VICTORIA, Sept. 7—Bremerton needed six early runs tonight as they held on for a 7-6 win over the Victoria Athletics to remain in a first-place tie in the Western International League with Spokane.
Eddie Murphy opened the game with a triple off Len Kasparovitch. Ed Samcoff's double and a single by Allan Maul sent two runners across. Bremerton added another pair in the second, thanks partly to errors by Jack Palmer and Charlie Balassi, then Frank Volpi's home run, followed by a boot by Palmer gave the Jackets two more in the third. What proved to be the winning tally came home in the sixth.
Sal Recca led off the Victoria second with a home run and then Dick Morgan doubled in Babe Jensen doubled and Archie Wilson in the third. Singles by Wilson and Recca were sanwiched around Jensen's triple in the seventh to make the count 7-5. Jensen homered in the ninth to complete the scoring after Wilson was called out on a close play at first base.

VANCOUVER, Sept. 7—Ernie Choukalous, known more for his football playing with the Winnipeg Bluebombers, went after the first pitch her saw and jomered over the right field wall. He went on from there to collect three hits in six tries and score the winning run as the Vancouver Capilanos outlasted the Yakima Packers, 8-7, in 12 innings.
Choukalous opened the 12th with a single and was sacrificed to second by Orrin Snyder. Sandy Robertson was intentionally walked and Bill Brenner, pinch-hitting for Larry Manier, worked a walk from Garth Ford. Len Tran laid down a bunt and Choukalous tore toward the dish with time to spare.
The game was tied on four different occasions, as the Caps batted aroun for four runs in the fifth only to have the foes turn four hits into three tallies and a 6-all score in the sixth. They went ahead in the seventh and were caught again in the ninth.
