Rorrow up to $4,000, ake up to Jo months to pay back in repli instal By The Associated Press A year ago, Cleveland right- hander Dick Donovan had pitch- ing percentage of zero (0-5 for Washington). Cleveland second- baseman Jerry Kindall was bat- ting zero (0-5 in seven games for Chicago Cubs) and the Cleveland team had a zero winning per- centage against New York (0-2). Today, Donovan leads all pitch- ers in the American League with a 6-0 record. Kindall is batting’; 277 and has hit .364 in seven games against the Yankees and the Indians have beaten the world champions five of seven. These statistics, more than anything else, explain why the Indians are in first place, a half- game in front of the Yankces, who they whipped in both ends of a Sunday double-header, 6-4 and 8-5. With only a little more than a month of the season gone, the Indians, under freshman manh- aver Mcl McGaha, already have kcaten the Yankees more times than they did all last year un- der manager Jimmy Dykes.
