Last-Place Chiefs Make things Tough
WENATCHEE, July 25 — Wenatchee's last place Chiefs tonight came close to sending Victoria's contending Athletics down to a double defeat in a W.I.L. double-header tonight but the Canadian nine rallied to take the second encounter, 7-4, after losing the opener, 4-2. Both games were seven innings by agreement.
Joe Blankenship, right-handed relief ace, chalked up his eighth win in the second fixture as he held the home club to a lone run after taking over from Bill Rose in the third with Victoria behind, 3-2.
Athletics took a 2-0 lead in the second when Leo Righetti hit a home run with a mate aboard but Wenatchee went ahead in the third and added another run to their lead in the fifth when Bob Williams hit for the circuit.
A three-run rally in the sixth put Victoria ahead. Singles Pat Patterson, John Hooper and Vic Mastro and a double by Bill White accounted forn the scoring. Patterson's home run followed a double by Righetti in the seventh as the visitors made the result more certain.
In the opener, manager Chuck Cronin won the decision from Victoria ace Len Kasparovitch, who was tagged for his eighth loss as a final-inning rally fell short.
Cronin struck out nine and walked none as he limited Victoria to four hits in the first six innings. White's home run was the only Victoria tally at that time.
In the seventh with two out, John Cavalli homered and Righetti and Ted Norbert, in a pinch-hitting role, singled but Cronin forced Patterson to ground out to retire the side.

SALEM — The Vancouver Capilanos snapped out of a slump to cool the hot Salem Senators with a twin setback, 6-0 and 2-1, at Waters Field, as Carl Gunnarson and Peter Jonas came up with stirling pitching efforts.
Gunnarson gave up two harmless singles. He also lead off the sixth inning with a triple. This was followed by doubles by Lee Mohr and Buddy Hjelmaa, Lou Estes' walk, a triple by Charlie Mead, a single by Bill Reese and Len Tran's double to bring in five runs.
Jonas wasn't quite as effective. Three consecutive singles and an outfield fly gave him a 2-0 lead in the third, but when Jonas took the mound in the bottom half, he held the Senators to five hits, one of them a solo homer to Joe Skeber.

SPOKANE, July 25 — The Tacoma Tigers celebrated 'Levi McCormack Night' by edging the league-leading Spokane Indians, 4-3, in a keen mound duel between Gordon Walden and Samson.
A near-record crowd of over 8,000 turned out to honour the Indian outfielder who survived the fatal bus crash last year, and presented him with a new Buick in a home-plate presentation. McCormack then singled in the first Spokane runs.
