Text | The folly of facing swift pitching behind the bat without the protection of a mask was again illustrated recently in Philadelphia. Fred Pfeffer, who has filled positions in the Philadelphia and Athletic Clubs,met with a painful accident while playing behind the bat in a game between the Royer's Ford and Collegeville nines. While his nine (the Collegeville) were in the field he was struck between the eyes by a foul tip and fell senseless to the ground. He remained in an unconscious condition for some time, and an examination disclosed that his nose had been broken, and that he had sustained an ugly contused wound on the forehead. |
