WENATCHEE, Aug. 7—The Wenatchee Chiefs pounded out a 12-4 victory tonight, as veteran Lou McCollum blanked the Victoria Athletics after taking over for Tom Rose in the fourth inning.
Wenatchee matched Victoria's first-inning run and then drove Del Owens out of the ball game with a four-run blast in the second. After the A's rallied for three runs in the fourth, the winners again matched the effort with a rally of their own in the bottom half and added two more in the eighth for insurance.
Len Scarpelli, with a triple, double and three singles, led the Chiefs at the plate. Neil Bryant connected for a two-run homer in the eighth.

SPOKANE, Aug. 7—Spokane defeated Vancouver, 5-4, in the first game of a double-header, as Bill Werbowski stemmed a ninth-inning rally with a brilliant bit of relief pitching.
Werbowski came in with the bases loaded after Jack Teagan had replaced Frank Nelson and forced in two runs by hitting one batter and walking another. The little righthander struck out Charlie Mead and took Orrin Snyder on an outfield fly to save the day.
The Indians scored six times in the second inning of the finale to go on to a 9-4 triumph.
