MISSING GIRL is FOUND.
Four Boys in Her Company Arrested
In Solomon.
From Tuesdays Daily ]

Another mysterious disappearance
was partially cleared up today when
four young men and Florence Van
Doren, the missing 16-year-old girl,
/ were detained in Solomon.
The officers had received a report
from Tescott, Kansas, that a young
lady answering her description had
spent the night there and that four
young men we're with her. The
party had left Tescott when the re-
port reached here and a look out
was set for them all along the line,
finally getting them when they step
ped from the afternoon U. P. plug
at Solomon.
The principal young man in the
case is Emerald Monday, who, ac-
cording to the fragmentary report
which has reached here, claims that
they ran away from Abilene with
the intention of getting married but
that a lack of funds prevnted them
from doing so. The others Of the
party are three boys who are en-
gagged in running a novelty stand at
street fairs and we're in Abilene dur
ing the log rolling.
The story as told by Monday is
that he and Miss Van Doren left
here Sunday night and drove to En-
terprise, from there they went to
Salina and on to Tescott, from Tes-
colt they came back to salina and
through to Solomon this afternoon.
He claims that they we're to be mar
ried as soon as he could get enough
money. Just where the other three
boys came in has not been explained
in the meagre reports obtainable.
Sheriff Young and Frank Van Dor
en-. father Of the girl. went to Solo
mon with warrants for the boys this
afternoon and all Of them will be
brought to Abilene for further in

Waterbury Club
 Gets Hoover Back
Purchases Last Years Third
 Baseman From Altoona Team

Waterbury, May 23-President Carl G. Pace of the local club announced yesterday afternoon that he had pur- chased outright the services of Clifton c. Hoover from the Altoona club of the Trf-State league, and that the for mer third baseman will be here to- day. President Pace did not give out the price paid for Hoover.
 Pace has been using the wires be- tween here and Altoona for several days, but 1t was not until yesterday afternoon that he received definite word, although he had expectations a day or two ago of securing the ser vices of the player. Altoona has an- other third baseman that is going well and cannot afford to carry two, inas- much as the salary limit of the Fri State is the same as in the Connecti- cut, so that club decided to let Hoover come back here, which was entirely agreeable to Cooney.

PITCHING NO BUSINESS
 FOR CONROY Former Zoe Brass Finger Jared Severely by McCann's
 Men
(BY WaQner.l

Pitching Is no business for young MT. Conroy, formerly of Torr1ngton but now of Northampton. He should be a box fighter like Leachie Cross. What punishment he can take! Gene McCann's troupe took a running jump at Signor Conroy yesterday and rat tied him for Il hits. That rising young player, Hi Ladd. had two dou- bles and a single and Benny Kauf, the favorite son of Pomeroy, O., knicked in with two triples and a single.
 -Ivor Swanson was selected to go the route but he felt so sorry for Herr Conroy that he couldn't bear to let the Larks stay in the rear. Every time Bridgeport forged ahead Ivor politely let Northampton tie the score. In the fifth with the score 4 to f.. Boss McCann sent Freddy Gibbs to the slab. The stocky hurler allowed but one bif during the rest of the pastime and famed four.
 The Larks looked pretty good out side of the box. Jimmy Burns soak ed a homer to left in the third and was awarded a burst of enthusiasm and five pounds of smoking tobacco. The Lark outfield looks like a branch and Big Bill Luby weigh in at 500 on the hoof. Foran is built on the lines of a regular fellow. The visit ors got only six hits and of these Burns and FOran gathered two eacn.
 Northampton scored one in the first on pass to Gardella, Burns hit and Yale's out. The Mechanics came back by getting two.\ Eley was hit by a pitched ball and Litschi sacri- fled. Tom Crook went out by the in- field route but Hi Ladd cracked out a double, scoring Hey. Benny Kauff belted a triple to deep left and Ladd registered. A base on balls was giv- en to Newton in the second and fourth and he got around each time. Jimmy Burns homer came in the third with nobody on.
 Bridgeport tied things up by col lecting two in the third. Crook walk ed and Ladd singled. Kauff famed. Stoves swat tallied Ladd. Then the delayed steal was tried and Hi came home. Bridgeport sewed up the game in the fifth by getting a pair on a pass to Ladd. Kauff's three bag ger to the Bull Durham sign and Stowe's out. In the seventh Hi Ladd started with a two sacker and Kauff dropped a single in right. Stowe walked, filling the paths Jimmy Hall hoisted a sacrifice fly to right on which Ladd counted. Harvey Rus sell soaked one to left on which Kauff scored. The score:

(By Wagner.) On the greensward at Newfield, yes. terday, Big Bill Luby, the statuesque manager of the Northampton barn stormers, qualified for the Hearty Laugh stakes by flaming four times and nluffing a fly. The followins song and dance is dedicated to Big Bill. It is a parody on "Who Are You With Tonight" that popular song which is the one best bet in every body's parlor Sunday night. Let's have a chord in G, please: / How do you feel tonight tonight, How do you feel tonight? When you were flaming Folks were banning

 A we'll known fan said that Big Bill Luby ought to play few games In the Turkish Bath league until he re- duces that embonpoint foreign lan- guages.)
 Freddy Gibbs had a peculiar record in the fifth. He famed Burns, pass ed Bill Yale and Steamer Flanagan, and whiffed Luby. Harvey Russell nailed Yale stealing second so no harm was done.
 Ivon Swanson couldn't keep the ball away from the Larks. They reached him when a hit was needed.
 Brldgeport's fielding was very smooth. The only error was Crook S low throw to Gibbs who covered the bag on Foran's grounder. Tom could have remained on first and let Stowe get the ball, but he didn't see Bob.
 Jimmy Hall played a good fielding game and was there with sacrifice fly in the seventh.
 Lou Litschi made a fine stop of Gardella's hot grounder in the third It was a good thing he got rid of Gus, for Jimmy Burns came through with a homer. The ball went to deep left. He might have been nailed at the plate if Halls relay throw had been a little more accurate.
 Still, the season is young and Bos- ton Doves may win few more games.
 Reulbach has at last made his an- nual arrival" It almost scares Chance when he thinks how close he came to letting big Ed go.
 The Washington Senators shook off their sloth and cracked out eighteen hits, every one single, in the bury ing of Detroit.
 Mcbride. with five singles out of five times up, and Murray. with a single. two doubles and a triple out of four times to the plate, were the big binglers of the day.
