VANCOUVER, May 17—Bill Brenner, first man up in the ninth inning, promptly took two strikes, then just as promptly lined a home run over the right field wall to break a 1-1 deadlock tonight and give the Vancouver Capilanos a 2-1 win in a Western International League game here over the Victoria Athletics.
Hal Saltzman, the winning pitcher, blew a kiss to the ball as it flew away, as it gave him his first win of the year. Saltzman tossed a seven-hitter in raising his record to 1 and 3.
Babe Jensen opened the scoring for the A's in the second inning by singling in Archie Wilson, who had reached second on Jack Warren's error in right before the Caps added a run tying run in the fourth. Warren reached base on the error, advanced on two wild pitches, and scored on Buddy Hjelmaa's single.

YAKIMA, May 17—Bob Drilling, a 24-game winner in the Pioneer League last year, was marked up with his fifth successive Western International League setback as a pinch-hit double by Gene Gaviglio sparked a six-run sixth inning to hand Wenatchee a 12-7 victory over Yakima.
Jess McWilliams batted in three other runs with successive triples to set the batting pace for the Chiefs.

SALEM, May 17—The Spokane Indians staved off a late rally by the Salem Senators to eke out an 8-7 win in a Western International League game Monday night.
Three walks and an error figured prominently in the fourth-run eight inning for the Indians. And the runs were needed as the Solons added four of their own — one in the eighth and three in the bottom of the ninth.
Bud Sheely's three-run homer in the fourth inning laid the groundwork for Spokane's win.
