A win for the Dominicans would deadlock it with the Indians for top place. Ii the Indians trample down their foe. however, they practically will have cinched the divisional title. Mohawk and Dominican fans are expected to turn out in full force. Manager Vi¢ Gauzza of the Indlans probably will give today’s mound as- signment to Watt, Winegarden or Kelly.
