May Awards Handed Out

NEW YORK, NY. June 2, 1916 - In the last year of his deal with Washington, Eli Calhoun has created some waves by winning May's United League MVP of the Month title today.

He put up a solid .411 batting average with 1 home run, 15 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He also worked UL pitchers for 34 walks and a .565 on-base percentage.

If he keeps churning out numbers like these, the 32-year-old is sure to draw some attention, when contract time rolls around.

This year Calhoun has hit at a .389 clip with 75 hits, 1 home run, 29 RBIs and 44 runs scored.

The Columbia League MVP of the Month has been picked for May and the honor goes to the St. Louis Terriers Dave Mulligan.

He compiled a .343 batting average with 37 hits and 4 home runs, along with 14 RBIs and 23 runs scored.

This season Mulligan is batting .322 with 4 home runs.
