Mullens Helps Hall Dump Spokane
SPOKANE, August 6 — Frank Mullens teed off on three Spokane pitchers for three hits in five trips as the Vancouver Capilanos defeated the league-leading Indians 6-3 to win their 11th game of their last 12.
Mullens pushed the Caps back to stay in the fifth inning tonight. His single scored Lee Mohr and Buddy Hjelmaa, and gave Bob Hall the chance to breeze to his 11th win.
Hall was brilliant in the late stages, as his fastball hopped by 11 Indians batters. Eight walks kept him in trouble, but he was helped by two double-plays.
Spokane laid claim to a new Class "B" baseball attendance record as 2,779 fans paid to see the game.
With a month of the season still left, the Indians have already attracted 223,398 paying customers, breaking their own record of 220,419 set in 1940.
Vancouver ......... 010 120 002—6 9 1
Spokane ............ 002 010 000—3 7 4
Hall and Stumpf; Latino, Spitzer (6), Miller (9), and O'Neill.

Mossor bests Woop as A's Keep Losing
SALEM, Aug. 6 — Wandell Mossor, star Salem southpaw, allowed only three hits tonight as he hurled the Salem Senators to a 6-2 Western International League triumph here in what turned out to be a pitchers' battle after the first two innings, when the winners scored five of their runs. Vic Mastro gave the Victorians a 2-0 lead in the first inning when he hit for the circuit with Pat Patterson, who had walked, on the bags. Mossor shut the door from there and never permitted a hit after the second inning.
Three hits and a pair of walks gave the Solons three runs in their half of the first and they added two more in the third when Mel Nunes cracked out a two-run homer off Bill Woop. Final Salem run came in the seventh when Ed Barr doubled following a walk to Nunes.
Mossor and Woop both struck out seven with the Victoria hurler issuing free transportation to a like number. Woop allowed six hits.
