United Press International The Seattle Rainiers final? ly broke 'through the hitting barrier at Vancouver Thurs day night d efeating the pace-setting Mounties, 4-2, to break the Canadians' string of consecutive shutouts at six straight. Victimized twice by the Mounties' formidable pitching staff in one-run ball games twice this week the Rainiers scored twice in the seventh in ning to snap Vancouver's scoreless inning mark at 48, then pushed across single runs in the eight and ninth frames to ice the victory. The loss halted the Moun ties' string of 1-0 victories at four straight and ended their winning streak at seven. The seventh-inning Seattle upris ing also marked the first runs scored off Mountie starter Gordon Smith in 31 and one third innings. Viftcher's Nightmare At Phoenix, the second- place Giants broke out of the hitting doldrums to outslug Salt Lake, 18-11, and move to within two games of the league-leaders. The Giants slammed out 15 hits and three home runs for the victory, al though the Bees smashed five four-baggers, including Dick Stuart's 24th and 25th homers of the season. The Giants made the most of 13 bases on balls. San Diego dumped Sacra mento, 10-2 for the third night in a row and Spokane defeat ed Portland, 4-2, in other games.

Leon Wagner and Dusty Rhodes also homered for Phoenix. Wagner drove in six runs on five hits. Carlos Ber nier, Kenny Toothman, and Jim McDaniel cipped in with a homer apiece for the Bees.

Reese Feels LA Dodgers In Stride By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles (UPI) Dodger CaptrPee Wee Reese today cheerfully said "We had to come around" as the Los Angeles club for the first time this 'season began looking like the team of old. . The little infielder, dean of National league players, with 15 years in the majors, felt that from now on the club would be a factor in the race. "Don't forget we are no further behind the first club in the National league than the Yankees are ahead of the second club in the American league,", the pleasant spoken Reese said as he awaited his turn An ,the batting cage Reese had been appearing reg ularly the past week at third base since Dick Gray pulled a thigh muscle and the "Little Colonel" has been a factor in the club's resurgence, helping win last Saturday's game from Milwaukee with two homers. "This has been the longest the Dodgers have been in the cellar . since I can recall," Reese said. "We had to come around. We're not that bad a ball club." ,MAILjrRJBiLNIJMdfer!f. ,0reaeljL Friday, June IS ,IMI f Pitching National league Piirkey, Red legs 8-1; McMahon, Braves 5-1: Spahn, Braves 8-2; McCormick, Gi ant 4-1: Friend.
