VANCOUVER, Aug. 30 — Charlie Mead clubbed two homers — one of them the grand slam variety in the sixth inning — to power Vancouver to a 6-4 win in the nightcap of a twin-bill over Bremerton and move the Caps past the Bluejackets for first place in the Western International League. Vancouver won the first match 4-2, after scoring three runs in the fifth inning.
Buddy Hjelmaa, rookie shortstop, pulled a tendon during the game and is out indefinitely.

VICTORIA, Aug. 30 — Tacoma and Victoria split a Western International League double-header Saturday, as the Tigers scored all their runs in the first inning to defeat Victoria 3-2 while the Athletics won the night game 7-3.
Vic Mastro and John Cavalli broke up the second game in the fourth inning. Mastro tied the count at 1-1 when he hit for three bases after Bill White singled. Babe Jensen and Jack Harshman both whiffed, but Cavalli parked a home run for another pair of runs.
Singles by Leo Righetti and Pat Patterson around a walk to Len Kasparovitch made it a 4-1 game.
Cavalli then drove in his third and fourth runs in the sixth with a triple and Mastro provided the final count with his circuit blow in the eighth.
In the first-inning of the opener, a bad bounce on an easy grounder back to the mound by Glen Stetter, a wild pitch by Bill Woop and a timely hit by Bob Hedington accounted for all of Tacoma's runs.
The Athletics scored all their runs in the first as well. Jack Harshman doubled them in.
