ARTEsfA GIRLS WIN
FROM ROSWELL TEAM.


The basket bali game Saturday at
ernoon at Amusement Park, be-
tween the girl teams of the Roswell
and Artesda High Schools resulted In
a victory for the visitors, z to A. Ac-
cording to the way many counted b
game, the score was z to 5. However
it was a close, interesting game, re-
CARELESS of the score.
The teams we're evenly matched,
the slight advantage of one or two
Roswell girls in height being balanced
by the unusual agility OF the visitors
The field goals. which count two
points, were equal, each side throwing
two, making the score on field goals
four to four. 1t was by making foula
by stepping over the lines in which
they are allowed to play and similar
errors in play, that the Roswell girls
lost the game, for they did this SO re-
peatedly that Artesfa threw three free
goals safely. Roswell threw one free
goal, but for some technical reason it
was not counted.
For Roswell Sue Odem as guard,
and Evelyn Van Horn, as forward,
played the star game, working hard
all the time n doing effective ser
| vice in securing the ball and throwing
goal. CaIie Lusk played side center,
| Leila Wiley, jumping center, Gertrude
forward, and all did we'll, meriting the
cheering that their loyal friends gave
| from the side lines.
The Artesfa players were Rose We
tfg, Sara Owen, Ruth Brainard, Ruth
Ash, Bertha Speck, Estelle Mauldin
and Pauline Kurykendall. The score
distinguishes each and all of them and
speaks for their playing.
The game was well attended and
the people generally enjoyed it. The
Roswell girls go to Artesia soon for a
| return game.

nor stated h a the president knew no
thing of the appropriation, 80 far as
he was aware, until he was told that
the money would be returned. The
governor stated that Billy Martin pur-
chased tickets out of a portion of the
fund appropriated and that he, the gov
ernor, went to Washington on n OF
the tickets so purchased, but that he
was going to return the amount paid
for it to Mr.. Martin as soo as he
came to Santa Fe. The gov. stated
that Mr.. Klock, of the delegation, sug-
gested that the delegates pay their
own expenses and that the suggestion
of Mr.. Klock was agreed to.
1.-The governor again characterized
the story. concerning the return of The
money, as published in different pa.
pers, among them being the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat, as a deliberate lie
and then went so far as to say that
the editorial in The Eagle, which was
based on these published reports and
! which, up to hat time, had not been
contradicted, was the same. At this
| point the editor of The Eagle told the
governor thai was going too far. Such
an unwarranted remark on the part
of an editor appeared to be too much
for the governor who vas no longer
able to restrain his feelings. He un.
tremendously ordered the editor to
| get out of his Office and never to come
back n more evidently forgetting
that the editor was there at his re
quest and not on account of any desire
to make the gubernatorial office a loaf
ing place or to ask favors at the hands
of the governor. He also added that
he did not want his name to appear
in the Eagle. In order to expedite
the exit Of the editor from the guber.

a portion of the dignity of the Office,

GOVERNOR CURRY GOES
al RA%E

NV
The editor of the Santa Fe Eagle,
A. ]. Loomis, has had a slight expert
ence with our strenuous governor. The
Eagle published certain articles from
eastern newspapers asserting that the
committee sent from Santa Fe to
Washington to work for statehood and
for whose expenses the Legislature ap-
propriated $500. were ordered home
by the president and were ordered to
refund the money expended. Gov.
Curry was included in the bunch.
This aroused the ire Of our strenuous
governor and he denounced these ar
ticles as lies. thus following the pre-
cedent established by the i1lustrious
Roosevelt. The governor sen for the
Eagle man, and then q lively CONVEX
