Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 29 —The announcement that Charley Devens, Harvard pitcher, is working out with the Braves and is almost certain to sign a Boston contract is of more than passing significance. When a college hurler turns professional it isn't always interesting news. But when that pitcher happens to be a Harvard man it's almost like that old Journalistic gag of the man biting the dog. In the case of Devens there is an even more lmoortant angle Charley is a Groton man. No graduate of that school vet has turned professional in baseball, football or anv other Dort—exceDt. perhaps, as a coach. Harvard men have been so scarce in our major leagues that It wouldn't take the nnaera on vour right hand to count them. About a decade ago. Jack Conlon. captain and ahortstop of the Crimson nine, enlisted with the Braves and eventually was released to Rochester. In 19ns when the Highlanders, now the Yankees, broke into New York Walter Clarkson, who had stood out for'Harvard even more brilliantly than did Devens this vear, signed with Clark Griffith. Walter did not last and soon went into the shoe manufacturing business In Lvnn. Mass. Walter was related to the famous John Clarkson who figured In the second most important sale In the history of baseball After the Chicago Nationals had electrified the sport world bv selling King Kcllv. the catcher, to Boston in 1889 for sinooo. they sent Clarkson, his hattervmste to the bean eaters for a similar sum Clarkson did some coaching at Cambridge and taueht Walter how to nitch. It was almost Inevitable that the youngster would follow In the footsteps of John and go Into nrofesglonal baseball. Devens. on the other hand, has no baseball background as regards famllv. He t* crazv about the game, and baseball is onlv too glad to welcome clean, upstanding athletes of the Devens tvoe who love the game.

WHILE many of the highlyballyhooed rookies have failed to measure up to big league standards, it has been a good season for more than a dozen freshmen, who promise to stand out as stars in the future. And the pitchers have stolen the show r , wuth five sensational newcomers showing the way. Two big reasons w'hy the Boston Braves have lingered within striking distance are rejuvenated Huck Betts, the 33-year-old right-hand-er, who has won eight and last one, and Bob Brown, the 20-year-old husky, with a record of ux triumphs and three setbacks. Then there’s Johnny Allen, author of several well-pitched games for the Yankees, whose record is six wins against one beating. Lon Warneke is the ace of the Chicago Cubs’ strong staff, and has won nine while dropping three decisions. Despite a slump after a sensational beginning, Monte Weaver, the ex-math prof tossing ’em up for Washington, still boasts a good record of nine victories and five losses, and shews signs of recovering his early effectiveness.

Nemo Leibold's Buckeye Birds jumped out in front in the A. A. gonfalon chase Tuesday night by overpowering the men of McCann, 7 to 2, and today the Minneapolis Millers were second, Indians third and Kansas City Blues a close fourth. It was a bitter pill to take under the orbs and with a large crow'd on hand, but there was no stopping the invaders once they got under way. Indians and Birds have met ten times this season and the Tuesday tilt was the seventh trouncing handed the Hoosiers. The Birds cracked the scoring ice in the fourth stanza with one run, followed up with two more tallies in the fifth, one in the eighth and three in the ninth, collecting thirteen hits, including doubles by Riggs and Cullop and two by Swanson. The Indians were held to six safeties and a two-oushion blow by Wingard was the only extra base hit by the home nine.
