One-Armed Boy
Amazes Coach
With Ability
Sacramento, Calif. ? (AP) ?
Some boys might have quit. But
14-year-old Ken Burdick went to
bat with only ope arm.
Freckle-faced Ken plays right
field for San Juan High School's
junior varsity baseball team and
has a .333 batting average.
He does it all with his left arm.
He lost his right in a ski tow ac
cident six years ago. It was am
putated just below the shoulder.
Coach Len Frizzi was amazed
when Ken, a slender youth, turned
out.
"I didn't know just what to do,"
he recalls, "I realized the boy
had plenty of courage. I figured
he wouldn't make the club, but per
haps could work in as manager."
But Ken began hitting well and
Frizzi found he had "a fine eye."
Of that eye. his coach says: "I'm
not exaggerating when I say he can
judge a pitch at the plate better
than anybody on the JV squad and
as well as any varsity player."
He is a modest boy, Crediting
his brother, Gary, a second base
man on the varsity, for helping
him so much.
"Gary played catch with me and
helped me get into sandlot games,"
he says. "Because of that I was
able to play."
How does he do in the field??
There again, he amazes Coach
Frizzi. He catches the ball, rolla it
into the crook of his elbow and
simultaneously sticks the glove un
der his right armpit.
Then he flips the ball into his
hand and gets it away? all In just
a few seconds.
another in the second on a walk
and two errors, and acored again
in the fourth on a walk, an infield
out and singles by Red Davis and
Mac Pigett.
Lewis Scorn Gasklll
The final tally came in the fifth
as Snoball Gasklll went around to
third on two errors and came in on
J. D. Lewis's single.
The game was halted at the end
at the fifth because of the ?? p.m.
curfew. Gould and Newkirk got
the only hits off Red Davta.
