Griffmen Have Narrow
Escape in Train Wreck
Express Is Thirty Minutes
Late, and This Saves a
Big Mix-up.
JOHNSON HURLS TODAY
BY WILLIAM PEET.

ST. Louis, June 5.-These are bestirring
times for Grifiith's young Nationals. for
with the Feds in New York trying to
kidnap Walter Johnson. the Southwestern
Express, which carried the ball players
into the Mound City tonight, nearly ran
into a derailed freight car early this
morning and fatal accident was averted
principally because the train was thirty
minutes behind on its schedule
Danger signals caused the engineer of
the express to halt his train at a point
thirty miles east of Terre Haute, Ind,
where a freight on the eastbound train
lay partly across the track.
The derailed car had simply collapsed
from old age and it required nearly an
hours hard work by a wrecking crew to
clear away the debris.
Had the express been on time this train
and the oncoming freight would have
met about the minute the dilapidated
freighter blew up and nothing in the
world could have prevented the express
from landing into the ditch and most of
the cars from turning turtle Just where
the athletes and newspaper men would
have gotten off, would be hard to say.
Figure it out yourself.
The engineer in the express told the
writer that never in his life had he been
so close to death before.
The story telegraphed all over the
country to the effect that Walter John
son had been offered 100000. for three
years pitching in the Federal League,
is not denied by the great pitcher him
self neither does he deny that he and
Griff had a long conference over the
matter.
Further than that the great pitcher re-
fuses to CO. but his roommate and close
personal friend, Clyde Milan, made the
following statement to the writer this
morning:
IF the Federal League manages to
survive the present season, and obli-
cations are met Just look for a lot of
ball players who are not under three or
fve-year contracts jump where the big
money is.
Some of the clubs in the American
League will be hard hit. but not the Ma
tionals I'll bet 800 right now that the
Federals will not get a single player on
Grifrs pay roll. l expect to room with
Walter johnson again next season.
! Walter is not going to jump the Wash
ington club
tired dusty, and hungry band Of
| athletics filed through the lobby of the
| Planters Hotel about o'clock tonight
and by 10 o'clock every mothers son OF
them was in bed. The weather is about
as hot here as 1t was the day the Ma
tionals left the Capital on the present
| trip.
Weather indications for tomorrow are
not favorable as storm warnings are
| hoisted and rain is expected. Povidins
| a game is possible Walter johnson will
| pitch. and Eddie Ainsmith may be be-
hind the bat, as the youngster has
| begged Griffith to put him to work.
The Browns do not arrive from Chi
| cago until tomorrow morning, but local
/ baseball writers are picking Roy Mitchell,
the slowball artist, to oppose the Grifr-
men.
Douglas Nef, the University of Vir-
ginia shortstop. is expected in ST. Louis
tomorrow.
