SOUTHERN LEAGUE
In an unusual twist, the batting statistics accumulated by Southern League hitters during the 1934 campaign were never consolidated into a single format but were published as separate entities for each half of the schedule.
FIRST HALF
First-half batting statistics from the Southern League published in the Regina Leader-Post July 4 give the edge to outfielder Joe Haberman of the Regina Nationals as the circuit's leading hitter. Knocking out 18 base hits in 48 times at bat, Haberman ended the first-half with a .375 average to outdistance Cliff Hogg of the Regina Young Liberals by nine percentage points. Hogg wound up with a .364 mark earned through 12 hits in 33 times at bat. Rounding out the top three was Moose Jaw All-Stars' infielder "Sandy" Thomson who hit the ball at a .342 clip.
SECOND HALF
The Regina Leader-Post announced on August 18 that Cliff Hogg, outfielder from the Regina Young Liberals, had the highest batting average in the 1934 Southern League's second chapter. Hogg stung the ball in the July and August portion of the schedule at a .353 clip by accumulating 18 base blows in 51 official at-bats. His average easily outdistanced second place finisher Joe Haberman, the first-half leader, who came in with second-half totals of 19 hits in 59 trips for a .322 mark. Joe Trapp, rookie third baseman of the Regina Nationals had the third best second-half showing with the bat, posting a .305 average.
Cliff Hogg took the title in combining both halves. Hogg ended up at .357, to edge out Haberman, at .346. Joe Trapp was third, at .315, led the league in stolen bases, with 18, and tied Webb Bird of the Young Liberals for the lead in runs, 21.
