ATHENS, GA.. May 9.—Hdaman's
Yellow Jackets triumphed over Georgia
here this afternoon by a score of 4 to 3.
The result was a complete surprise, as
the fans here expected the Red and
Black to roll up. a big score against
Tech. The visitors played a dashing
game, fielding and batting like cham
pions. The infield and outfield work of
the visitors was the best seen here In
year 8.
"Speedy” Eubanks was the star of
the game, iieismun's twlrler pitched
great ball and held the home boys help
less in the majority of innings His
speed and control was remarkable.
On the other hand, Corley was hit
timely by Tech. They bunched hits off
him in the first and fourth innings,
which gave them an early lead to work
on.
The Yellow Jockets took the lead In
the first Inning by pounding out two
runs. The Red and Black squad man
aged to push one run over the plate
in their half.
Eubanks and Corley tightened up in
the second and third inning and neither
earn scored. The fielding on both sides
was sharp and snappy.
Tech came strong in the fourth, push
ing two runs over the plate:
Corley held Helsman's men In the fifth
and the Tech batters failed to score.
Eubanks continued to prove a nuzzle
to the Red and Black batters and they
went out without registering a run. Eu
banks showed great speed in
nlng
Neither team tallied in the sixth, due
to some fast fielding by both 9UIA6. Both
pitchers showed signs of weakening, but
fast fielding kept the acore down.
Georgia fell on Eubanks strong In the
seventh pushing two runs over the plate.
Tech failed to score in its half and the
score stood 4 to 3, favor of the Yellow
Jackets.
Eubanks twirled great ball In the
eighth and ninth innings, blanking the
Red and Black players in both sessions.

SOLVE PHAGAN GASE
Solicitor Dorsey Says He Has Se
cured Powerful Aid in Search for
Slayer of Girl-—Woman Says She
Heard Screams in Pencil Factory.
Shelby Smith, chairman of the Fulton commission, declared
Friday afternoon 1 hat the board would back Solicitor Dorsey in any
and all expense he might incur in the state’s exhaustive investiga
tion into the Phagan murder mystery. Smith said:
" We have instructed Dorsey to obtain the best possible detec
tive skill for his probe and he would be hacked by 1he cotiny com
mission to the last ditch in the money he spent.
‘‘The fact the he hired a good detective Friday is news to me,
but be has the sanction and backing of the board in the matter.”
HIRES BEST DETECTIVE, HE SAYS.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey said Friday afternoon that
he had the best detective in America working on the mystery of the
Mary Phagan strangling.
Important developments had ensued already, he declared, and
he was confident that an early solution of the ease would be reached
by the new expert of national reputation who had been placed at
work on the clews.
The solicitor is understood to have the affidavit of a woman
who swears that she heard a girl's screams as she was passing the
factory at 4:30 o’clock the afternoon of the tragedy. The cries
were shrill and pierciug, she says, and died away as she stopped
an instant to listen.
OF TIFF BILL
Received From House and Re
ferred—Hearings Are Secret.
Expect Vote in Nine Week*-
WASHINGTON, May 9. S^ua'.uf
Bols Penrose. Republican, began the
senate fight on the Underwood tariff
bill n» soon as it was Introduced to
day in the senate. Senator Sijnrnon-*,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee moved that the bill be referred
to his committee for consideration.
Penrose immediately offered a raoU > 1
to amend Senator Simmons’ motion
to provide for public hearings on the
bill before the finance committee.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, pre
dicted that the bill would bring about
the same condition* that existed 20
years ago and asserted that the ef
forts of a 'political doctrinaire” re
ferring to Secretary of Comment
Redfleld, could not prevent factories
from cutting wages or closing their
doors
In the Finance Committee the
schedule was assigned to sub-com
mittee No. J, composed of Senators
Stone, Thomas, James and Simmons,
and th£ wool schedule to No. 2—
Senators Williams. Shively, Gore and
Simmons. The remaining schedules
were divided equally between sub
committees 1, 2 and 3.
Hearings on the bill will be behind
closed doors, the Democrats having
decided that public hearings w r ould
consume too much time. It is ex
pected that three weeks will be used
by the comml.'tee in considering the
measures, and six weeks more in de
bate on the floor.
It also is considered certain that
a number of changes will be made in
the measure, necessitating its refer
ence to the conference of the House
and Senate members.
On the final test in the House last
night the vote was 281 to 139, five
Democrats voting against the bill and
two Republicans voting for it. Four
Progressives supported the bid and
fourteen opposed it, while one Inde
pendent Progressive joined with the
majority.
The woman was sure they
came from inside the factory, but
she gave little attention to her
startling experience until she
read of the strangling of Mary
Phagan. Then it occurred to her
that she very likely had heard
the dying cries of the little girl
and she reported the matter to
the authorities.
Solicitor Dorsey, as his first action
after the holding of Leo M. Frank and
Newt Lee to the Grand Jury for the
murder of Mary Phagan, put out the
dragnet for witnesses.
A batch of aubpenas were Issued
for the witnesses to appear in his of
fice to give testimony in the case of
‘The State v«. John Doe.”
After a long conference with De
tectives Starnes and Campbell, Solici
tor Dorsey asserted that action on
the part of the Grand Jury might bo
expected any time after Friday. He
plainly Intimated that a special ses
sion of the jury might be convened
Saturday to consider the Phagan
murder.
The Solicitor declared as he left the
court hout»e with a private detective
whose name he refused to divulge
that he anticipated the development
of startling evidence before night,
which, he said, would clear matters
materially.
Dorsey Questions Newt Lee.
With the private detective the So
licitor vent to the Tower and was
closeted with Newt Lee, the night
watchman, for more than an hour.
The form of the subpena is taken
to mean that many of the witnesses
will submit their sworn testimony
before the Solicitor General, who will
thus have it in documentary form, in
stead of going before the Grand Jury
to give oral testimony. However, it
will be necessary for the material or
indicting witnesses to go before the
Grand Jurors in person.
“The investigation has just be
gun.” said Chief of Detectives Lan-
ford Friday, in discussing the action
of the* Coroner’s Jury. "We were
confident we had presented suffici
ent evidence to warrant the holding
of the two suspects in the case, but
we will have much more when the
caae gets into the courts.
Have Strong Theory Already.
“We are going to continue nght on
with the investigation and try to dig
down to the full truth of the mys
tery. We have a strongly supported
theory as to who committed the
crime, but we are ready at any time
to change our opinions as aoon as
the evidence points in another direc
tion.
“Tt will be possible, with the rueh
and hurry of the Coroners jurjt
