:Chick" Fewster, turned adrift by '

pirlting up a. nice brand of ball at
second base for the Brooklyn Dodg-

nelder, ”Chick" has'been getting his
share of the hits. too. Fewster. it
will be recalled, was all but: lost to
the game when hit in the read by

a \\‘nddell’s Feat
Eighteen years ago Rube Weddell
struck out 15 batters in an American
League game. The. is the best
modern day record for whifftng the
opposition.
for he made the record against the
that club to the St. Louis Browns.
Back in 1854. Charley Sweeney, of
Providence. pitChing against Boston.
caused 19 batters to wend back to
the bench via strikeout route.
Walter Johnson and busy Vance
have several times threatened the
modern record of 16 but always
something happened to spoil the big
chance.
I recall one game I umpired for
Johnson in which he got 10 men
in the first five innings. He was go-
ing great and it seemed a certainty
that Waddeli‘s strikeout mark would
be shattered.
Up to the last half of the fifth
neither team had scored. Johnson
was being pressed to the limit. In
that inning his club gave him a four-
run lead and he immediately eased
up. He struck out only two more
batten during the remainder of the
game.
Rena-d In Danger
Of the present day pitchers in the
meter leagues. I am inclined. to
think that "Lefty” Grove of the
Athletics. has a better chance than
any other pitcher to shatter Wad-
dell‘a mark of long standing.
is still in its infancy. Grove has
struck out 11 of the opposition.
The first time was in a game with
the New York Yankees. which he
lost. a-o. Babe Ruth and Co.. scor-
ing all their runs in the last half of
the eighth. lo the 11 strikeouts were
r red in only eight innings of
PM.
The second time the font was per-
formed. the Chicago White Sex was
the team to suffer. In the first three
‘ innings. Grove get at: batters on
strikes. I wandered if Hook's south-‘
paw was in for a record perform-
ance.
During the remainder of the
same I kept close teach or his
work. On an even desen batters who
finally either walked hit safety or
retired Grove had two strikes Be
that 12 other batters aside from the
it who tanned were in imminent
danger. . '
