Rough Go For WIL Chuckers
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
It was no day for pitchers Sunday in the Western International League.
Two of the games saw the winning team post 20 or more runs; in three others the top club had 10 or better. Wenatchee got six homers in the second game against Vancouver, and Spokane's Jack Parks banged out two bases-loaded home runs, a triple and two singles in the finale against Victoria.
HERE ARE RESULTS
Briefly the results went like this:
Yakima took a pair from Tacoma, 3-2 and 12-6; Bremerton also swept two from Salem 10-2
and 8-7; Vancouver edged Wenatchee 7-6 in two extra innings of the first game, then lost a brutal 21-6 decision in the second. Victoria clubbed Spokane 12-8, then was battered 20-6 in return.
The results widened Yakima's first place margin over Vancouver to six and a-half games and Jumped Bremerton from seventh to a precarious fifth place. The Tars lead Salem by a bare
percentage point.
OTHER FEATURES
Other features: John Marshall's posting his 19th win of the season for Bremerton in letting Salem down with seven hits in the seven-inning opener; Jim Hedgecock's four-hit twirling for nine innings of relief that enabled Vancouver to edge Wenatchee in the opener; and Len Tran's triple followed by Dick Sinovic's home run that provided the Vancouver club with the winning punch in the second extra inning.
Only the two Canadian fields are lighted Monday night, Vancouver entertaining Yakima and Victoria hosting Salem in the openers of three-game sets. Tuesday, Wenatchee opens at Tacoma and Spokane at Bremerton.

SPOKANE, July 24—The Spokane Indians and Victoria Athletics split a pair at Ferris Field on Sunday, as the A's won the first game, 12-8, with a sparkling relief chore by Frank Logue. He took over from Pete Vucurevich with two out in the third after the Indians took a 6-3 lead and held the home nine to two runs in six and a third innings. Only one was earned.
Bob Day and Frank Matoh homered for the A's, Day had three hits and a five-RBI game. Ken Richardson had a solo blast for Spokane.
The Indians, who have won 12 out of 14 against Victoria this year, came back in the second game to pound out a 20-6 triumph.
Jack Parks hit two bases-loaded home runs, a triple and two singles to account for nine runs.
The A's put up three runs in the third, chased starter Tobey Tobias with a six-run fourth and put up five in the fifth and four in the six off Pete Vucurevich and Frank Logue. Seven of the runs, four earned, were charged to Vucurevich, who lasted two-thirds of an inning after working only the first three and two thirds in the first game.
Frank Matoh went three for three as Victoria rustled up 12 hits.
