The Texarkana base ball tossers
put up a good game at Fort Smith
Yesterday, the game showing a
marked Improvement over the
game played the day before, still 1t
is not satisfactory by any means
but the best our boys can do and
we must grin and bear it.
Yesterdays game resulted in
the defeat Of our boys, the score
standing 8 to 8 in favor Of the In
dans, At Little Rock the Senators
defeated the lnyalids by score Of
II to II.
1t is an evident fact that Little
Rock and Ft. Smith have gathered
together some strong ball players,
and it is not in our ameteur club or
