BOY SCOUT CAMP-O-RALL OPENS HERE TODAY

The hurler above was the starting pitcher in last Sunday’s game
which the Mules won 7-6. Mouton in 5 innings of mound work 'gave
up 4 hits, walked 1 and struckout 5. He will be on hand to give aid
if needed in the game against Cananea. —Staff Photo.
SCU to Play Cananea
The SCU 1922 Mules will journey Sunday, April 22, to
Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, where they will meet the strong
baseball team of that city. This will be the second game of the
season for the Mules and the first game on the road. Last Sun
day they defeated Section “C” of Davis-Monthan Army Air
Field. (See story on sports page.)
For this trip, the transportation for members of the base
ball squad will leave the Special Services building at 7:30 a.m.
Persons desiring to witness this game in Cananea must fur
nish their own transportation. As we went to press, no official
information concerning a convoy to Cananea had teen dis
closed.
Last year on July 4, the Mules defeated Cananea at Brock
Field by a score of 9-1. Cooper, the hurler, allowed the op
ponents 3 hits and walked only one man during nine innings of
hurling, while SCU piled up I 1 singles. Homers by Culpepper
and Brown aided greatly in the smashing victory.
In the two meetings of these two squads, the Mules won one
and lost one. The game was lost in Cananea. ,
In Sunday’s game, the Mules will face their first real com
petition and the victory will be earned, if they should win.
Cananea has always had the type of teams that never concede
a victory until the last man is out and is capable of pulling the
game out of the fire as long as the play is continued.
Evans or Scales will get the nod as the starter against Cana
nea.
