STRANGE THINGS
HIT THE DODGERS

happen in Brooklyn. But who would
have dared predict a year ago that
a 17-year-old would be the regular
shortstop and a 43-yea~~-old would
share the catching duties for the
Dodgers?
Yet that is the situation today,
as Manager Leo Durocher let 1t
be known that Tommy Brown, who
won't be 10 until December 6, is
the only infielder sure of his berth
while the wizened weather-beaten
Clyd Sukeforth will do plenty of
catching this season."
Brownie is my shortstop, make
no mistake about that" He said.
The kid has natural ability and has
improved greatly. With the added
confidence of big league competi-
ton, Tommy should become one of
the standouts of the game
This is Browns second year in
organized baseball. After playing
three years in tn e Brooklyn
Kiwanis league, he was plucked by
the Dodgers and sent to their New
port News farm where he batted
297 in 81 games and led the Pied
mont league in triples. He was
called up in August and in 81 games
batted a meagre .164.
Sukeforth entered the majors in
1926, more than a yea, before Tom
my was born, serving as second
stringer to Bubbles Hargrave of the
Cincinnati Reds. An eye injury re-
ceived in a hunting accident in the
winter of 1881 fastened the end of
his career and resulted in his be-
ing traded to Brooklyn the follow
ing year
With AL Lopez handling most of
