With the demise of the Western Canada Baseball League, Lloydminster would soldier on with an entry in the Northern Saskatchewan League.
The North Battleford Beavers were the cream of the crop winning both the pennant and playoff for the championship. In the deciding game of the best-of-seven final, Beavers scored the winning run on a squeeze play in the 9th inning to top Kindersley 3-2.
The GreenCaps, with Curly Williams at the helm, finished in the middle of the pack in their initial season.
Jim Wiley of the Kindersley Klippers won the batting crown swatting the ball for a .421 average, well ahead of runner-up Kenny Nelson of North Battleford, .386, and John Ford, also of the Beavers, at .372.
