Mitchell Blanks Hapless Chiefs
VICTORIA, August 11 — Dick Mitchell, who has earned his ranking as Victoria's top hurler with his recent performances, came up with one the best games of his Western International League career as he blanked the Wenatchee Chiefs, 8-0, tonight.
In the two-inning windup of a previous seven inning game at Wenatchee, each club scored once to make the final count 8-5.
Never in serious trouble in the regulation game, Mitchell made his 13th victory his first shutout. He struck out six, walked three and doled out six hits. It was his sixth straight win and enabled the A's to gain a game on the leaders, who were both defeated.
A walk to Pat Patterson, singles by John Hooper and Bill White, an outfield error and Vic Mastro's fly ball gave the local nine a 3-0 bulge in the first inning.
They added a pair in the fifth after the Chiefs just failed to pull off what would have been the first triple play of W.I.L. history in Victoria. Mitchell and Patterson singled, and Mitchell was doubled off second after Jimmy Zinn stabbed Hooper's liner. Patterson beat the throw back to first by a whisker. Singles by White and Jack Harshman and a passed ball then plated the runs.
Hooper's 11th home run, which came with Patterson aboard, climaxed the three-run splurge in the sixth which wound up the scoring.
More than 2,200 fans ran the season's attendance close to 100,000.

Collegiate Crushed by Caps
VANCOUVER, Aug. 11 — The streaking Vancouver Capilanos chased Gene Peterson, a slim right-hander off the campus of Willamette College, after scoring six runs in the first 1 2-3 innings on their way to a 14-6 Western International League win over the Salem Senators here tonight.
Buddy Hjelmaa started the run parade with a solo homer in the first. Paul Carpenter and Charlie Mead then swatted back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0.
Peterson was taken out after Frank Mullens clubbed a towering home run over the right field screen while Lee Mohr and Carl Gunnarson was aboard. Bus Sporer came in and was victimsed for a six-run fifth inning, thanks to five hits and two errors.
Gunnarson picked up his 14th win.
