HENDRIX TEAM WINS
 OVER 0UACHITA, S-l
LOCAL COL LE EGIANS S. FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON IS
 AN EASY VICTORY.

Hendrix Colleges first baseball game of the season yesterday after noon resulted in an easy victory over their old-time foes, Ouachita College, the score being to l.
 Bush made his debut in the box for Hendrix and twirled a beautiful game, holding the hard-hitting Arka- delphians to three safeties, one of which resulted only because the rules give hit to the batter when a run her is hit by batted ball. All of the Hendrix youngsters showed well, Young playing perfect game at first and making four hits, one a triple. Clark made a spectacular one handed catch of Courson's long drive to left, doubling, Muse going to third, Savage of the visitors also made a pretty catch in left, robbing Clark of an apparently sure hit.
 An error, base on balls, a single, double steal and Stevenson's home run, gave Hendrix three scores in the first inning and the game was never afterwards in doubt. Score by inn ings:

FRAUENTHALS MAY
 BE LOST ON SHIP
RELATIVES OF LOCAL MEN
I. G. AND DR. HENRY FRAUEN- THAI AND BRIDE WERE ON
 ILL-FATED TITANIC.

Two cousins of the Frauenthal fam | fly in Conway were on board the ill., fated steamer Titanic, which struck an iceberg off the New Foundland coast and was sunk Monday morning. They were Dr. Henry Frauenthal and his brother, 1. G. Frauenthal, the for mer being accompanied by his bride. Whether either of them was saved is as yet unknown, as the news by wire less telegraph from the scene of the terrible disaster is as yet very meager.
 Two thousand one hundred people were on board the mammoth liner, which was making her maiden voyage across the Atlantic Of this number about 1900 were passengers and about 800 belonged to the crew. The ship struck the iceberg shortly be- fore midnight Sunday and sank into water two miles deep about four hours later Before sinking wireless messages were sent from the stricken vessel and answered by several other ships, all of which hastened in the di- rction of the disaster. The Carpathia was the first to reach the Titanic's po- sition, arriving about daybreak. This ship reported by wireless as follows:
 "Carpathia reached Titanic position at daybreak. Found boats and wreck age only. Titanic sang about 220 a. m. in 41:16 N., SOFA w. All her boats accounted for, containing about 675 souls saved, crew and passengers included. Nearly all saved are women and children. Leyland liner Californ- ian remained and searching exact po- sition of disaster. Loss likely total 1 300 souls"
 It is believed here that this is an error-unless the Titanic had more passengers on board than reported. The list as given out showed 1,310 passengers and crew of 860, or g. | TO persons in all Deducting 675, the unknown saved, would indicate a loss of 1,495 persons.
 Dr. Henry Frauenthal, whose fate is as yet unknown, is a cousin of As sociate Justice Sam Frauenthal, Jo, Henry and Charles Frauenthal of this city. He is also personal friend of Dr. George s. Brown, who has met him frequently on his trips to New York Dr. Frauenthal is widely known in the medical world. He is chairman of the executive committee and sur geon-in-chief of the Hospital for De formities and Joint Diseases, large New York City institution Dr. Frau enthal was married only about three weeks ago at Nice, France, and was on his return voyage. He was accom- panied by his brother, I. G. Frauen- thai, an attorney of New York City. The members of the family are anx- iously awaiting further advices from the disaster and still have hopes that their relatives may be among those rescued.

Conner of Little Rock, president of the Ar kansas league of Roosevelt clubs. The exact time and length of the stay of the distinguished visitor will be an- nounced later.
 As this will be the first time a man who has been president of the United States has ever stopped in Conway, it goes without saying that large crowd will be present to greet Col. Roosevelt here.
