LEWISTON, Aug. 17— Lewiston and Tri-City stayed stationary Sunday night in their Western International league second division battle as the Broncs won the doubleheader opener 3-0 and the Braves took the nightcap, 4-1.
Tri-City Pitcher George New allowed Lewiston but three hits and no earned runs in the nine–inning second contest. The Broncs pushed across their only tally on a single, two walks and two series in the fourth.
Ex-WSC star Tom Marier hit a home run in the fifth with one on to score the two runs which broke the Broncs’ back.
Dale Thomason shut out Tri-City in the seven-inning opener as he allowed but four hits, four walks and struck out three Brave batters.
Bob Williams boomed out a one aboard home run in the first inning and the Broncs were never threatened as they added to their safety margin with the final run in the third.

SPOKANE, Aug. 17 — Spokane and Salem split a tightly-played Western International league doubleheader Sunday night, with the Indians winning the first game 4-3 and the Senators taking the second contest 2-1.
Lefty Jack Spring, who was hurling for Washington State College last spring, held Salem to four hits, but lost his own game when a balk scored Connie Perez from third in the eighth inning of the nightcap.
Spring and Ray McNulty hooked up in a real pitcher's duel in what was scheduled to be a seven inning second game, as the Salem hurler was four-hit stingy too and allowed Spokane but one run, in the second inning.
The nine-inning opener wag a thriller down to the last pitch with Spokane spurting to their one-run victory margin with a three-tally burst in the last of the ninth.
Salem Pitcher Vince DiBiasi starved the Indians on a meager five hits through eight innings, but took to the showers when Jimmy Brown, Ed Bouchee and Wilbur Johnson greeted him with successive singles.
Ted Edmunds took to the mound for Salem, muffed a sacrifice bunt and then watched a broken-bat hit by Sam Kanelos chase the tying and winning runs across the plate.
