ri IOME, sweet home" the
Fl ballad so richly senti-
i i mental to many, has be-
come blues song for
Clark Griffith's hired hands. For
winning purposes, home to them
is almost any spot but their own
ball yard.
After routing all opposition the
way they did during their recent
tour, the Nationals looked ready
to give a great account of them
selves in Griffith Stadium for the
first time this season. Instead
they have wabbled more than ever
on their home lot to have their
league-leading advantage over
the second-place Yankees reduced
in the short space of six days
from four and half games to
a meager 3 percentage points.
1t is difficult to understand. Away
from home this season, the Nationals
have played at the remarkable pace Of
.682 Before their home patrons, how
ever. they have moved along at only
a $50 gait. That is poorer by 48 points
than their winning percentage for the
season.
It is high time the Nationals realize
victories at home count just as much
as those abroad in the chase for the
American League championship. In
cluding this afternoons scheduled
double header with the Browns, the
Capital club has 38 games yet to play
in Griffith Stadium. To keep up in
the race it must move at a much swifter
pace through this string than it has in
its play here.
The Nationals have 36 more games
away from home. but they can not
reasonably be expected to maintain the
swift pace they have travelled on the
road That would be asking entirely
too much of them. They are good
enough to do better than they have
at home however. And to get flag,
they must.

Miller Stops EN- Again.

A FTER winning eight successive Sc
~ ries, the Nationals were unfortu-
nate enough to run into the White
Sox when the latter happened to have
a lot of good pitching and be In a hne
batting mood. Their punch weak and
their pitching weaker, the league leaders
naturally took a sound thraShlng. Their
streak of series wins was summary
ended by the Chicago crew that TOOK
three of four games played.
The White SoX threw their reJuve-
mated eft-hander, Walter Miller, at the
Nationals again yesterday and Walter
was even better than when he scored
a victory in the first game OF the series.
Then he was nicked for eight hits ana
three runs. In the final of the set. ne
allowed but three safeties and breezed
through the game the White Sox TOOK,
to 0.
Miller was even better yesterday than
when he beat the Nationals for the nrst
time back in May, although he yieldeo
but two hits In that game. Not until
after two were out in the seventh m
ming yesterday did a National f1no

single to right and Schultz followed
with line single to center to move tne
Goose to second base. But Kuhel lofted
to the left fielder. Nothing more for
The Nationals thereafter until one bat
ter had been retired in the ninth. Then
Mver singled to center. Here the right
hand swinging Harris was sent up to
bat for the left-hand swinging Manush,
who had twice grounded to the infield
and once lined to the left fielder. Har-
ris' best was a hoist to the middle
gardener. Goslin then drew Miller's
lone pass of the game, but Schultz
ended everything by losting a foul to
the third Sacker.

Bonthron is one Of the most durable

Enter Devens-of Harvard.

Enter Devens-of Harvard.
T ESS than three years ago a
/ young fellow named Devens
IL decided to take a stroll. At
the moment he happened to
be carrying a foot ball. In the
presence of some $4,000 spectators
he strolled about 20 yards or more
in the general direction Of Yale's
goal and put Harvard in position
to win one of the hardest foot
ball games of the year.
Noon in that crowd at that moment
had any idea that less than three years
later the Yankees would be sending out
q hurry call to the same Devens to help
bolster q somewhat wobbly pitching
staff, with q major league pennant at
stake.
There are three things, anyway,
you can say about this same young
Devens. He has . cool head,
stout heart and strong arm. He
can crowd q pile Of stuff ON that
base ball, and whether or not he
is quite seasoned, he can't do
much worse than several Yankee
pitchers have been doing In the
last few weeks.

licitous as to their teams future
welfare.
For instance, there is the Boston
American club, which, with its new
players supplanting many old faces,
is attracting some attention because
of its determination to play good
ball. 1t may pick up enough games
to advance to sixth or even fifth
place in the American League
struggle.
The Red Sox have Cooke, Jolley
and johnson for its outfield, since
it was made over. That certainly Is
a nifty outfield compared to the one
with which it started the season. Its
infield is still problem, with Warst-
ler at short, Walters at third, Null
ler at second and Seeds at first
What makes it appear to be a prcb-
lem is the work of the two young
players, Walters and Muller, who
were secured from clubs on the West
Coast by Eddie Collins. 1t is too
early to tell, of course. how good
these players are or whether they.

w yHIIEY CAMPBELL, the Ma
a tionals' new right hand
" " hurler, was to be out in uni
form at Griffith Stadium this
afternoon, and there was possibility
he would show his wares in one Of the
games against the Browns. Not as
starter, Of course, but in relief role.
Bought from Albany of the Interna-
tional League last Wednesday, Campbell
was ordered to report here the next day.
Arranging personal affairs incidental to
his transfer has delayed his arrival.
According to Buzz Arlett, who used to
be with the Phillies and now is one OF
the International Leagues big sluggers,
Campbell has one of the best curve
balls in the game. Anyway, he has as
good a curve ball as any pitcher l nave
faced" declared Arlett when he learned
of Whitey's rise to the big SHOW. he
ought to surprise lots OF those American
League batters."
Buzz had more buzzing to do about
Campbell. Say. if that fellow could
pump in a fast ball what pitcher ne
would be- Arlett went on. HIS curve
bail breaks down on you and it is real
tough to hit. If he had fast one to go
with that good curve there would be
no stopping him. I've seen any number
of good curve-ball pitchers, have hit
against any number of them, but hon
estly think Campbell's curve ball Is as
good, if not better, than any I've had
to go after"
Wen see this curve ball soon, If not
today.
