NEW YORK, NY. September 25, 1915 - One night after the United League Awards were announced, the Columbia League had an event of their own to announce their best players.
It was a season to remember for Dave Mulligan. He was one of the most dangerous men in the league when he had a bat in his hand, and the Columbia League announced today that he has won the James A. Gilmore MVP Award for 1915 as well as the Columbia League Rookie of the Year Award.
The St. Louis first baseman dominated opposing pitchers with a .278 batting average, 25 doubles, 16 triples, 5 home runs and 46 RBIs while compiling a .404 on-base percentage and scoring 78 runs.
This year the top votegetter for the 1915 W.A. Willman Pitcher of the Year Award was Whitey Upchurch of the champion Chicago Whales, who finished with an outstanding 22-11 mark and an impressive 2.42 ERA.
In his award-winning season, the 29-year-old Whales star hurled 289.2 innings, chalking up 227 strikeouts and 105 walks, and limited hitters to a .224 batting average.
