TACOMA, Sept. 2—Bob Kerrigan, Tacoma southpaw, tonight became the second pitcher in Western International League history to win 25 games and the third to capture 12 in a row when he hurled Tigers to a 5-4 decision over the Wenatchee Chiefs.
Ironically, Kerrigan’s mound opponent was Joe Blankenship, who while pitching for Victoria in 1948, hung up the 25-victory record. The standard for consecutive triumphs was also set in 1948 when Spokane’s Frank Nelson turned the trick and the mark was tied earlier this year by Sandy Robertson of Vancouver.

SALEM, Sept. 2—Spokane's Indians, each day threatened with a fall back into the Western International league cellar Saturday night snared an 8-1 verdict over the basement-dwelling Salem Senators.
The teams close out the Salem home season with a Sunday twin-bill.

VICTORIA, Sept. 2 — Vancouver Capilanos slammed back into fifth place in the league standings Saturday night when they completed a Saturday sweep with their second 6-4 victory of the day over Victoria Athletics. The wins were the first for Vancouver at Victoria this season.
Converted infielder Bob McLean won the first game in his second Western International League start on the mound. He pitched a three-hitter, but he walked 11 men and hit another.
Victoria righthander John Marshall, far off form, gave up at least one hit in ever inning and a total of 14 but was deadlocked, 3-3, going into the ninth. Then, a piece of strategy backfired and cost him his 12th defeat in 27 decisions.
With two out, and Ray Tran on second base, Reg Clarkson was intentionally walked to get at Dick Sinovic. The Vancouver outfielder promptly broke it up by hitting a homer over the left centre field fence. Two bases on balls and a hit batsman filled the bases in the Victoria ninth with two out. Bob Snyder came in and walked John Hack to force in the A's fourth run but then induced pinch-hitter Al Ronning to fly out.
In the finale, Bob Bruenner allowed 11 hits, including two triples and a home run by Bob McGuire and doubles by Gene Thompson and Ronning.
Sinovic hit his second three-run homer in the first inning to give Bruenner the leadm but the A's put Jim Propst back in the battle with one run in the first and two in the third. A base on balls, Bill Heisner's first triple and Bruenner's single gave the Caps enough runs to win in the fourth.
