Hilding Hagiund, aglle center- gardener for the Moose team, stands forth as the colossal clouter of the Gastineau Channel League for 1937; replacing Douglas' Mark Jensen, last year's batting champ, who this season sank far toward the tall of the list. Haglund rapped the apple throughout the regular season for an average of 444, collecting 28 hits in 63 times at bat, and crossing the plate with 19 tallies to lead in the run scoring department also. Next in line behind Haglund.is the per- ynnial Island power-at-the-plate, tirst-sacker and manager Walt “Big Andy" Andrews. Andrews poked out 29 safe blows in 69 offictal times in the batters’ box, to lead all in the matter of number of hits, Speed of Foot g A good ‘share of Haglund's syé- cessful connections resulted - from his speed-of foot, which enabled him to beat out a goodly share of bunts and infield wallops; while Tslander to shoke his aged limbs enough to arrive safely at the. first station. Tre reason why the Moose and the Islanders are the two teams fighting it out for the league flflz is apparent from a glance at the averages, which show a hefty sprin- kling of Paps and Red-clads in'the top notches. “Big Mac” on Top - The actual leading pill powderer of the cellarite Elks is' “Blg’ Mac" MacSpadden, veteran hurler and utility man, who wound up-his hit-- ting season * just - under the select .300 .circle. ‘Three other Elks .are’ theoretically above him in.the standings, but Dick McDonald and Ted .
