BREMERTON, Sept. 1—The Bremerton Bluejackets salvaged their Western International League baseball series with Vancouver three games to two Wednesday by defeating the Capilanos, 7-4.
Four triples helped make Bremerton's 10 hits more effective than Vancouver's 13. The three-basers were hit by Jay Ragni, Lyle Palmer, Don Stanford and Lil Arnerich.
It took Vancouver five innings to solve the left-handed stuff of veteran Joe Sullivan. The Caps scored three times that inning, then once more in the sixth.
They had a rally going in the seventh, but with the bases loaded and two out, Lloyd Hittle came on to relieve Sullivan and struck out Joe Kaney to retired the side.
Buddy Hjelmaa, with a double and two singles, and Jack Warren with a double and a single, paced the Vancouver hitting.

SPOKANE, Sept. 1—The sizzling Spokane Indians keep pounding at the door of the Western International League penthouse. They moved to four and a half games behind Bremerton with a double win over the Wenatchee Chiefs, 5-4 and 6-3.
John Orphal spun a four-hitter in the night game, while the Indians needed an extra inning in the regulation seven-inning opener. The winning run scored on Neil Bryant's overthrow at first.
Wenatchee manager Chuck Cronin gave up eighth hits in the first game, none of them by Leo Thomas, thus stopping the Indian third-sacker's hitting streak at 20 games. Reliefer Gene Babbitt was the winner. It was the Indians' fourth straight over the Chiefs.

TACOMA, Sept. 1—Singles by Bernie Hargadon, Ray Fortier and Danny Permutter resulted in a 12th inning run as Tacoma defeated Victoria, 8-7, tonight.
The teams matched scoring throughout the game with each club scoring once in the first, twice in the second, three times in the fifth and once in the ninth. The Tigers squared the count in the bottom of the ninth when Buddy Lewis singled, and completed the circuit on Ray Tran's single.
Frank Logue, bidding for the Western International Legaue won-loss percentage honours, went the route for the A's and suffered his sixth setback in 14 victories.
