE
% Wins THIS YEAR
Club, WabbIy on Road, Has
22 of 35 Games Abroad.
Tribe Wins Easily.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

~LIMBING above fourth
place in the American
~ League standings seems
~ too much for the Nation
els. They are playing at a faster
pace than they did in the first
half of the campaign, but the
Athletics and the Inoians-the
only outfits ahead the Nationals
might overhaul-also are moving
at livelier rate.
In their first II games, the Nationals
perforned at a SIG clip. Since passing
the halfway point of their campaign,
they have played at a .619 speed. How
ever, the improvement in pace has
brought none in standing.
The remainder of their schedule is
not favorable to an advance by john
sons charges. They are to play % OF
their remaining 35 games away from
Griffith Stadium and the Nationals
haven't been better than a 500 club on
the road this year.
There is little likelihood of the Ma
tionals ringing up 90 victories for the
season and quite likely the club, that
finishes third will have that many wins.
Continuing at the .6l9 pace they have
followed in their last AZ engagements,
.Jollnson's men would show record OF
only 80 wins this year.
And playing out the string at .6l9
clip would be big order for the Ma
tionals.
