TIGERS LACK
STICK POWER
;
Despite their five-star pitching <
staff, the Detroit 7:jcrs seem to I
be lacking enougn hitting wer
and t.cki.rg be capable
to give titr.er New \\ rk oi^J}
ton a good race for the Amcr.can
league flag. Although they fini
shed second in 1947. they may not
be powerful! enough to beat out
Cleveland cr Ph.ladelphia for a
first division berth this summer.
One of the best pitching staffs
in the majors is dres>ed out in
Tiger uniform and includes Hal
Newhouser, one of the finest
southpaws in the bu.?ine>s, Dizzy
Trout, an oldt:mer with plenty
of zip who is due for a good year,
Virgil Trucks, the firebalier, and
Freddie Hutchinson and Art
Houtteman, two capable hurlers.
Two kid southpaws, Ted Gray
and Bill Pierce, are up Irom Buf
falo and ready to go. Stubby Over
mire is still around to do >pot duty
and the veteran A1 Benton and
Hal White will be in the bullpen.
Both Trout and Trucks are in top
shape and eager to make up for
their poor showing la>t year.
The big question seems to be
who is going to get the runs to
frack up the pitching? Little power
has been added to the lineup.
Manager Steve O'Neill plans to
use George Vico, a .307 hitter from
Portland, at first to replace Roy
Cullenbine who is new with the
Phillies. Eddie Mayo is staging a
good comeback at second and
George Kell is at third.
Shortstop remains a problem.
Eddie Lake, a .211 hitter last year,
reported late and found two young
sters, Neil Berry and Johnny Li
pon, alternating at short.
Bob Swift and Hal Wagner will
split the catching chores.

MEAD PREPARES TO PROCESS BLACK LIQUOR
The above picture shows several of the large steel tanks recently installed at The Mead Corporation plant
here for the purpose of evaporating the black liquor as it comes from the digesters in the pulp mill in an effort
to reclaim much of the waste now flowing into the Tuckaseigee river. A commercial use has been developed
for this material. This process, however, will not take all the waste material from the river nor will it elimi
nate the colorJn the water.
President Sidney Ferguson, of New York, is shown viewing the structure while on a recent visit to Sylva,

right probably will get the nod for1
starting duty in the outfield. Wake
field is in no way up to his 1944
form and Evers is a hard luck
player who is always plagued with
injuries. Wertz gained his job by
hitting .288 for the Tigers in 102
games last year. Doc Cramer, Ed
die Mierkowicz and Pat Mullin
will be the reserve outfielders with
Jimmy Outlaw filling in at third
and in the outfield.
BRIEFS-IN DETAIL
(By Bobby Terr?ll)
Jim Gudger's Catamount mound
staff seems to be doing fine. Al
though they have lost three "of five
starts, each pitcher has gone the
route with no one needed for bull
pen chores thus far. With a bit of
tighter fielding which may de
velop, the Cats would be hard to
bei\t.
Billy DeMars, Asheville's 1947
shortstop, is sticking with the
Philadelphia A's as a utility in
fielder . . . Walter Johnson nevef
pitched a world series game until
1924 when he was 37 years old . . .
The Detroit Tigers is the only
major league club that has never
finished in last place in the sea
son's standings.
With Bill Bevens out of action
indefinitely with arm trouble, Man
ager Bucky Harris of the New
York Yankees needs another start
ing pitcher. Vic Raschi seems to
be the leading candidate for the
assignment.
Prices for 1948 crop peanuts
will be supported by the Commod

ENJOYS LIFE MORE NOW;
GRATEFUL FOR RETOKGA
"I Didn't Feel Like Doing
A Day's Work," says Mr. V.
R. Cox. Suffered From Acid
Indigestion; Felt Weaken
ed and Run-Down. Says
Retonga Brought Relief.
When a man gets as much pleas
ure out of life &s Mr. V. R. Cox,
RFD No. 7, Greensboro, N. C., he
doesn't want sour stomach, rest
lessness, and other distresses to
upset things. Mr. Cox does light
truck farming and also trades in
livestock. He gratefully states:
"I was afraid to eat any more'
than I just had to, because after
meals excess gas in my stomach
made me feel bloated and miser
able and at times particles of un
digested food would ccme back up
in my throat, and I slent so poorly
I'd get up feeling like I hadn't been
to bed. I had to use strong pur
gatives to relieve my sluggish1
bowels, and every muscle in my
body seemed to ache.
"The relief Retonga brought me
was wonderful and nothing less.
I can now enjoy a square meal
such as my wife really knows how
to prepare. I sleep soundly, get
up rested and ready for a full day's
work. My constipation and those
muscular aches and pains have
been relieved. I am grateful for
the splendid relief Retona gave
me, making it possible to carry on
my work and to enjoy life in every
way."
Retonga is intended to relieve
distress due to insufficient flow of
digestive juices in the stomach,
loss of appetite, borderline Vitamin
B-l deficiency, and constipation.
The activc ingredients of Retonga
are purely herbal, combined with
Vitamin P-l. You can get Retonga
at Sylva Pharmacy.?'Adv.
