BREMERTON, May 31—John Marshall held the Victoria Athletics to three hits, but the A's didn't need any of them to score four times in the fourth inning to take the first game of a twin-bill in Bremerton, 6-4. The Bluejackets won the second game, 3-1, as Gene Chelli hurled a five-hitter.
Victoria's first-game rally came after Marshall walked two batters, then Vic Buccola was safe on a bunt when the throw to third was too late for the force. Third baseman Snag Moore then threw wild to first on Mike Dalton's infield and all the bases uncleared themselves. Dalton later scored on Marshall's balk.
Del Owens got credit for the win, although he needed help from Len Kasparovitch, who pitched scoreless ball the last three innings. Marshall took the loss, while Lloyd Hittle was hit-less the rest of the way for Bremerton.
Bremerton squared matters in for the day and the series in the night game. Sal Recca's home run in the fifth accounted for the lone Victoria score. Ed Murphy had opened the scoring earlier when he hit for the circuit in the second inning. A two-run rally in the fourth won it for the Tars.

TACOMA, May 31—Carl Gunnarson quashed trade rumours by hurling a seven-hit game at the hard-hitting Tacoma Tigers, as the Vancouver Capilanos won 5-4 to take the series, two games to one.
Gunnarson's mates cracked out ten hits off Ken Clary. Joe Kaney had three of them, and had nine hits in the series.
The Caps big inning was the fourth when they hooked up a barrage of base hits with two Tacoma errors for a four-run spree. Orrin Snyder put the finishing touches on it with a single in the eighth to score Charlie Mead.
