VANCOUVER, Sept. 5—Tacoma Tigers edged the Vancouver Capilanos, 11-9, here tonight in a 13-inning slugfest which marked the final home appearance of the Caps this season.
Singles by Marv Scott and Dick Kemper drove in three runs in the Tacoma half of the 13th for a winning margin. The losers managed a single run in their last turn at the plate.
Reg Clarkson continued his hard hitting, banging out two home runs and a double in six trips. Ray Orteig and Al Kretchmar also homered for the hometowners while Bob Hedington cleared the fence for the Tigers.

VICTORIA, Sept. 5—Weakened by injuries, Victoria Athletics were handed a 3-1 setback at Royal Athletic Park Thursday night in their last home appearance of the season as the Bremerton Bluejackets copped their second win, 5-1, behind the effective pitching of Hub Kittle.
Over 2,500 customers turned out to honour Ted Norbert, popular manager of the A's, who was given a night at the park in appreciation for his hustling leadership. Norbert was presented with gifts from the players, club management, fans and business firms in a home-plate presentation before game time.
Although wild, Kittle bore down in the pinches and left 12 runners stranded. He got out of a bad jam in the seventh when he retired the side without a run after passing the first three batters. Norbert connected for a pinch double in the eighth, scoring Bill Dunn, who led off with a two-bagger, to spoil Kittle's shut-out bid.
The game was scoreless until the seventh, when the winners pushed over three runs on two hits, a walk and a pair of errors. A home run by Joe Gedzius and an error by Dunn accounted for the last two Bremerton runs in the ninth.
Bob Paulson and Bob Stumpf, Victoria catchers, injured Wednesday night, where unable to play, although Paulson caught the ninth inning. Business manager Reg Patterson was pressed into service behind the plate. Beans Marionetti played part of the game with a severly-swollen finger and Bob Cherry was lost in the early innings when conked on the hand by a pitched ball.
