Wedged next to a news article with the headline "RUTH FEATURES AT BAT AS YANKEES OVERWHELM BOSTON RED SOX; 13 TO 4", is a single column report titled "COLLEGE DEFEATS BETHEL IN FIRST ROAD GAME; 5-4". Unbeknownst to anyone putting together that particular edition of The Evansville Courier on April 24, 1924, that would be the first of many games played by the then-Evansville College Pioneers.
The first edition of the team that would go on to be known as the Aces was formed during the early portions of 1924.
