VICTORIA, Aug. 27—4,500 fans who turned out for Fan Appreciation Night at Royal Athletic Park tonight didn't go away disappointed. The Athletics extended their winning streak to eight games with a 6-2 triumph over the Vancouver Capilanos.
Del Owens only allowed a drag bunt to Frank Mullens in the first inning before running into a jam with two out in the sixth. Joe Kaney doubled and Mullens connected for a home run. Jack Warren cloued a double but Vic Buccola nabbed Charlie Mead's liner for the out.
Archie Wilson's double scored Jack Palmer for Victoria's first run in the first inning, then Jim Hedgecock was given an early shower with a four-run outburst in the fourth, two walks and two doubles doing the damage, the last by Charlie Balassi scoring two. Vern Kindfather came in to relieve and took seven A's on strikes, using the sharpest and fastest curve seen here for some time. He got into trouble in the eigthh when two singles and as many walks put over the final run.
A's notes — The pre-game entertainment featured Vic Buccola dressed as Frank Sinatra doing 'Night and Day,' Len Kasparovitch and pseudo-Hawaiians Al Goot, Archie Wilson and Jack Palmer doing a pseudo-hula, Charlie Balassi and his steed with some Western entertainment, and Sal Recca with a fine solo, and teaming with his wife in a special Hawaiian number honouring umpire Bill Husband and his wife of a few hours.
