SPOKANE, July 29—The Spokane Indians boosted their league lead to two full games over Vancouver by handing the Capilanos a 6-3 defeat for their third win of the key four-game series between the two contenders.
The front-runners, who are making it a two-team race, entered the series tied for first place after the Caps had paced the pack since the start of the season.
Spokane's fleet-footed Eddie Murphy pilfered two more bases Sunday to bring his season's total to 73 — just four short of the league record and more thin tht combined efforts of players on any other team in the circuit.
The four-game series here was played before a three-day record crowd of 16,481.
The loss went to Ron Smith, purchased last week from Victoria. He yielded four runs before being yanked in the fourth in favour of Bob McLean.
Gordon Brunwick smacked a two-run homer in the fifth for Vancouver, whiile Charlie Mead singled in the Caps' final run in the eighth with one of his three hits.
Jim Wert and Larry Sheets each batted in a pair of Indians.
