SOUTHERN
ALBERTA LEAGUE :
(From the Calgary Herald, September 3,
1959)
Tom Wilcox of the Vauxhall Jets is the King of Swat in the Southern
Alberta Baseball League.
The Jets' first-baseman wound up the schedule
hitting at a .362 clip, nine percentage points better than teammate Tom
Gonzalez. The figure was derived from 55 hits in 252 trips to
the plate. (Editors' note: Of course,
55 for 252 would be a .218 average, so I assume the paper meant 55 for 152
which would result in a .362 mark.)
Brack Bailey of the pennant
winning Lethbridge White Sox was third at .341 with the Dodgers' Marty
Hurd fourth at .341.
The Dodgers had four .300 hitters, the others
being Bill Fennessey at .331, Marve Marchbanks
at .324, and Bill Casanova at .307.
John Harmon, Vauxhall's
playing-manager, actually owned the best percentage at .432 but he had only
81 official times at bat. Each man had to come to the plate 100 times
to figure in the batting derby. (The
Lethbridge Herald, September 3, 1959 provided final stats for the Lethbridge
White Sox)
