(June 30) In its June 30th edition, reporter Bob Ferguson of the London Free Press reported on the early statistics in the Intercounty League (emphasis added) :
Slugging Elgin Outfielder Aims for IC Homer Crown
Appearing in eight of a possible nine games, outfielder Dick Wright of St. Thomas Elgins has declared himself a prime candidate for the 1961 Senior Intercounty home run championship.
The Dresden-born slugger has nicked opposing pitchers for only eight hits in 24 trips for a .333 average. But five of the eight blows have cleared the barriers and two of the five homers have come with the bases loaded. The result is the 23-year-old, 6-foot, 200-pound Elgin leads the league in runs batted in with 13, homers with five and shares the total base lead with Brantford's George Carruth and Kitchener-Waterloo's Ron Hergott, each with 23.
The past week's action has produced several other changes in the batting race with Panthers' Dave Smallwood still pacing the pack with .458 closely followed by Bob Frazier of Brantford, and Bob Zister of Listowel, with .455 apiece. In fourth position is Fred Thompson of Hamilton with .429 and teammate Murray Oliver, the Boston Bruins hockey star, with .424.
Wielding a red-hot bat in the past couple of games, catcher Kerry Leitch of London Diamonds, took over sixth spot with a sizzling .393 followed by Listowel's Bill Skelding with .391. Brantford's Marv Larsen is next with .382 and Dan "Thumper" Jackson ninth at .375.
Infielder Billy Zubyk, the hitting surprise of the London line-up, ranks 10th with a stellar .351, a dip of 13 points in the past week.
Jimmy Wilkes, outfielder-president of Brantford's Red Sox, continues to set the run scoring pace with 15 and also leads in stolen bases with 7.
Delaney Paces Pitchers
Checking in with a nifty 0.91 earned run average in 19 2-3s innings, Hamilton's Bob Delaney takes over the loop's pitching leadership. Teammate Eric Lomax is right behind with 1.00 in nine frames.
George McGuire, holder of three London victories and the circuit's strikeout leader with 36, ranks third in ERA with 1.55 followed by Gary Ronberg of K-W, with 1.58 and Bob Putz of Guelph, with 1.66.
Brantford's Spud Bush is the loop's biggest winner with five triumphs in six decisions. He's also hurled the most frames, 39 2-3s, and issued the most walks, 19.
Elgins' Vern Snowsell has yielded the most runs, 23, while Ross Paton of Hamilton, and Gerry Denomme, K-W, share the distinction of allowing the most hits, 35 apiece. London's Hugh Fletcher is the biggest loser in the circuit with no victories and four losses. Figures include games through June 25 excepting June 21, Guelph at Galt; June 23, St. Thomas at Hamilton; and June 24 K-W at Galt, for which reports have not been received.
