WIL Leaders Sweep Victorians
SPOKANE, Aug. 3 — Pitching difficulties again beset the Victoria Athletics here today as they absorbed a double-setback from the league-leading Indians, 6-3 and 3-1.
In the opener, Jim Arnold was belted off the hill in the third inning and charged with all of Spokane's runs. Ray Fortier replaced him and allowed a single hit and no runs, but the damage was done.
Bob Jensen, who has failed miserably in his last few starts, failed to survive the second inning although only responsible for one run.
Joe Blankenship was tagged with his third defeat in a week when the Indians scored twice in the seventh after Jack Harshman broke a long home-run famine by tying the count in the top half of the inning with his 30th circuit blow.
The A's have dropped five of the their last eight decisions.

NON WIL NEWS FROM THE MINORS

No-Hitters Abound
UNDATED, August 3 - Three no-hit, no-run ball games were turned in by minor league pitchers Sunday with two of them just failing to be perfect games.
At Fort Worth, Texas, southpaw Dwain Sloat of Fort Worth turned back the Tulsa Oilers, 1-0, in a Texas League game facing only 28 batters. Sloat had a perfect game until he walked Jim Shilling with two out in the ninth.
Isadore Leon of the St. Petersburg Saints of the Class C Florida International league also had pitched a perfect game until the ninth when he walked a member of the visiting West Palm Beach Indians with one out. Leon got the next batter to bang into a doubleplay to record a 2-0 win.
Righthander Shelby Kinney pitched the first no-hitter of the 1947 Southern Association season, pitching the Atlanta Crackers to a 5-0 triumph over the New Orleans Pelicans at New Orleans. Kinney permitted only four nine to get on base, all via walks.
