YAKIMA, June 14—Victoria Athletics were no match for the league-leading Yakima Bears tonight, taking a 13-4 trouncing in the opener of a four-game series at Yakima.
Shortstop Dick Briskey was the big gun in Yakima's 18-hit attack against Jim Propst and Frank Prowse, banging out three doubles and a single. Propost was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the second inning after giving up four runs in the first. Prowse gave up single runs in the third, fourth and fifth and was really flattened in the sixth when the Bears opened up for six runs.
Bill Bradford was freely hit but used a strikeout ball to his advantage, whiffing the side in three innings and taking 13 A's on strikes. He lost his shutout in the seventh when an error by Babe Gammino in right field paved the way for four unearned runs.
The A's picked up 12 hits with Charlie Balassi getting three of them.
The Victoria cause was not helped by Prowse's wildness, the righthander issuing 12 bases on balls.

SPOKANE, June 14—Tacoma teed off on Bill Werbowski early and Ray Fortier coasted in to get the victory over the Spokane Indians. Jack Warren hit a two-run homer for the Tigers in the 9-5 decision while Ken Richardson connected for a Spokane circuit blow with the bags empty.
The first three Spokes to face Fortier in the first frame ripped out singles but he quelled the mutiny by rubbing out the next three batters in order.

The Jacktars found Cy Greenlaw and Lou McCollum for 17 hits, four of them—a homer, a double and two singles—by Pocekay.
Jim Warner, with a home run and three singles, starred at the plate for the losers.
