WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-Evi-
dence gathered by Lieutenant John H.
Towers, naval attache to the American
embassy at London was forwarded to
the state department today by Ambas
sador Page, indicates that the Ameri-
can steamship Nebraskan was torpe-
doed, and did not strike a floating
mine, as was thought possible in GER
tain circles Lieut.. Towers made a
technical examination of the hull OF
the Nebraskan on the ships arrival
at Liverpool after being damaged, and
the conclusion that the Nebraskan was
torpedoed is based partially unon in
formation secured during this exam
inaton.
Captain Greene and members of the
crew of the Nebraskan have given af-
fidavits concerning features of the at
tack On the American ship, and the
chief engineer of the damaged vessel
asserts positively a submarine torpe-
doed the Nebraskan. He swears he
observed a submarine in the vicinity
shortly before the attack, and is GER
tain this submarine is responsible for
the outrage. He was unable to dis
tinguish the nationality of the war
ship.
No Chance to Declare Nationality.
The Nebraskan when attacked had
hauled down the stars and stripes, it
being after sundown, states Captain
Greene, but words "Nabraskan, New
York." were painted in letters six
feet high across the ships hull on
both port and starboard sides, and
there was small excuse for any mis-
take being made regarding the vessels
nationality. The ships officers state
no opportunity was given the vessel
to establish its nationality, the at
tack beng wholly warning. The first
intimation of danger was when water
began rushing into the hull of the
Nebraskan, and Immediately the crew
took the boats.
Lieut.. Towers report, which is a
voluminous document, has been for
warded through diplomatic mail to
the state department, and is expected
to reach here early next week, when
it's text will be made public. The
foregoing summary of the report was
given out simultaneously here and at
London this afternoon. Full details
of the attack, together with detailed
description of damage wrought upon
the hull of the Nebraskan is contain
ed in the report, and its receipt is
anxously awaited in Official circles.

TEMPE TAKES
 FINAL GAME
Southsidc Champions of the State Successfully Main tain Title Against Coy otes; Lyall's Error Kills Phoenix Chances
BY THE CUE

In spite of the fact that the team was weakened b ythe loss of three of Ter best players. Tempe High School defeated the Coyote team of the Phoenix High School and carried off undisputed the title of the champions of the Salt River valley yesterday morning sa the Indian school grounds. The game WAS one of the cleanest and hardest fought that the schools of the valley have played this seq - son. as 1t ranks second only to the Coyote-GIendaIe game on the same grounds a few weeks before. The victorious side was not assured Of their victory until the very last out of the last half of the ninth inning.
 The game started out close and would have resulted in a victory for the home boys if several of the play CTS had taken their time and thrown in reach of the basemen. The Tempe boys started the ball rolling in the second inning when they sent Johnny Moeur around the bases for the first run. In the fourth. Goldberg ot Phoenix scored thus tying the score. In the fifth inning the Coyotes sent I.yaH around the sacks for another run TOT PHCellA, IIlcfeDN LthIHS tHe icAt. But this lead was not lonS-lived, as in the sixth inning, with two men on bases. LAall overthrow first and let two men in. Before the inning vas up the Tempe boys had the score 4-2. In the eighth inning Walters got up to bat and knocked a fly just over first, and while the right fieder and first were hunting for il in the Jungles. managed to make q home run. In the ninth, Tempe scored two runs. one being made on an overthrow Dv Westfall to third.
 The final score was 6-3 in favor of Tempe as Phoenix failed 10 score in

THE INDIAN GAME

All on a cool. raw sort of an after
 noon. the lea guers went out to the Indian school to break in their new suitS-thOse handsome white confec- tions that they are to- wear while at i home during the coming season It might have been the fact that they disliked scuffinG the clothes all up, 1 but | was more probably by reason i of their ardent Lnaffection for the ! cold rolled Indian school grounds that
 they stopped making runs in the sey- enth inning and packed away their bats in the new bag. Anyway. the game was cut short at the end of the first half of the seventh with the casualty list as follows: McCreery-"Arm's a-pullin" Wling-'Wrenched muh knee slid ing"
 Nutt-"Four tips on my ole thumb" McArdle-'Bust my hip against the
 infield."
 Demaggio-"Took out section of bob-wire fence.

HALF MILE SPEEDWAY
 TO TEST DODGE CARS
Soidly Constructed Banked Track Will Be Unique Addition to Testing Equipment at Big Detroit
 Plant

Decidedly unique in design and con- StructiOn is the new half-mile speed way and test hill which is nearing completion on the grounds of Dodge Brothers. the big Detroit motor car manufacturers. Built to take care of testing operations on the rapidly in creasing daily production of cars, Dodge Brothers new test track has all the permanence of the speedway built for hippOdrome performances.
 When finished within the next thirty days, over 215.O0Q feet of lum- Der will have gone into the con Struction of the new track. The speedway is built on a foundation of clay and cinders. banked at the turns to allow high speed tests, and is sur faced with fine grade of pine plank ing which has been creosoted to af- ford dustless and smooth track. As Dodge Brothers production is rapidly approaching the 200-car per day mark, the new speedway bids fair to have a daily entry list for sur passing that of tht Indianapolis Speedway on Memorial Day
 The construction of the test-hill in the center of the speedway enclosure is a striking example of bringing the mountain to NIahomet. As practically au the country in the vicinity of De- troit is d flat plain, the special ad- vantages of hill-testing are denied to motor car makers. Dodge Brothers very sensibly decided to provide an artificial hill, and a steel structure 542 feet long and % feet wide is 9l- ready under way. The steep hill has two approaches with varying grades, alolwing testers to try out the climb ing ability of the car on gradual and steer, accents

 Where is the "Tonto dam? Is there such q thing? The answers to these queries are: CD Quien Sabe? and @ No
 As for "Dammers' why not get real profane while we're about it. G. Forbes Barrett says he doesn't think a whole lot of the Phoenix club in it's present impractical state. but that it is the out-cussinest aggregatf of ball players that ever donned nice new white uniforms

But whatever might have been John Nuts previous condition of servitude, he is getting rid Of some of that peplessness. He actu- ally hollered to McCreery to get 'em right down that ole alley yesterday.
 Hester says that whether the eastern teams are ready or not. Phoenix VIII open as scheduled at Tucson day aff>r tomorrow. There is one thing about Hes.-he's a law unto his own self when it comes to making folks do what he wants done. Otherwise he would still be working for a salary. he says.
