(BY BILLY EVANS)

What will be the fate OF Fred
Shuttle, outfeld star Of the Milwau-
kee club of the American Associa-
ton, who joins the st. Louis Browns
next spring?
Baseball fans everywhere. the st.
Louis and Milwaukee species in par
ticular, are wondering.
Will he blossom out as an over
night star; will he have to go
through a couple of years Of school
ing before he delivers, or will he
explode with loud bang. as have SO
many other highly-touted stars?
The major league scouts I have
talked with, perhaps dozen, are
agreed that Shuttle is a great player
who will win an immediate berth
in the st. Louis outleld.
So far Shuttle has escaped a lot of
publicity that usually goes with any
player costing in the neighborhood
of 100000. That should help him,
for it will keep the st. Louis fans
from having an exaggerated idea of
his greatness.
A half dozen major league clubs
were angling for Shuttle last sum-
mer but the st. Louis Browns got
him because Of their ability to i'm
mediately deliver players to Mil
waukee, who were much needed at
the time.
In addition to a large wad of cold
h
mighty good ball players to the
Brewers in the person of Shortstop
Bob Lamotte and Pitchers Claude
Jonnard and Charley Robertson.
When spring tra-la arrives and
the players depart for the south to
make ready for the race, no doubt
we will hear much more about the
Great Mr.. Shuttle. A second Ty
Cobb, will be mild way of press
agenting the youngster.
Shuttle is a right-handed batsman
who hit close to 400 last season, in
a league that boasts mighty good
pitching. He is said to be Just as
good an outfielder as Johnny Mostil,
who steps into Speakers shoes, now
that the the brilliant Texan has quit
the game for good. If he is as good
fielder as Mostil, he is made.
Very fast, he is said to be mighty
good baserunner. also.
A jinx has pursued a majority of
the costly recruits who have come
to the majors in recent years.
Shuttle hopes to be an exception to
this rule, and even the most skep-
teal of the scouts believe that he
will.
