Now that AL Benton is gone, the
Detroit Tigers are open for NOM

pitcher, and little Hal White,
who faces the Chicago White
Sox today in the opener of
four game series, can hardly be
foremost on the list.
White dropped tough ninth
inning decision TO Cleveland in
his first start and got nothing
out of five-hit job for ten
innings against the Indians last
Saturday, but the loudest claim
is voiced today by southpaw Hal
NeWhouser.
NewhOuser, who is hard to
beat when he has control, lost
