ManDak LEAGUE :
(James B. Sullivan, Minot Daily News, September 10, 1952)
Final official statistics of the Manitoba-Dakota baseball league for 1952 confirm Manager Zoonie McLean of Minot as the batting champion with a .369 average.
Members of the champion Mallards led in seven individual departments and shared honors in two others. Outfielder Yogi Giammarco and third baseman Duke Bowman of the Mallards each paced two departments in the league figures. Giammarco set a new M-D mark of 11 home runs to eclipse Bob Harvey's record of nine, posted for the Winnipeg Elmwood Giants in 1951. Yogi also led the league in runs scored for 1952 with 56. McLean was second with 54.
Bowman chalked up 233 official times at bat for No. 1 in the circuit and also led all third sackers with a fielding percentage of .938.
Catcher Joe Massaro's total of 55 runs batted in topped Butch Davis' record of 53 for Winnipeg's Buffaloes in 1951.
Center fielder Don Corcoran, another Mallard, was the best outfielder in the league with a .986 fielding percentage. He made only two errors.
Two other Minoters shared individual honors. Outfielder Wally Jako and Winnipeg catcher Lou Louden collected 18 doubles each to pace the loop. Second sacker John Kennedy and the Giants' second baseman-manager, Jess Douglas, stole 14 bases each to show the way.
Outfielder Chick Longest of Carman garnered the most hits in the league this year - 76.
Brandon's Joe Mitchell, a second baseman, established a new mark for triples with 13. Davis held the old figure of nine, recorded in 1951.
Lefthander Hal Price of Winnipeg won the most games, 10, and southpaw Harry Butts of Brandon lost the most, 9.
First baseman Lyman Bostock of Carman led the first sackers with a .989 FA and listed the most putouts for the third year in a row, 505. He had 457 in 1950 and 560 in 1951 - both for the Buffaloes, now defunct.
Douglas of Winnipeg accumulated the most assists, 159, and teammate Nick Cannuli, at shortstop, made the most errors for the summer, 32.
McLean is the all-time leader in assists with 225 in 1951 and shortstop Sonny Andrews of Carman holds the high figure for errors, 39, in 1950.
Skeeter Watkins edged Mclean for fielding honors in 1952. The Carman shortstop compiled a .914 to McLean's .907.
Behind Bowman's .938 at third base was Carman's Ernie Boushe's .875.
Douglas fielded .946 for Winnipeg, Kennedy .930 for Minot and Joe Mitchell .912 for Brandon.
Winnipeg's John Washington was runner-up to Bostock's .989 at first base with a .985 average. Quincy Barbee of Minot had a .982.
Louden was the No. 1 catcher by one point. The Giant made a .975 record and Massaro of the Mallards had .974.
Corcoran's two garden mates were second and third in fielding for outfielders. Jako's .973 made him No. 2 and Giammarco's .949 place him in third spot.
Number of games played is taken into consideration in fielding. In batting a player, according to official rules, must have as many official times at bat as the number of games times 2.6.
For example, Les Lockett of Winnipeg had a .390 average - 21 points better than McLean's - but he had only 100 official times at bat. The number of games scheduled by each team, 54 times 2.6 is 140, leaving Lockett short 40 by appearances.
However, if a batter is so far ahead in the averages that the addition of the necessary ABs would still make him the nominal leader, he also would be champion. Lockett's average would be .279 under those circumstances, however. Official statisticians for 1952 were Bobby Woods and Gloria Swenson. Miss Swenson succeeded Woods in June. Both were members of The News staff
Lefty Hal Price of Winnipeg Giants led the ManDak in wins, with 10. He also topped the loop in innings, 153, and in strikeouts, 130. Gentry Jessup, of Carman, had eight wins

(1) Berland and Makos were not listed in the final statistics published September 3rd. They were
included in the statistics published August 13th and neither is believed to have pitched again
in the regular season after that date. Makos was shown with a 2.18 ERA, but with the earned runs
and innings shown, the figure should have been 1.57.
