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 :

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.

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.
