VANCOUVER, May 19—With the help of a 13-hit attack, including a trio of home runs, Hunk Anderson won his first game since returning the Vancouver Capilanos, a 13-3 thumping of the Victoria Athletics tonight.
He struck out eight, walked five and gave up seven hits.
Victoria took an early lead when Archie Wilson doubled over a run in the second inning, but it was not for long. Frank Mullens poked one of Larry Ward's pitches over the looming right-field fence with a runner aboard in the third. Vancouver then batted around in the sixth and scored a half dozen runs, as Joe Kaney's long, two-run smash over the Owl Drugs sign chased Larry Ward from the mound.
Charlie Mead opened the seventh with a circuit bash, and four straight walks in the eighth inning was the end of relief pitcher Al Goot.
Caps Notes - Rookie righthander Ev Pearson has been sent to El Centro on a three-day recall basis.

Failure at Plate, Barisoff Returns to Mound
BREMERTON, May 18—Bill Barisoff, home run record-holder of the Western International League, has been pulled out of the Bremerton Bluejackets' outfield and will be a pitcher.
Manager Alan Strange made the announcement today after Barisoff had picked up only two singles in seven games.
In 1946 Barisoff was the sensation of the circuit. He blasted 40 home runs, a new record, drove in 155 runs, topped the league in triples with 18 and had an average of .340.
His inability to get on base this year brought the curtains down. He'll go back to the pitching career he started by being named the outstanding high school baseball player in the Los Angeles City League in his senior year.
