June l9-Aumni at Paris.
A glance at the above schedule reveals
the fact that no dates have been ar-
ranged between Paris High and Norway
High for the coming season, and ct the
present time It looks a II there was
small chance Of the two schools meeting
on the diamond this year.
This will be matter of regret to oil
lovers of base ball in this vicinity, for the
Paris High-Norway High games have
always been the most interesting OF any
games on the schedules OF the two
teams. While Paris has succeeded In
winning from Norway continually for
the past four years, most Of the games
have been hard fought and Of intense In.
terest, extra innings having been neces-
sary to decide some of the contests.
There is every reason to believe the two
teams will be just Is evenly matched the
present season. Neither will have the
strength of last years combinations, %
both schools have lost several OF their
best men. Paris has lost It's pitcher,
catcher, short stop, third basemsn and
two of its best hitting outflelders, and
no school can lose players from such i'm
portant positions without being greatly
weakened. In fact, Norway's chances Of
winning from Paris this season are better
than they have been for some years.
As We understand the situation IL 10
this. During the past winter an associ.
alton has been formed among some of
the high schools of the state and Norway
High has become member Of the ass0-
citation. The object Of the association 10
to put the schools under certain rules
and regulations In regard to the eligibil-
ity OF students to compete In athletics.
Among other rules is one that permits
no athlete to compete in high school
athletics for more than four years. And
al We understand it, schools which join
the association are not supposed to play
schools that are not members Of the a.
ISOLATION.
Paris High has refused to join the as
ISOLATION and there Is no chance Of her
doing 30 for the present season ut least.
Those in charge of athletics at this
school frankly state that to join the as
ISOLATION would make It necessary for
them to bar Edwards from this seasons
base ball team. They have no intention
Of barring Edwards from any Of the
games. It is admitted that he has al
ready played four years, but be 10 not q
post graduate who has attended school
for few weeks this spring just for the
sake of playing base ball. He graduated
last June. When school opened last
September he entered as postgraduate
and has attended regularly throughout
the year.
It is the contention of Paris High that
In playing Edwards they are doing moth
ing but what practically every high
school In the state has done In the past
few years. In last years Paris High
Norway High game, Norway used one
who was representing the
school on the diamond for the sixth year.
Paris made no protest and felt that the
of the Norway team was mat
ter that lay In the hands of tho school
authorities of that town, and they were
willing that Norway should play such
men as they considered 1t proper to play.
Paris therefore feels perfectly justified
In allowing Edwards to represent the
school this year. he Is clean ball
player and one that Is help to the team
In many ways. There ia no question but
what he will be needed this season and
there Is no question but what he will
play. Schools that do not wish to com.
pete against Paris under that condition,
are of course free to remove themselves
from Paris schedule.
Norway's position 10 that having Joined
the association she must live up to the
rules and therefore cannot play Paris
unless Paris also becomes Q member Of
the association and removes Edwards
from the team. Paris, on the other
hand, will not join the association, and
has never led Norway to believe that she
would join it.
Thus it can be seen that the chances
for game this year are very small, as
each school stands firmly by the decision
It has made.
