Triple Killing Notched By Indians
By the Associated Press
The Spokane Indians sit in third place in the Western International League today despite being victims of the season's first triple play.
The Redmen slapped a pair of defeats on the Victoria Athletics 13-11 and 10-1 yesterday to jump into the first division a half game ahead of Vancouver.
The triple play came in the third inning of the opener after Bill Wright and Bud Sheely had singled. George Valine, attempting to bunt, popped the hall behind the pitcher's box. Vic Buccola raced over from first base to make a diving catch, fired the ball to Lou Kubiak at second who relayed to Jack Palmer at first to complete the triple killing.
Tacoma slapped Salem down twice 6-2 and 5-4 but failed to gain ground on runner-up Bremerton which dumped Salem by scores of 9-7 and 7-3.
Vancouver and Wenatchee divided their twin bill, the Canadians winning the first 7-4 and Wenatchee breaking an 11-game losing streak with a 5-4 second game triumph.

WENATCHEE, June 20—Home runs by Bill Reese, Charlie Mead and Jack Warren helped Vancouver pick up a 7-4 win in the opener of a Sunday twin-bill in Wenatchee. The Chiefs won the second game, 5-4.
Reece and Warren hit solo homers, Warren's in the fifth inning, while Charlie Mead had a two-run shot for Vancouver. Bill Wilson batted in three of the four Wenatchee runs, two of them on a home run.
In the night game, Warren had two homers amongst his four hits, and batted in all the Vancouver runs. Wilson also smacked a solo shot in this game.
