Jonas Snaps Losing Skein
TACOMA, May 30 - It took Pete Jonas to stop the Vancouver Capilanos' losing streak ay eight games. The Canadian nine scored six times in the first inning to give Vancouver a 9-3 win over the Tacoma Tigers in the finale of a twin-bill.
Tacoma took the opener 5-3 as an error cost Vancouver's Jim Hedgecock the win.
Lee Mohr got a bunt single to start the second contest, and a combination of Tigers errors capped by Jim Estrada's single and a Jonas' bases-clearing triple gave the Caps their six-run opening gambit.

But in their half of the inning, the Tigers broke loose. Neil Clifford singled and pitcher Jim Morgan bunted. Mohr, covering first, dropped Hedgecock's throw, and two runners were safe.

A's Bow to Kittle
BREMERTON, May 30 - Nursing a grudge after Manager Ted Norbert protested his 1-0 win here last Saturday, Hub Kittle gained another measure of satisfaction when he handed the Victoria Athletics their second straight shutout at his hands, 9-0, to give Bremerton's leading Bluejackets a split in a holiday double-header tonight.
Victoria won the first game, 3-1, after an extra inning as two home runs and steading pitching by Dick Mitchell was too much for the Tars.
Bill White homered in the second inning to create a 1-1 tie, and the two clubs were forced to the eighth inning before first baseman Jack Harshman came through with an over-the-fence wallop with a mate aboard to settle the issue.
Kittle's victory was his sixth of the season against a single loss, and stretched his record string of wins to 66. In his last appearance against the Athletics a week ago he twirled a 1-0 decision. Three of his last four triumphs have been shutouts.
Bremerton, leading the circuit by a comfortable margin, has taken 25 of its last 30 games during a protracted winning streak.
The nightcap victory was sparked by Eddie Murphy, who hit his tenth homer of the season to touch off a four-run tally in the fifth, and by Allan Maul, who pounded out a double and two singles in five trips to the plate. Murphy's round-tripper was his third in the last four days.
Victoria's three hurlers, Bill Prior, Ray Fortier and Jim Gibson, walked 15 men as their mates committed five errors. The Bluejackets has 15 men left stranded on the bases.
