SALEM, Aug. 5—Doggedly continuing their pursuit of the Bears, the Vancouver Capilanos uncorked some heavy artillery to down Salem Senators twice, 12-6 and 9-5. Cacther Bud Sheely was the biggest gun. He unloaded a bases-loaded home run and three singles to drive in six runs in the first game.
He came back in the seventh inning of the finale to slam out another grand-slam round-tripper which provided the victory margin.
Dick Sinovic tied it for the Caps in the fourth with yet another four-ply circuit smash.

YAKIMA, Aug 5—Playing their third twin-bill in five nights and their fifth in nine, the Victoria Athletics bowed to the league-leading Yakima Bears twice on Friday night, 6-4 and 4-3.
With the first game taking almost two and a half hours, the second contest was not completed until 1:15 in the morning.
Failure at the plate in the clutch cost the first game. The A's received 13 bases on balls from two Yakima picthers but hit into two double-plays and left 12 runners stranded in the seven innings as they managed but five singles. The Bears handed Joe Blankenship his fourth setback when they put together five singles, a walk and an error for five runs in the ninth.
The finale provided some action. The A's went ahead 3-1 but were unable to break through again. The Bears finally managed to tie the count and win it in the ninth when Ted Jennings set the stage by leading off with a triple.
