BOY SCOUT DAY
 IN THE GATE CITY

Yesterday was Boy Scout day in Mesa. The Scouts of the Y. M C. A. of Phoenix were over in force and to- gether with the khaki-clad youngsters of the home town, gave the streets the ar pearance of an invading army, save that the boys were sunless and smiling. The invading hosts marched over from Phoenix, and were met bv Rattiesnakc palrOl Cf the Mesa scouts oa wneels. about five miles out. The Buffalo pa trol met the visitors three miles out and the Wolf, Eagle and Beaver patrols met them. two miles from Mesa. All marched in together. The exception to the hikers was the ball team of the Phoenix Scouts. Realizing that they had q hard job before them, the team came over on a truck and arriving here engaged the team of the Gem City Scouts in a game resulting in score of F to in favor of Mesa. Following the game the boys went to the Ameri- can Kitchen and demolished an incredi- ble amount of food. The banquet was followed by indoor games at the armOry. These lasted until S:30. The Y. M. C. A. Scouts camped out last night and a number of the home scouts enjoyed the nights outing with them. Following breakfast at the restau- rant this morning the Phoenix lads will start on their hike home.
