Wenatchee Wins WIL Flag
WENATCHEE, Sept. 2—The Wenatchee Chiefs are indeed chiefs of the Western International League, thanks to a double win Monday over Spokane, 5-1 and 17-3, as the runner-up Salem Senators divided a double bill with Yakima.
Salem captured the opener from the Stars 15-3 but dropped the finale 5-4 to fall eight and one half games behind the leaders with but seven games left on the schedule.

VANCOUVER, Sept. 2—The Vancouver Capilanos split a twin-bill Monday with the Victoria Athletics, with the home team losing the afternoon game 7-6 in ten innings, but winning the night contest, 7-4.
The finale featured six stolen bases by Vancouver, as Alex Palica allowed five hits in picking up his tenth win. Three of the hits were home runs, by Bob Paulson, Bob Cherry and Walt Raimondi.
A towering fly by Reg Clarkson that center fielder Ed Murphy lost in the lights in the second inning cleared the bases to score three of four runs that inning.
In the daytime game, Ray Orteig, earlier voted the Caps' most popular player, was the goat as his boot of Murphy's grounder with two out in the tenth allowed Jack Suytar to score the winner. And the Caps came close to tying it in their half with one out, only to have pinch-hitter Charley Mead force Al Kretchmar at the plate.
