A Hard Luck Guy.

TN 1919 Chick Fewster was re-
garded as certain to become
- a Second Eddie Collins" To-
day, in 1924, he is merely a util-
ity infielder thrown in for good
measure in a deal between Bos-
ton and Cleveland.
Fewster is the American
Leagues real hard luck guy. The
Yankees were playing an exhibit
ton series with Brooklyn in 1920
and Fewster was attracting wide
attention by his brilliancy in a
New York uniform. The teams
played a game in Jacksonville
and that day saw Fewster's grim
fate settle down upon him.
Big jeff Pfeffer was pitching
for Brooklyn and was unusually
wild. He let loose a fast ball
and Fewster stepped into 1t, TAX
ing that terrific shoot on the
head. He has never been the
same player since, though he has
fought hard against his fate.
For weeks Fewster's life was
in danger, but finally he left the
hospital carrying In his skull a
silver plate. He will carry it to
his grave.
Fewster has never been a good
batsman since that day IN jack
sonville. He has been an Giraffe
fielder. He has never been able
to play for long-continued periods.
The Yankees shunted him to Bos-
ton, and now he goes to Cleve-
land. Who can say where ho will
go next? Or how soon?
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-01-14

From Cleveland's viewpoint,
George Burns is the big pivot in
the deal with the Boston Red
SOx. The Indians needed first
baseman badly. They also need
ed a hard hitter from the right
side of the plate. Burns fills all
requirements.
Little AL Walters, the catcher,
and Chick Fewster, utility in
fielder, were included in the trade,
but who will say that either re-
mains long with the Indians?
Walters had one great year
with the Yankees, leading many
an expert to predict great things
for him. He was active as a cat,
handled his pitchers well and had
a good throwing arm. His hit
ting was a bit light, but was sup
posed to improve.
In some strange manner Wal
tiers never did improve. He ap-
peared stationary in development
and created no stir when he was
shifted to Boston. Van Picinich
and big De Vormer outshadowed
him last year. He has been
merely an extra catcher and can
hardly expect to be more as long
as he Is with Cleveland.
