SPOKANE, Aug. 15 – It took an extra inning and more than three hours but the Spokane Indians defeated Victoria 12-11 here Monday night.

Arkansas Pitcher Nearing Baseball Strikeout Mark

PINE BLUFF, Ark., Aug. 15—The Pine Bluff Cardinals wonder if their ace righthander, Eddie Albrecht, isn't destined to be organized baseball's strikeout king this season.
The 170-pound fireballer, property of St. Louis Browns, has whiffed 311 batters while working 27 2 2/3 innings in the class C Cotton States league. A workhorse who has seen action in 47 games, he might run his total to 350 in the remaining 16 days of the season.
Albrecht's hurling prowess isn't limited to strikeouts. He has won 24 games and lost nine, yielded 218 hits and only 78 earned runs. He has walked 126 batters.
