Sunday, September 7, 1947

YAKIMA - The Western International league champion Vancouver Capilanos dropped a doubleheader to the lowly Yakima Stars Sunday night, 9 to 5 and 6 to 2, to finish the campaign a mere one percentage point ahead of the second place Spokane Indians.
The Caps, by virtue of the twin loss, end the season witn a .566 percentage as compared with Spokane's .565.
Carl Gunnarson was chased by a seven-run splurge in the opener, while Keith Simon, the winning pitcher in the first game, smacked a bases-clearing triple in the fifth inning that eluded pitcher Pete Jonas, playing in right field.
