Harvey Brown, senior baseball pitcher this year for Taylorsville High School, pitched a no-hit game here Thursday.

Harvey baffled Mt. Washington with his fast ball and variations of curves. He didn’t allow a ball to be hit to the outfield in the 8 to 1 victory for Taylorsville. Mt. Washington’s run scored on an error by the second baseman, a stolen base and an error by the first baseman.

Harvey’s no-hitter was not an accident as this was the third game he has held the opposi-tion hitless, going into the last inning this year.

Shoddy team support kept him from getting no-hitters on two other occasions this year.

In his masterpiece against Mt. Washington, he struck out 13 men. High School games go only seven innings, so this in itself is quite an accomplishment.

“We think he is one of the better high school pitchers in the state and many other coaches in this area are of the same conten-tion,” Coach Mullins said.

Harvey is also a tremendous hitter and has hit .450 or better in the two seasons previous to this one. He is also a power hitter.

Harvey is a wonderful boy and follows instructions well. His ambition is to play pro-fessional baseball and we wish him success. A couple of professional teams have already shown interest in him.

The Beta Club of Taylorsville High School held its last meeting of the year Tuesday, May 8th. New officers elected for the coming year are as follows:

President: Allen K. Day; vice president, Charlotte Hobbs; recording secretary, Barbara Ruble; corresponding secretary, Carol Dale Lutz; treasurer, Nanette Snider, and reporter, Judy Carol McClain. The Beta Club reports a very successful year.

Applications for cheese will be taken at the Nutrition Site (Community Center) on May 14 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eligibility for the cheese is based on income and you must be 60 years of age or older.

If you are home-bound (only leave for a visit to the doctor), call 477-6640 and we will process your application by phone.

Note: Darlene will be over the center instead of the office. If anyone needs any addi-tional information, before Friday, call Darlene in the office at 477-8296.

. . . We, the Ruritan Club, are “strapped, cleaned

out, broke.” So come eat fish with us Saturday, May 22 at the Community Center. Maybe the profits will enable us to pay commission stand fee for the county fair, get ready for softball season, pay awards for the seniors, etc.

I note in the old home town paper, the Linton Lodge is charging $4.00 per plate, our price is only $3.00. The horse pullers, who come to our fair, tell us we have the best fish money can buy. Well, it is not only the fish, it is the way they are fried. Come try them, starts at 11 a.m.

City workers are a bit puzzled at why a new water tank built just south of Elk Creek near Hillsborough won’t fill during the night, but engineers remain optimistic. The new tank, which will fill to almost half full, has already increased water pressure in the area, according to Taylorsville Water Superintendent Dan Crowe, but it’s still a mystery as to why the tank doesn’t fill during the night while others tanks on the system do.

Keith Sears, of PEH Engineers of Louisville, told the Taylorsville Commission May 5 that several “variables” still need to be worked out of the system before the problem can be solved but that the system is quite capable of filling the tank. The tanks (there are nine throughout the county) are filled by pumps during night for use during the day.

Harvey Brown, a senior baseball pitcher for Taylorsville High School, pitched a no-hit game in May 1962. The game was against Mt. Washington, against whom he used his fast ball and various curve balls. It was the third game on the season in which he kept the opposing team hitless until the last inning.
