With players voting for various outstanding achievements of the season, the banquet hall resounded with moreé arguments than a night police court and about the only decision which wasn’t debated was the unanimous verdict which gave Chief of Police Ken Junge the prize for the biggest bonehead play of the year. Junge’s claim to fame was based on his nimbleness in reaching third base from second in a Channel League game while his teammate, Joe Snow, was returning to third after a false start for home. An honor guest at the celebration was Leonard Holmquist, acclaimed as the best fan of the season. Holm- quist, who follows every team with keen interest, recalled old diamond days when teams played in Silver Bow Basin. Claude Erskine and Mark Jensen, members of the Douglas nine, and Ed Guerin, chief of the Douglas Fire Department, spoke for the is- land community. Fritz Schmitz, Moose second baseman, was named as the most popular player of the league, with Norm Rustad, Doug- las shortstop, a close second. George Stragier of Douglas was named the outstanding outfielder and Snow the best infielder.
