Caps Take Three In Row At Tacoma
By the Associated Press
That home field jinx which the Tacoma Tigers held over their Western International League opponents is definitely a thing of the past.
Until several weeks ago, the league leaders hadn't lost two straight games on its home lot. Then Salem came to town—and left with three straight wins.
Vancouver did it Wednesday night, downing the pace-setters 5-3 to sweep their three-game set and narrow Tacoma's lead to 2½ games over Bremerton which bumped Victoria 3-1.
Wenatchee doubled Yakima 6-3 to jump into sixth place as Salem fell twice before Spokane 7-3 and 6-2.

TACOMA, June 30—A two-run homer in the ninth inning by Joe Rossi wasn't enough as the Tacoma Tigers fell to the Vancouver Capilanos, 5-3 tonight.
The Caps scored twice in the eighth with what ended up being the winning runs, thanks to Bill Reese's double.
Bob Costello tossed a four-hitter for the win.

BREMERTON, June 30—Bremerton Bluejackets rallied to score three runs in the ninth inning tonight to take the series decider from the Victoria Athletics, 3-1.
Hooking up in a keen hurling duel with Lloyd Hittle, ace Bremerton southpaw, Len Kasparovitch was eventually charged with his seventh loss of the season against eight defeats.
He held the Tars for four hits through seven innings and was ahead 1-0 when he ran into a sudden uprising. Ed Samcoff's triple, a double by Eddie Murphy, a walk and singles by Al Ronning and Frank Volpi accounted for the runs.
Victoria's only run came in the sixth when Archie Wilson singled and went to third on Babe Jensen's blow to right on a hit-and-run play. The A's attempted a double steal, which worked when catcher Volpi uncorked a wild throw.
