NEW YORK, NY. June 1, 1918 - Each league announced their monthly awards yesterday, and here are May's recipients:
In the United League, the award was given to Hermann Howland, the first baseman of the New York Gothams. He hit .336 with 37 hits, 4 home runs, 20 RBIs, and 15 runs. Unfortunately, the third-year player tore an ankle ligament and will be out for the next 5-6 weeks.
The defending champion Gothams lead the United League with a 35-22 record.
In the Columbia League, the award went to 22-year-old pitcher Juan Longstreet. The Chicago native went 6-1 in May with a 1.48 ERA. He held his opponents to a .236 batting average.
Longstreet is 9-4 with a 1.99 ERA so far this season. His club, the Newark Peppers, are 1.5 games up on last years pennant winners. Newark has never finished higher than 5th place and Peppers fans are hoping they can keep the lead in the standings.
