PITCHING
Of Nsrrick OF Nigh School
Team Nest Sensational
Allowed But 5 Hits In 3
Games And Struck Out ~

Ray Norrick. the sensational pitcher
of the local high school. Is rapidly
advancing In ability and should he
continue to improve during the next
two years, should be a candidate in
one Of the major league training
camps. His work is attracting rath.
er widespread attention and is a
marked Improvement over his last
years showing. Last season he had a
great deal OF speed and very poor con.
troll. This season he has more speed
and almost perfect control. In the
game with Newark Friday afternoon
he gave one base on balls. but that
was the result OF slight mistake In
judgment. Catcher Tommy Van voor.
his was probably more to blame for
that than was the youthful hurler.
In twenty-five consecutive innings,
all that have been played by the local
high school team this season. Norrick
has allowed Ave hits. Kenyon College
secured three, Danville one and New.
ark one. A remarkable record.
His strike-out record is phenome-
nal. Fifteen men struck out in the
Kenyon game. In the Danville game
eighteen men famed and in the sew.
en- inning game with Newark Friday
he struck out fourteen batsmen. This
gives him total OF forty seven strike
outs In twenty-five innings pitched.
No wonder Mt. Vernon High school
wins base ball games.
Referring to the FIVE hits allowed
by Norrick in 25 innings. it might be
well to state that three of those hits
were made after the team had had
an opportunity to retire the opposing
side. The youngster lacks none of
the qualities being sought for By the
big league managers in their proteges.
He has control. he Is always steady
and collected. he is of fine physique
and is strong. He is eighteen years
of age and weighs about 1S5 pounds.

TO sETTle REWARD
IN DUNBAR CASE


Opelousas, La, May 3-Just what
reward or token Of esteem will be CIV
en- to Deputy Sheriff Charles Day, Of
Columbia, Mss, who found Robert
Dunbar. the kidnapped child. will be
settled at final meeting of the busi-
ness men of Opelousas on Monday.
When the Dunbar boy was stolen
from his home on August 20 of last
year the business men raised $4,000
reward to be paid to the person re-
turning the boy to his parents. The
first OF April the offer of reward was
withdrawn and the money returned to
the donors, because It was believed
there was no longer any chance that
the child would be found. As 1t has
been found impossible to re-subscribe
the entire $4,000. the meeting Monday
will decide whether Deputy Sheriff
Day Is to be given such portion OF the
money as will be returned to the fund
or whether he will be presented with
an automobile or some other substan-
tial present.

In the game with Newark high school

The Newark lads strove hard to win

Of Mt. Vernon. :.
It was q pitchers battle from the

Norrick was better, however, and had

Amount Of Work Necessary
For 4 Production
OF The Magnitude Of The
May Festival TO Be Given
In This City
(sy II. W. sowdsn)


Do the people of Mount Vernon
really comprehend the extent of the
work and sacrifice which is necessary
to make such production as the May
Festival possible?
Rshearsals have continued during
practically the entire winter and for
large part Of that time, 1875 loyal
earnest members OF the chorus have
gone twice week to practice.
The musical director, Mr.. Coup, has
devoted three evenings to the work
due to the fact that the ladies prac.
tice on one evening, the gentlemen on
another, and the combined chorus re-
hearse Gounod's Redemption on the
third. Since there was three volumes
Of music to memorlze the necessity OF
these extensive rehearsals is plain.
ly apparent.
This verftable army of musicians
have asked for not penny of recon-.
pense and have devoted their time
and energy to the work, happy in the
plaudits Of the public and the warm,
hearty appreciation manifested on ev.
cry side.
That they have deserved 1t all no
one will deny. The soloists of the
Messiah concert were unanimous in
their praise saying that 1t was one
Of the strongest choruses that they
had ever encountered. Mrs. Parnell
stated that she had approached the
evening Of the concert without any
very sanguine expectations for she
had sung with amateurs before. After
It was all over however, she warmly
said, well take of my hat to that
chorus"
Mr. Coup. of course. deserves the
lions share Of the credit and the com.
munity ought to be proud Of him az
q civic asset, for few places have
available director of his extensive
musical training. intelligence and
education. Some strangers who were
In the audience at the Messiah con.
cert took II for granted that he was
a professional director imported ex.
pressly from one Of the large cities
for the occasion, and were extremely
credulous when informed to the con-
trary.
In view Of the extensive work and
preparations necessary to this produc.
ton, the directors of the Festival AS
sociation feel that the charge of one
dollar for the entire course is ridicu-
lousy low, especially when the noted
soloists and artists who will also take
part are considered.
In fact the price was made with the
expectation of merely paying expenses
and you will therefore be getting a
treat of fine music at just exactly
what 1t costs. The Festival Associa-
ton is not an organization for profit.
II. however. you were compelled to
pay for all the labor expended on the
May Festival tickets would be many
times the price asked. At the grand
opera appearance Of Tetrazzini in Col.
umbus last Wednesday the entire low.
er floor was sold for six dollars seat
for each performance. The difference
laying mostly In the fact that. in Col.
umDus the labor invoved in the train
ing and education Of the singers was
paid for at the box Office, while in the
May Festival you pay only for the ar.
lists engaged. This actual total cost
however. is considerable amounting
close ON to $1,000 when the price Of
the music and everything Is taken In.
