The statistics in the offensive department which have been long awaited by players and fans alike, have been compiled after wading through a maze of figures recorded in the Senior League games up to date, and are now published for the first time.

Round-trippers were not cò abundant this year, with B Yvanovich, Junior Remedios and P. C. Wong clouting two each, but the home-run title could caslly have been
