VICTORIA, June 7—The Victoria Athletics and Wenatchee Chiefs combined for 15 errors in a wild, 20-8, win for the A's to open a series before 2,500 shirt-sleeved fans at Royal Athletic Park tonight.
Victoria rapped out 19 hits from the offerings of Glen Lierman and Jerry Gardner, a catcher who started at first base and ended up on the mound. The Chiefs had only 13 men in uniform and Lierman was forced to take a severe drubbing. They were further weakened Sunday when first baseman Steve Andrade quit the club.
The pattern of things became evident in the second inning when Victoria scored eight runs. Successive errors by Jess McWilliams and Ray McNulty started it. Lou Kubiak then swatted a hard ground ball off Lierman's leg and everyone was safe. Len Kasparovitch, which picked up his sixth victory, lined a single to right field for two runs. A single by Charlie Balassi, Jack Palmer's home run, a hit batsman, Roy Gilmore's hit and Babe Jensen's triple followed.
Three errors by the winners were responsible for five Wenatchee runs, but the locals came back with three runs in their half, featured by Balassi's round-tripper. At the end of three innings, the scoreboard read 11-5 but the earned runs were even, 1-1.
Four more runs in the fifth, another trio in the sixth and singletons in the seventh and eighth completed Victoria's run-making. Working behind a big lead, Kasparovitch allowed single runs in the fifth, sixth and ninth.
A's Notes - Shortstop Mike Dalton has been given his unconditional release and pitcher Dick Walkingshaw has been assigned to Twin Falls to make room on the roster for outfielder Roy Gilmore and pitcher Bill Harmsen. Another new arrival will be catcher Dick Morgan, who is driving up from California. On his arrival, Gil Hawkins will be assigned to a club in a lower league.
Wenatchee ............ 005 011 001—8 10 8
Victoria ................. 083 043 111x—20 19 7
Lierman, Gardner (6) and Dalrymple; Kasparovitch and Recca.

BREMERTON, June 7—Yakima nipped Bremerton, 3-1, in 11 innings tonight to shove the Bluejackets down the fourth spot in the Western International League.
Hub Kittle, returning with Yakima to his former Bremerton haunts, found things to his liking. The veteran twirler spaced eight hits over the distance and choked off a Bremerton threat in the second extra inning with two men on base.
Yakima ............. 000 000 001 02—3 9 0
Bremerton ......... 000 000 100 00—1 8 1
