YAKIMA, August 9 — A crowd of 3,000 fans watched Johnny Price, Cleveland Indians' versatile clown, and the Yakima Stars put on an excellent show tonight. The Stars evened the current Western International League series at one each by nudging the Victoria Athletics, 5-4.
Pitcher John Cordell, who twirled his tenth victory of the season, tallied the winning run in the seventh inning by scoring from second on Bud Beringhele's single to right field. Spencer Harris knocked a home run over the right-field fence in the third inning to account for three of Yakima's runs.
Vic Mastro provided the hitting pinch for the A's, connecting for two doubles and a home run over the left-field fence in the fourth inning. Babe Jensen had a chance to score what would have proved to be the tying run in the seventh when he cracked a triple. On a poor relay from the field, Jensen could have scored, but ran into base umpire Frank Dehaney between third and home and had to return to third.
