The Pennant Pace On the current home stay, the Indians have won six in seven starts. They beat the Milwaukee Brewers two out of three, annexed two straight from St. Paul and pow have made it two in a row over Kansas City. Last night the Indians scored their 13 runs on 13 hits. However, the home boys were helped along by Kansas City’s wild pitchers who dished out 12 walks and one batsman. The Redskins were ahead, 13 to
