SPOKANE, July 26 — The Spokane Indians bounced back into the running Sunday as they trounced the Vancouver Capilanos 11 to 6 in their Western International League tilt.
Stan Palys drove in two runs in the first inning with a 375 foot home run. The Indians scored another run on a single, a stolen base, and a wild pitch.
Spokane brought in seven runs in the big seventh inning, putting together three hits, a pair of walks, three Vancouver errors, and a hit batsman to make the tallies. The inning's highlight was Palys' bases-loaded triple.
The Indians sent in another run in the eighth for "insurance".
Vancouver squeezed out one run in their half of the fourth inning, and then manager Harvey Storey homered in the sixth to score two more counters.
The Caps rallied a bit in the ninth as they brought in three runs off three doubles and a single.
Van Fletcher was the victim of the Indians' uprising and took the loss, while Jack Spring gained his tenth win.
