SALEM, Wash., July 17—Bremerton Tars pulled within two games of the Salem Senators here tonight as they nosed out the league leaders, 4-3.
Clarence Federmeyer went all the way for the Tars, giving up only seven hits.
Carl Gunnarson also went the route for Salem, but a three-run fifth frame was disastrous.

SPOKANE, July 17—A ninth-inning Spokane rally fell one run short tonight as Wenatchee trimmed the Indians 6-5 in a hectic Western International League baseball game.
Wenatchee took in a first-inning lead on Glen Stetter's two-run triple and forged well ahead in the third when Stetter singled in a run and scored on an error.
Wenatchee ...... 302 000 100—6 10 3

YAKIMA, July 17—Vancouver Capilanos made it two straight over the Yakima Stars tonight in their Western International League baseball series as Bob Snyder beat Walt McHugh in a pitchers battle to give the Caps a 4-3 victory.
Five Yakima bobbles paved the way for the Caps' win. Two were by second baseman Art Lilly and another pair by shortstop Buddy Dawson. Only one Vancouver run was unearned.
Vancouver's only big inning was the seventh when Reg Clarkson unloaded with a triple with two men on base.
In Vancouver, general manager Bob Brown reported that Len Gabrielson, the ex Seattle slugger who was supposed to be coming to the Caps, hasn't reported to the Rainiers yet and may decide to forego baseball and stick to his fireman's job in Oakland.
Vancouver ...... 010 000 201—4 6 0
Yakima ........... 010 001 001—3 10 5
Snyder and Brenner; McHugh and McConnell.

TACOMA, July 17—Despite a wild streak, Bob Jensen held Tacoma to five hits tonight while batting in three runs in Victoria's 8-5 Western International League baseball victory over the Tigers.
It broke Tacoma's four-game winning streak over the Athletics.
Jensen struck out eight, walked nine, clouted a home run in the third inning with no one on base and drive in two runs with fly balls. Victoria added its runs one per innning until outfielder Pete Hughes' homer accounted for two in the seventh.
Victoria ......... 101 101 220—8 12 1
Tacoma ........ 000 001 220—5 5 2
