1932 BC Interior
1932 Vancouver Island
Victoria Senior Amateur Baseball League
Returning to the fold for the 1932 campaign were the Elks, last season’s champions, the Tillicum Club entry and the Sons of Canada, 1930 pennant winners. The Eagles franchise of the season past has been taken over by the Green Mill Cafe for the 1932 diamond battles.
(May 21) The defending champion Elks got out of the gate with gusto, taking the Sons of Canada for an 8 to 6 ride in the opening game of the 1932 Victoria Senior Amateur Baseball League. Both clubs managed to cream the orb with consistency although the Antlered Tribe did a better job in the pinches. Art “Doc” Webster went the route for the knoll victory, scattering twelve safeties and whiffing six. Jack Noble, who toed the rubber for the Sons, was in good form, yielding ten safeties and fanned an equal number, but received miserable support in clutch situations. Shortstop Jack McKenzie and outfielder Norm Forbes each had a triad of safe swats for the Elks with Forbes registering a triple in his total. Herb Cummins wasn’t far behind with a brace of three-baggers. Jack Bacon, Bill Holman and Ainsley Worthington all singled twice for the Clubbers.

(August 17) With speedball artist Lloyd Cann limiting the heavy-hitting Green Mill club to just two scattered hits, the Sons of Canada galloped back into the leadership of the Senior Amateur Baseball League by virtue of their 6 to 0 conquest of the Cafemen. Cann was at his best, striking out seven while walking just one. Leo Holden was on the hill for Green Mill and was nicked for eight hits while whiffing eleven and walking two. Falconer “Kim” Campbell and Herb Doherty both stroked a pair of base knocks for the winners. The win puts the Canadians into an enviable position with respect to obtaining a bye in the league playoffs. Their one-game lead has earned them at least a tie for top spot in the loop.

(August 19) Pitcher Jimmy Kennedy hurled the Elks to a 9 to 3 upset victory over the Green Mill nine at Royal Athletic Park. The loss for the Eatery Gang condemns them to second place in the circuit and negates the need for their playing a final league game against the Tillicums. Both Kennedy and loser Bill Holness had similar statistics on the knoll, each yielding seven safeties while fanning one. The big difference was the lax defensive support afforded Holness by his mates. No less than nine fielding miscues were recorded by the Restaurateurs. Outfielder Herb Cummins smashed a triple, double and single for the Antlered Herd.
