R. H. Tuttle Goes To Zion Mill
R. H. TUTTLE
We don’t know whether to be glad
or sorry for while everyone in the or
ganization regrets to see Dick Tuttle
leave the Tri-Cities, we are glad that
he has been promoted.
It is hard to recall a more popular,
universally liked man than R. H. Tut
tle, who has been connected with the
Manufacturing Division for many
years, both in the mills and offices. As
Superintendent of the Karastan Rug
Mills, Dick was tops; as Personnel
Director and Director of Industrial
and Public Relations he was tops, and
as a man and a gentleman he is, and
will always be, tops.
Dick was, on August 28th, made
Manager of the Zion Mill, succeeding
Lee R. Fleming, who resigned. Our
Zion Mill is famous for its fine lace
curtains.
The best of luck, Dick. Few men
I have made as many an& as intimate
friends in the Tri-Cities as you have
and every one • of them will see you
leave with regret, but rejoice in your
promotion.

Tri-City Cubs Are
Holding Their Own
As this is written (Wednesday) the
Cubs are holding on to fourth place
and a spot in the play-offs next week
by the skin of their teeth. We are just
one-half game ahead of Burlington, in
fifth place, with five more games to
go. The outcome of those five games
will decide definitely whether Leaks-
ville will be one of the four teams to
participate in the play-offs or not.
The chances are excellent that we
will be in the post series. In the last
few games the boys have played head-
up baseball, taking advantage of every
miscue by opposing teams, running
bases daringly, and in at least two of
the last four games this daring base
running has so upset the opponents
that we were able to win those two
games.
We’ve always been strong for taking
chances in the base paths. When' a
person realizes that mighty few ball
players can throw accurately, and
most players are even less accurate
when they are forced to hurry the
throw, it would seem that the chance
for stealing bases is better than even.
Anyway, our Cubs have certainly been
taking long chances on the base paths,
and getting away with it!
We hope to give you the results of
the play-offs next time and that the
Cubs are right in it.
Speaking of baseball, we remem
ber a certain ball player who was fond
of pranks. One day his right hand was
hurt and he had to wear a bandage about
the hand and wrist, but the fingers were
free. In those days men “bummed” cig
arettes just for the heck of it, and our
ball player conceived what he thought
was a brilliant idea. Since he couldn’t
use his right hand much he bought a
small mouse trap, set it and placed it
carefully in his right hand coat pocket.
The idea was that when someone asked
for a cigarette he’d let them reach in
his pocket themselves—and get caught.
Well, to make a long story short, nobody
seemed to want a cigarette, and after a
while this fellow forgot the mouse trap—
and put his hand in his own pocket.!
Don’t ask names, please.
