Fans have specialized much on
F'ewster's case.
Last spring at Jacksonville, Fla,
Fewster was beaned by jeff PIER

His skull was fractured, For
hours he lay unconscious. His life
was despaired of.
For weeks he could not talk.
A piece of his skull about the
size of a dollar was removed.
Fewster is now a normal person.
Wears Steel Plate
He wears his cap well down on
the side of his head. Just inside
the cap is a steel plate which pro-
tects the spot where the portion of

that fellow has something and that
Id better watch him. Then every
thing got black.
The first time Fewster faced
Pfeffer 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.

"NO pitcher can throw the ball
