Hutchinson Sees Tuttle Grabbing Rookie Honors By JOE FALLS DETROIT (SV-When the Detroit Tigers lirst saw outfielder Bill Tuttle, tneir enthusiasm was only lukewarm. Today it is red hot. Manager Fred Hutchinson of the Tigers boldly proclaims: Who has a better chance for rookie honors? Tuttle does every thing and does It well." Hutchinson is not worried over Tuttle's diminishing batting av erage. After leading the league for the first lew weeks, the 25-year-old centerfielder slipped below the .300 mark. "His average may be dipping, says Hutchinson, "but he's hit ting the ball harder these days. And he's becoming more aggres sive every game. He's one of the lew players on our team who steals bases on his own. The Tigers were not always this high on the Elmwood, 111., speed ste. In fact, he was almost by passed in his first workouts. At the time, Detroit was after a young shortstop named Ted Ka ranski. All eyes followed Kazan ski In the workouts but when sign ing time came, he slipped through the Tigers' fingers. In a midnight meeting. Bob Car penter, president of the Philadel phia Phillies, signed Kazanski for $100,000 a live year agreement at $20,000 per year. The Tigers were miffed. They had been assured they would have last crack at the promising short stop. But they were foiled at mid night. So they looked over the other tryout candidates and signed Tut tle for $10,000. From the start, Tuttle was tabbed as a "good-field, no-hit" player. He made minor league stops at Davenport, Iowa, Williams port (Pa.) and Buffalo, before joining the Tigers. He surprised all but not him self by breaking out with a rash of hits in the first few weeks of the season. i His batting average began to de dine but his fielding remained on the same level sharp, crisp. The former Bradley University football star fits in perfectly with Detroit's ''Youth Movement." The lone drawback is that he doesn't look like a rookie in the field; more like an old seasoned pro. mi n OflO M i w ir Tlir M BILL TUTTLE , . rookie of the year???
