VANCOUVER, July 17—Hunk Anderson tossed an eight-hitter the Victoria Athletics and won, 8-4, in the opener of a twin-bill on Saturday. But Carl Gunnarson was even stingier in the night game. He allowed only seven hits but lost to the Athletics, 2-1.
Vancouver had three-run innings in the first and sixth innings in the opener.
About the only only highlight was umpire John Nenezich's decision to toss both Caps centre fielder Frank Mullens and Victoria manager Ted Norbert for arguing his calls too loudly.
Archie Wilson spoiled Gunnarson's game in the night contest, driving in both Victoria runs with a double and a homer.
Charlie Mead's double brought in Frank Mullens for the Vancouver run.

TACOMA, July 17—Joe Sullivan, home game ace of the Bremerton club, was transported to Tacoma tonight and made the trip worthwhile as he pitched the Bluejackets to a 3-2 win over the leading Tigers.
