WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.~-The task
of signing Sir Walter Johnson, the
famed finger of the local American
league team, will be up to Manager
Griffith after October. 1918. But the
Job will not be big one. in the opin-
ion Of those who know Griffith and
johnson. In other words. Johnson
isn't expected to pull Ty Cobb when
it comes time to sign his contract for
1914.
Right now Johnson Is serving the
last stanza of his three-year contract
with the Senator's He signed the doc
ument at the beginning OF the 1911
season, after a misunderstanding with
James r. McAleer, .then manager or
the capital crew.
johnson is drawing 1000 for three
wears work He signed that contract
fter he lac reported to the training
camp, returned to his Coffeyville,
Kansas, home and then rejoined the
team in the East after the season had
opened.
Johnson's value to the Washington
club il generally rated more than Ty
Cobbs usefulness to the Detroit team.
But johnson will hardy draw down
sl2,50e. the salary Tyrus is alleged
to be receiving from the Tigers this
season.
May Draw $10.oAo.
1t wouldn't ne surprising if Johnson
Is slipped a contract calling for 10000
salary for 1914, or one for $4,000 for
service during the next three years.
Sir Matter is worth almost any price
he asks But he's Of different dis
position than T. Raymond Cobb, and
for that reason will probably serve at
lower figure than the Peach draws,
1t is Johnson's disposition as well
as his wonderful speed and curves that

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Lyin.
on a cot in the Naval Academy Hos

plane which resulted in the death

TO tumble a quarter of a mile dowr
ward and live to tell the story.
Billingsley and Towers had
tanned an altitude of 1926 feet
trying out a hydroplane. They hu
reached a spot about ten miles dow
Chesapeake Bay when a sudden gus
of wind jerked the airship and thre-
Billingsley over the steering gear. Ar
other jerk threw him from the m
chine. He shot downward in the w
tiers of the bay.
Held Fast to Machine.
Towers was thrown from his sea.
but held desperately to one of thJ
uprights. over and over the machine
turned, but his grip never loosened.
As the hydroplane struck the water
he was thrown free of the wreckage
and rose rapidly to the surface. He
was rescued by parties in a motor
boat
"Oh, it was horrible to see poor
Billy shooting downward" he moan
ed I'VE were sailing nicely when a
sudden gust of wind threw him out
of his seat, while another jerk sent
him completely away from it. There
was no chance to help him, it all hap
pened so quickly. The only thing
that saved me was the fact that / had
tight grip on one of the uprights,
and when the plane jerked l locked
my grip.
1--WE shot downward at a terrific
rate, but poor Billy was topping over
and over and going downward even
faster than we were. 1t made me sick
to see him and know that he was
going to his death, and l almost lost
my grip. Before we had gone half the
distance to the water, the ship turned
completely over and braced itself for
q moment, only to shoot downward
at greater pace. All l remember
of striking the water was a terrific
crash, of finding myself struggling to
get to the surface. 1t seemed a year
before l shot out above the surface.
and the gasp of breath l took seemed
as if it would tear me to pieces.

Towers was ashen after his terrify-
ing experience. All indications are
that he is but slightly injured ply
sically, but it probably will be sew
eral days before his mental faculties
resume their normal state. He is the
son Of Mrs. Mary N. Towers, 10 Sew

the academy at Annapolis in 1902 In
1911 he was assigned to the aviation
corps. He has taken part in many
notable aviation meets. Billingsley
