SALEM, June 17—Buzz Sporer two-hit the Victoria Athletics tonight as the Salem Senators pulled off a 4-1 win.
A double by Frank Matoh and a pinch-single by Dick Morgan were the only hits, but the A's were handed nine walks—and did little with them. Sporer walked four men in a row for Victoria's only run in the fifth. Ten A's runners were left stranded.
Larry Ward tossed a six-hitter in defeat and was victimzed by two errors by catcher Bob Day and six stolen bass.
Victoria ............ 000 010 000—1 2 3
Salem .............. 111 100 00x—4 6 2
Ward and Day; Sporer and Beard.

YAKIMA, June 17—Two big innings did the damage as the league-leading Yakima Bears blasted the Vancouver Capilanos, 10-4, to increased their margin over the second-place Caps to eight full games. Yakima overcame a two-run deficit with a three-run uprising in the third and salted away the game as they drove Vern Kindsfather to the showers and greeted Carl Gunnarson with four more runs. Pitcher Larry Powell ended the inning by striking out.
Bud Sheely and Orrin Snyder went three for five for the Capilanos.
Vancouver ......... 011 000 002—4 10 1
Yakima .............. 003 007 00x—10 11 1
Kindsfather, Gunnarson (7) and Sheely; Powell and Orteig.

SPOKANE, June 17–The Spokane Indians opened up with a five-run first inning, and then counted eight runs in the third on four hits, three walks and an error, topped off by Jack Parks' four-run homer, as they outlasted Bremerton to a 16-14 win. The Tars spanked 22 hits but could not bunch them to score enough runs to overcome the Spokane lead.
Bremerton ........... 240 112 112—14 22 3
Spokane ............. 508 000 30x—16 12 2
Simon, Halstead (3), Pirack (8) and Ronning; Teagan, Babbitt (4) and Parks.

WENATCHEE, June 17—Tacoma outdistanced a one-man assault by Wenatchee's Jim Warner in a 9-5 win tonight. Warner hit a one-run homer in the first and a three-run homer in the seventh to account for all but one run by the Chiefs. The Tigers, meanwhile, reached Bill Caplinger for 16 hits, including a homer by Glen Stetter.
Tacoma ............ 020 012 121—9 16 0
Wenatchee ....... 200 000 300—5 9 3
Fortier, Clary (9) and Sheets; Caplinger and Pesut.
