VISITORS TAKE FIRST GAME
Martin Arms Team Win Close
 Contest From Conway.
Henderson's Wildness Tn Second Inning Forced the Only Score of
 the Game.

Although Henderson held the Martin Arms team of Little Rock to two hits in yesterdays game at Hendrix park, the pitcher wild ness in the second inning cost Conway the game. In that in- ming Henderson cracked two visit ors in the head with the bal, al lowed one hit and then forced in a run by passing the next batter. After the side was retired, however, the visitors never agail threatened the plate, and there is no telling how long the game would have gone if the score had not been made, as the locals were unable to hit Whitemore effectively.
 Conway's best chance to score was in the sixth, when Henderson doubled and stole third, but Whit more frightened up and retired the next two batters.
 The same teams are playing this afternoon and the fual game will be pulled off tomorrow.
 The Martin Aims have not lost game this year, but the locals declare they will break their win ming streak.
