Neither echo hotel detectives and others

But the next morning detectives Of the
Burns Agency took up the search. They
looked at the fire-escape And they looked
in the window of Suite 46. There, was

FOUR HOME RUNS
IN SUNDAY CONTEST
New York and Pittsburgh Divided the
Circuit Clouts in Memorable
Contest.

New York, May 23.-Extra inning
contests were fought in three of the
six major league games played yester-
day. The victors were the Chicago Ma
tionals and the Philadelphia and New
York Americans.
Chicago played fsultless game, but
a home run and several other hits tied
the score for Brooklyn in the ninth.
The Cubs Tailed twice in the twelfth to
win by to 4. The Philadelphia Ath-
letics took advantage of an error by
second bssehsn Young of Detroit, who
dropped pop fly in the tenth and
scored five runs and won by 0 to s.,
when the Tigers were able TO score only
twice in their half Carl Mays Of the
Yankees came to the rescue when st.
Louis batted Shawkey out of the box
and not only held the Browns in check
but bstted in the deciding tally in the
tenth inning.
-Four home runs featured the first
contest Of a series in which the New
York Nationals had hopes of overtak-
ing the Pittsburgh leaders. Each team
batted out two circuit clouts and this
contest also might have gone into ex-
ira innings had not the Giants defense
gone TO pieces in the ninth inning.

Norwich Wins intercollegiate Indoor
Championship.

The Norwich university rifle team
for the second consecutive season has
won the intercollegiate indoor cham
pionship. In 1920 the team won over
Syracuse university by margin OF 80
noints. This year the Norwich team
won over George Washington univer-
sity, Washington, D. c., with grand
stand finish by ten points.
In until the sixth match the shoot
ing was but average and left plenty of
room for improvement. At this stage
of the match Norwich was in the sec
ond place.
The shooting this year can be termed
as sensational because at the end OF
the sixth match the George Washing
ton team wasevidently safely in first
place, with a lead of 90 points. Real
izing that few points could be gained
on the prone shooting, Captain Tough
lin started the team on intensive work
with the off hand shooting As result
the seventh match turned out to be the
high point of the year and score OF
462 was sent in, an enormous improve
ment over the first off-hand score,
which was 427. This relieved the
George Washington team IA points OF
their lead.
Continuing the good work and max
ing the match safe for Norwich ASS
was sent in for the ninth match.
George Washington went down for the
count and Norwich had l7-point lead,
As they made possible on the 10th
match, that cut the lead seven points
but when the aggregates were made
Norwich had total of 4.69l, while
George Washington had 1851 giving a
comfortable margin for the champion
ship team.
Despite the fact that Norwich won
but one of the weekly matches and
placed only four men in the 90 per
cent class--the results would show
that Norwich was a close runnerup and
il was team work that brought the
university through. As 90 the individ.
ual work of the men of the team, Mar
tin was high man with an average OF
94.2; Loughlin second with o27; Har.
rington third with OIL; Tyler fourth
with OILS, and Kerr fifth with 500

aggregate while Anderson and Har.
