Virgil GarVin, better known as Ma
yasota Ned. the Texas Demon had
tho greatest assortment OF curves Of
any pitcher that ever pitched, and
some that never were duplicated.
His most puzzllng ball was n fast in
drop which Tim Donohue always
ylwed broke both wals before IT
came up to the plate. First Il curry
ed slightly outward. then broke back
and dropped suddenly, and when II
was delivered close in to the batter
II was practically unhlttable. Gar
win pitched that curve with his hand
straight over his head with the wrist
turned until the back OF his hand
was toward the plate. with the index
finger of his hand Tapped over the
next finger. and he let the ball go
OF the first joint of the index finger
rubbing slightly on the third finger
as It went.
The antics that the ball performed
/ in the air were remarkable. even
when the curve was going right, but
when wind was blowing or when
the ball was "wingy' it would make
the most astounding shoots that ev
er worried a catcher.
one day in Broo%lyn Gavin was
pitching and pitching we'll, and ap

was having all sorts Of trouble, drop

Donohue was sitting on the bench
cackling with laughter at KITS trou
bles. Finally in the fourth inning
pitched ball jammed one OF Kits fin
gers and he retired.
Tim, still chuckling, paced up t.
his position and signaled Garvin 10
his snake" curve. The first one HI
pitched took n sudden shoot, tippe'
the end OF Tins mitt, and rappe'
him on the knee cap. Kit simpl
howled during all the rest OF tn
game.
That night Kit, Tim and Garyi
discussed It. They vowed that III

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-05-18
WOULD FORM GOOD Gov
EMINENT IN NEW MEXICO.

The Pennington Times Hustler
would have the people of New Mexico
get together and form a strong good
government league and thus go after
the grafters and other rascals of the
territory. 1t also suggests that Gov
ernor Hagerman head the league. 1t
says:
Recent events in New Mexico have
demonstrated the necessity for the or
| g~anization of a Good Government
movement in this territory. The re-
moval of Governor Hagerman has
shown what organization will do by
a body that is dead wrong, when well
organized. If h president had been
aware of h overwhelming sentiment
which was behind the governor. it is
certain that he would never nave ask
ed for his resignation. The president
did not realize the feeling until the
spontaneous expressions of the people
began to III in Upon him and he had
then committed himself in a way that
he could not back out of gracefully.
If an organization had existed which
would nave been as active il sustain
ing the governor in all his good work
as the machine has beer in opposing
it, there would have been no change.
1t is stated that in receiving the del
SS"CAOA - I1ADb4"SA 4'S w. 'O@AN
to Washington to protest to the pres
ident, he assured them that the ap-
poi1tment of Curry was personal and
that ne owed his appointment to no
faction Oh set of men in New Mexico.
In case that the new governor will go
into Office free to carry out those pol
icies that he and the president deems
best. If he should decide to carry
out the policy of good government,
economically administered, which Ha-
german started in to do, he win meet
with bitter opposition, In that case
the Good Government league could
be of great assistance to him. If he
casts MS lot with the old crowd. then
the people should have IN orgaliZa-
ton through which their wishes can
be effectively expressed.
This organization should be terri
torial il its extent, with local organi-
cations in every county. 1t should
be strictly non-partisan and used Only
to promote and protect good govern
ment. It should be Offered by strong
