SPOKANE, Aug. 23—Salem Senators, infuriated by two Sabbath shellacquings, rose and bludgeoned their tormentors tonight with a 13-6 hammering of the Spokane Indians.
The loss dropped Spokane into third place, half a game behind Victoria's rained-out Athletics.
Three Indian hurlers were sentenced to the slab during the evening. Bob Hedington left his usual post at third base to do duty on the mound, but found the hill as torrid as the hot corner.
The visitors touched him for four tallies in the ninth. Starter Jim Olson was the winner.
Cal Mclrvin, who has been masquerading as a pitcher, put on outfielder's livery for Salem and rapped four safeties, including a homer, to pace the 19-hit assault.
Salem .......... 201 410 014—13 19 2

WENATCHEE, Aug. 23—The Yakima Packers had to go 10 innings tonight to nip the home team Wenatchee Chiefs, 11-9.
The Chiefs came from behind with four runs in the seventh and one—Jess McWilliams' homer—in the ninth to knot the count Lou Estes doubled home Larry Orteig and later scored on Snag Moore's single in the overtime. Leroy Stevens was the losing pitcher.
