Vancouver got into the win column via a one-hit 3-1 victory for Bob Harrison over San Fran cisco and Portland split with Sacramento, winning 6-1 in the daylight and losing 6-5 under the lights.

Easily the best game of the season was turned in yesterday afternoon when Harrison, a 25- year-!ld strikeout artist from Wichita of the Western Associa tion, limited San Francisco to a single. Harrison was wild in the early innings and deprived himself of a shutout by issuing three walks after giving up his only hit a single by Don Lenhardt in the fourth frame. The walk that forced in San Francisco's run was the eighth Harrison gave up in four frames and the last of the game as he cut the Seals down the rest of the way. Rightfielder Angelo Dagres MedfordJTrebune provided all the necessary punch for the Mounties' initial win when he singled with the bases loaded for two Vancouver runs in the third.

Stranahan had trouble find ing the green on the front nine, partly because of a morning wind. He made up for it with a blazing putter, having 13 one putt greens. He posted -a 32 coming in four strokes off par.
