STILL CROWDS PLATE
Bean Ball Victim Thinks Fate
Protects Him When Batting
BY DEAN SNYDER

Chick Fewster, star Yankee IN
fielder. who was hit by a bean ball
last year. is crowding the plate as
much as ever this spring.
"In never be beaned again says
Fewster.
Fate doesn't permit such acci-
dents to happen twice.
ITS true l crowd the plate.
1T take a crouched position at bat
so that my head is directly over the
plate.
"a pitched ball aimed directly at
my head would usually be a strike.
'I duck the busters and let 'em
shoot past my head.
"The good ones I nail"
Fans have speculated much on
Fewster's case.
Last spring at Jacksonville, Fla
Fewster was beaned by JEFF Pfeffer.
Brooklyn pitcher.
His skull was fractured. For hours
he lay unconscious. His life was
despaired Of.
For weeks he could not talk.
- NAEAE VI ohA AAA Aht1N N+AN ----N
a dollar was removed.
Fewster is now a normal person.
He wears his cap well down on
the side of his head. Just inside the
cap is a steel plate which protects
the spot where the portion Of skull
was taken away.
"Tve no recollection Of ever Sec
ing Pfeffer wind up to throw the
ball that hit me-" says Fewster.
"He had just slipped a fast one
by me.
II was just thinking to myself that
this fellow has something and that
I'd better watch him. Then every
thing got black"
The first time Fewster faced Pfef-
fer this spring he lined out a three
base hit.
BY coincidence. Fewster again
batted against Pfeffer on the ami
versary Of the day Of the accident.
He got three hits
