"Harry Ables probably displayed the widest curve ever seen in the circuit. Practically every ball that Jumbo threw was a hook. It was a delight to sit back of the plate and watch the broad bends of his delivery. Skilled batters would flop to escape what seemed to be a certain beaning, only to see the pill swerve and cut the heart out of the oyster. Others would step athwart the plate, chasing a wide one." - Sports Writer Harry A. Williams in The Salt Lake Telegram (1915 September 19. Heaver Must Have 'Hop' on His Fast One: Days of Curve Ball Pitcher Are Thing of Past; Only Smoke Gets By. Page 37.)
