Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 28.-UP)-One of the most interesting experiments of the approaching baseball sea- son will be Thomas "Buckshot" Browns attempt to make good as 8 shortstop for the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS. Manager Leo Durocher already has picked him for the job.
 Brown, only IT, is key figure in President Branch Rickey's youth movement-in Rickey's campaign to rebuild the seventh-place Dodgerss for the future, with young talert.
 Like the well known tree that grew in Brooklyn. Brown also Sprouted there. The tall, dark haired youngster not only is na- tive product; but he was one of the borough's red-hot fans--than which there are no hotter. He had been yelling from the centerfield peWs ever since he was able to toddle into Ebbets Field. He has the spirit of the Gowanus.
 Tommy-the-Kid will try to plug an infield gap that has weakened the FlatbuShers since Pee-Wee Reese went into the service after the 1922 season. Since then, the futility of Dodger short-fielders caused Du- rocher no end of mental anguish. Leo-the-Lip, formerly grand shortstop, threatened again and again to take over the job himself He chewed his carefully manicured nails last season while a parade of misfits mishandled the job: Gene Maucin, Eddie Basinski, Bill Hart Pat Ankeman, Ed Stanky, Bobby Bragan and Eddie MiksiS.
 x Early in August, Buckshot Brown was brought in from the Newport News, Va, club, where Tommy then only 16-was having his first ! whirl at organized baseball.
 Hickey and Durocher apparently figured that the brilliant young prospect would do no worse at the Dodger short post than the others had. Moreover, he probably would do no worse in Brooklyn than he 1. had been doing at Newport News.
 Young Brown did good and bad with Newport News. He hit well and : retrieved well afield; but when it s came to throwing runners out at first. it was anybody's guess where , the ball would go. He over-threw so much and so heartily that one night delegation of sailor fans took their seats beyond first base, armed with baseball gloves in self defense !. One of the sailors Wise-cracked that Tommy should be given Navy "E'' for errors.
 : Despite lis over-throWing, Brown was popular performer at Newport News because he was dangerous hitter. Packing 175 pounds on a six-foot-one frame, he could really drive the apple. He hit .297 there, getting 147 total bases in 101 hits. He led the league in triples. More over, he was fast as an antelope sAfleld. His terrific right arm, that earned the 'buckShot" nickname, Combined with his Brooklyn enthu- eiasm to make him overthrow.
 Arriving at Brooklyn, he appeared fin 48 games. He was easy meat for National League pitchers, at first. They struck him out as if his bat had a hole in 1t. Although his aver sage for the 48 games was only .164 in the last two weeks of the season he was banging away at more than e 200 clip.
 Hickey said today, we're giving young Brown the shortstop job. and [ hope he makes good. He's an ex-
