SALEM, June 5—Big Cal McIrvin throttled the Victoria Athletics after a first-inning run, while his teammates pecked away at Frank Logue and Al Goot in gaining a 6-1 win for the Salem Senators here tonight.
The Senators put six of their 12 hits together in the second and thrid innings to take a 3-1 lead and were never in danger. Outfielder Dick Sinovic provided most of the punch in the two frames as he slammed out a double and a triple.
Victoria's only run came as the result of a walk, an error and Babe Jensen's single.

YAKIMA, June 5—Yakima Packers edged the Vancouver Capilanos, 3-2, in an 11-inning Western International League battle tonight.
Monty Pfyl, who had drawn his third base on balls of the game, scored the winning run on Larry Orteig's single. Pfyl made the run possible by stealing second, also for the third time.
Pfyl's single was the second of the inning given up by Bob Costello, who faced only two batters, but the loss was charged to Hunk Anderson, his first for the Caps this year.
Bill Reese's triple plated both Vancouver runs in the third inning but Bill Freeman tightened up to pitch one-hit ball the rest of the way.
Orrin Synder had his consecutive game hitting streak ended at 19.
