When Scout Dick KinselIa of the New

a sweep of the contests. In fact, it's up
to the Tribesmen to brace while opposing
the tailenders, because they meet the
Milwaukee Brewers next, and the said
Brewers are travelling fast these days.

with the bat.

have something to do with his confer

yesterday, Z to 2, because the Indians
failed to hit while the Blues bombarded
