VICTORIA, Aug. 29—The Vancouver Capilanos sent 17 batters to plate off three Victoria pitchers in the fifth inning to score 11 times in a 22-7 Western International League thrashing of the Victoria Athletics.
Bill Brenner got Vancouver first circuit-clout in the second inning, boosting one of Bob Jensen's fast ones over the centre field fence to bring in Al Kretchmar and Charlie Mead.
Then came the big inning, which saw Jensen yanked after eight scored with only one out. He was placed by sore-armed Tommy Musgrave.
Jim Hedgecock's solo homer smacked a solo homer in the sixtht, and Ray Orteig's home run brought in Jimmy Estrada in the eighth.
Hedgecock, who scattered ten hits, had four RBIs, as did Lou Estes.
Eddie Murphy and Jake Suytar each homered twice for Victoria.

WIL All Stars Picked
TACOMA, Aug. 30—Compiled by the National Association Press Bureau from the votes of writers in the circuit, the 1946 All-Star team for the Western International Baseball League was released yesterday.
Widely diversified opinions marked the selections, especially in the pitching department. Victoria's number one moundsman, popular Bob Jensen, got the nod for the club's right-handed hurler by a single vote over Spokane's Milt Cadinha. The left-hander, Cy Greenlaw of Tacoma, also had rugged opposition and won his berth by one vote over Ken Wyatt of Salem and Al Yaylian of Yakima.
There was not a single unanimous choice, but second baseman Glen Stetter of Wenatchee, outfielder Bill Barisoff of Bremerton and manager Buddy Ryan of Wenatchee won their places handily, missing only two of the first-chance ballots.
