Carey (.316) played first base, led the team in average, hit 8 homers and tied for the EL lead with 37 doubles. OF Reddy Grey hit .307 with an EL-leading 12 homers, splitting his year between Buffalo and the Rochester Hustlers. Buck Hooker (12-25) and Doc Amole (11-25) tied for the league lead in losses.
