TACOMA, July 16—After dropping five in a row to Victoria last week, Tacoma Tigers won their fourth straight game from the Athletics in their Western International League game here tonight, 5-3.
Victoria out-hit Tacoma 7-6 but the Tigers employed their base knocks to better advantage. Tacoma took the lead in the first inning by scoring twice on a walk, a sacrifice and singles by Marvin Scott and Dick Kemper, but Victoria gained a 3-2 advantage by chasing across three runs in the fourth on a walk, a hit batsman, a single by Bill Dunn and Neil Clifford's double.
In their half of the fourth, the Tigers promptly moved out in front for keeps with two runs on a walk, Roy Peterson's triple and an error. The final Tacoma run was registered in the eighth on two walks and a single by Freddie Marsh.
Manager Ted Norbert announced the release of southpaw pitcher Jim Hess prior to the game. Hess joined the club several weeks ago on option from the Portland Beavers but failed to complete a starting assignment.
