Statistics, 1922       

SASKATOON CITY LEAGUE

Steve Ayres is the batting champion of the 1922 Saskatoon City League. The Saskatoon Elks' shortstop edged out Rube Talbot of Canadian Pacific .387 to .385.  A pair of Canadian National batsmen, George Taylor, .368, and Roy Forsythe, .362, were next and Maurice "Bunny" Clouston of the 5th Battalion was fifth at .340.

Three Canadian National players, Taylor, Forsythe and Ray Watkins tied for the lead in runs, each with 25. Jack Leachman of CN was tops in total bases, 46, and at bats, 108. Talbot had the most hits, 35. Ayres had the most doubles, 9, one more than Watkins and Joe Brown of the Elks was tops in three-baggers, with 6. Brown and Les Leachman of the Battalion each had two homers. Speedy Mel Kerr was well ahead in thefts, leading with 22.

Teammates Lawson Atcheson and Merrill Falby of Canadian National topped the moundsmen. Atcheson worked the most innings, 116, and had the best earned run average, 1.32. Falby who worked 92 innings had a 10-1 record for the most wins and top percentage and led in strikeouts with 91. His 2.32 ERA was among the best.

Before discovering the actual statistics, we had relied on a summary story in the Saskatoon Phoenix for the stats wrap up. Many discrepancies were discovered in the calculations and thus the reworked text above replacing what we had presented earlier, below :

Roy Forsythe of Saskatoon CNR was the batting king of the 1922 Saskatoon City League.  The first baseman and all-round infielder topped the loop with a .409 average in 24 games.  Steve Ayres of the Elks was the runner-up, at .387, just ahead of Rube Talbot of CPR, who finished at .385.  Les Leachman and Joe Brown each had two homers to lead the circuit.  Joe also led in triples with seven while Jack Leachman, Peck O'Donnell and Arthur Abbott had six apiece.  Ayres led in doubles, with nine, one ahead of Ray Watkins. Talbot led in total bases, 44, and Forsythe had 43. Forsythe and Talbot finished one-two in hits with the batting champ getting 36 and the CPR catcher netting 35. Jack Leachman had the most at bats, 108, 11 more than Mel Kerr of the Fifth, who had 97.  Watkins and Wally Taylor, both of the CNR, scored the most runs, each with 25.

MANITOBA SENIOR AMATEUR LEAGUE 

In the closest and most exciting batting race ever by Wesley Park baseballers, Ward McVey of the Tammany Tigers finished strong to edge defending batting champ Jim McCullough of the Transconas by a single point - .342 to .341. A late slump, one hit in his last ten at bats, cost McCullough the crown. Tiger first sacker Johnston was third, at .329. Eddie Cass, the Clubbers' first baseman was fifth with a .327 average and led the league in runs, hits and total bases. McCullough was tops in stolen bases, with 14.

Dunc Irvine of the Arenas topped the hurlers with a 1.60 ERA and 4-1 record for an .800 winning percentage. Darky Bouchard of the Catholic Club was close behind sporting a 1.98 earned run average and a 7-2 mark and was tied with Jack Hind of Transcona for the most complete games, 9. Bert Stainsby had the most wins, 8, and completed all 8 of his starts. He appeared in a league-leading 13 games, one more than Hind who was the workhorse, throwing 93 innings. He had the most strikeouts, 92.

Most of the published averages were out by a few percentage points from those derived 
from the actual hits & at bats noted. The largest differences were for Wishart, Savoie
and Trender who were shown with averages five to seven points below what they should
have had with the at bats and hits shown. The newspaper item showed Keedian with 79 total bases which would have been impossible even if all his 19 hits had been home runs. We
assume a typo, should have been 29.
