already signed up with other clubs, in

will be, but at least, with McMurdo

they put into practice the same tactics

HAYDEN, Ariz., April 6.-This aft
ernoon at 5 o'clock is to be played the
first baseball game of the season at
Hayden, between the Hayden Millers
and the baseball team of the University
of Arizona. The University team will
motor over from Tucson, playing one
game here today and another game at
Ray tomorrow.
We feel bit sorry for the U. of a.
boys, as it is feared that our team,
still smarting from the Cubs fiasco,
will pour the walls of their wrath upon
these defenseless youths, and simply
"eat them up" Unfortunately, this
item will have to go to press before
the box score can be secured, and our
readers are respectfully referred to the
next issue of the Copper Camp for the
same, as well as for a startling and
sensational description of the game
Our lineup will be the same as
previously described, with the excep-
ton that Kane will probably play in
the outfield. Our outfielders will thus
be Kane, Mclean and Stadelli A rec
ord breaking attendance is hardly
looked for but we trust we will have

add up the score. Big Hearted Doctor

markable game at first The M D.

the national pastime and was as clever
as one of Ringing Brothers elephants.

the doctor.
On second was young Joe Rivers who
also played short until they came too
fast. For Joe switched to cushion No.

Doc Goodman pitched and played

working well, only three home runs
being scored off said ball. Goodman

errors. John will not go to the New

him to vote against a declaration of

: JOIN ARIZONA
INFANTRY, /" SAYS
GOV. CAMPBELL

PHOENIX, Ariz April 6-Governor
Campbell today appealed to citizens of
Arizona to join the First Arizona in
fantry rather than to wait for the
formation of volunteer organizations.
which it is doubtful, he declared, would
be accepted for many months Prob
ability that the Arizona regiment will
be in active service long before other
guard organizations by reason of the
length of time the regiment has been
in the federal service was also pointed
out.
Arizona is called upon to furnish
one full regiment of infantry for the
service of the United States" said
Governor Campbell. '"This means num-
ically 1900 men for full war strength
and 900 men for reserve.
Our state pride in our regiment,
the 1st Arizona infantry can be best
exhibited by our willingness to serve
with the men already enlisted under
opinion of the officers and men theIn-
selves. 1t is, therefore, the plain duty
of able bodied citizens of Arizona be-
tween the ages of IS and As to furnish
the necessary quota to the First Regi-
ment of Arizona infantry and this must
be done before any volunteer organiza-
tions can be formed.
"A great deal of effort is being put
forward to ensure enlistments for vol
unteer regiments to be recruited by
patriotic citizens who wish to fight
for their country, but it should be
borne in mind that patriotic citizens
who have fully considered the welfare
of their country first must lay aside
the personal wish Of ieadership and
see to it first that the militia is not
allowed to become a by-word by their
inaction.
Il must say that 1 was greateiy
pleased with the Arizona regiment
which is in splendid condition both
physically and as to training. The late
Major General Funston made the
statement publicly only short time
ago that this regiment was equal to
the best in the militia arm of the Unit
ed States service.
IF any regiment sees active service
it is very probable that Arizona will be
the first called upon as it has been
the longest in federal service of any
regiment in the militia of the coun-
try. In any event this regiment will
not always be kept on border duty but
should certainly be assigned to import
ant duty elsewhere. 1t cannot be en-
phasized too much that until the first
regiment has it's full quota, Arizona
shall not have met her obligations"
Provided sufficient enlistments are
made voluntarily, the governor will
probably not order the enrolment re-
quired by the civil code of Arizona. He
feels that the citizens of this state will
respond to the call freely as they are
already responding in other western
states

RAYITES CHARGED
With ROOTLEGGING


Fat Barham Carl Rogers and Del
Schiel were arrested for bootlegging
Thursday afternoon and taken to Flor
ence and placed under $3.50 bonds each,
but while awaiting placing of amount
of bond Rogers escaped and an excit-
ing chase is now on for him. At nine
o'clock that night an auto was stolen
from Casa Grande, and it is thought
Rogers made his getaway in that way
and is now headed for the border.
Charles MacMillen and his clerk, G..
E. Richardson, were arrested at the
same time on several counts of selling
Jamaica ginger and Marathon tonic.
McMillen plead guilty to all charges,
and upon assumption of all blame he
was fined $3.50 and given two-year
suspended sentence, Richardson was
then released.
