Down 5-2, Dick Briskey opened the ninth with a double, Nino Tornay walked, then Edo Vanni and Al Jacinto singled to bring in a run and leave the bases loaded. Logue came in to get Snag Moore and Bob Williams to strike out swinging then induce Ray Orteig to pop up foul on the first base side that right fielder Charlie Balassi caught off his knees.
The Bears got two runs in the first on three walks and a single before the A's took the league with three in the fourth. A walk to John Jack, Len Noren's double and Frank Matoh's 14th home run did the trick. What proved to be the winning run crossed the plate in the seventh when Gil McDougald singled through the middle after Lloyd Dickey loaded the bags on three walks.

Bremerton Mulls WIL Team Value
BREMERTON, July 29—Interested businessmen were to meet with officials of the Bremerton Western International League club today to see if the team is a good investment.
A meeting was set for 1pm.
The businessmen and fans became interested in the purchase when Willis Shepherd, majority stockholder, announced several days ago he had his interest up for sale. Several other northwest communities reportedly are dickering for the franchise.
