VICTORIA, May 21—Frank Logue tossed a four-hitter tonight as the Victoria Athletics took their second in a row from the Vancouver Capilanos, 7-3.
Logue walked five and struck out six.
He allowed the Caps to get on the board in the second inning. Logue walked Charlie Mead, then tried to get Buddy Hjelmaa to hit into a double-play, but Jack Palmer threw over the head of Mike Dalton's head at second, allowing the runners to go to second and third. Bill Reese was intentionally passed to fill the bases and Orrin Snyder's short fly to Lou Kubiak in left field brought in the first run.
The A's went to work in the final half of the inning with seven hits to score five runs. Kubiak beat out an infield hit and went to second on Sal Recca's smash past third base. Dalton hit the first pitch to left centre, scoring Kubiak. Recca and Dalton advanced on the throw before Logue singled solidly to right to score them. Charlie Balassi walked, but Carl Gunnarson got an out when he picked Logue off second base. Vic Buccola dragged a bunt down the first base line for a single. Palmer forced Balassi at third but Archie Wilson beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Babe Jensen then lined a low hit through centre to drive in the fourth and fifth runs.
In the fourth, Logue walked Mead and Hjelmaa, then Reese, making his first appearance after being out with a sore back, doubled one run home and Snyder singled in another.
Victoria's single runs in the third and fourth innings were unearned.
Every member of the A's except Palmer picked up a base hit.
