TACOMA, May 29 — Hammering out a total of 17 hits including a homer, two triples and a pair of doubles, the Tacoma Tigers drubbed the Yakima Stars here Wednesday night, 14-4, to square their Western International league series to one game each.
The Tigers jumped on Max Strait, Yakima's starting pitcher, for six hits and as many runs in his two and two-thirds innings on the hill, and completed the massacre against Dick O'Boyle, who went the rest of the way.
Dick Kemper, Tacoma catcher, hit an inside-the-park home-run with two mates aboard in the third inning, and Bobby Joratz and Hank Vallee each contribued three hits to the Tiger attack.

SALEM [Vancouver News-Herald, May 30]—Vancouver Capilanos, hoping to find some badly needed power at the plate, recently signed Lew Estes, third sacker from San Diego of the Coast League.
Estes didn’t play third base here Wednesday but he had the power and plenty of it. The newcomer to the Cap ranks took charge of left field and socked a homer, double and single to lead Syl Johnson’s squad to a 7-1 victory over Salem.
HUNK SHINES
While Estes and his teammates were hammering two Senator southpaws for 10 hits, big Hunk Anderson was firing his high hard one across and gave up only five scattered hits.
The only run Salem did get in the first inning was the result of Hunk’s own wildness. He walked two men and hit a third, but after that he was on top all the way.
The Caps won the game in the second frame when Estes doubled, Estrada and Anderson singled. Estes clouted a 370-foot blow over the left field wall in the fourth, Estrada and Watts Gulan powered a triple to account for a brace more.
Al Kretchmar also collected three-for-four during the night’s festivities. The two clubs play a Memorial Day doubleheader this afternoon.
Vancouver ..... 020 220 100—7 19 0
Salem ........... 100 000 000—1 5 3
Anderson and Spurgeon; Wyatt, Hess (5) and Kerr.

SPOKANE, May 29 — The Spokane Indians mustered 17 hits and utilized eight Victoria errors to post a 14 to 2 victory over the Athletics.
Pete Hughes, Victoria right fielder, provided both visitors' runs in the first inning when he poled out a home run to score Vic Buccola ahead of him.
Spokane tied the score in its half of the first when an error enabled Bob Peterson a double into a circuit ticket to take a lead that was never challenged.
Victoria ......... 200 000 000— 2 10 8
Spokane ........ 311 200 43x—14 17 1
