From a Special Corresporden.

BOGALCSA, La, March 15.-The
members Of the Brooklyn team risked
their lives coming here from their
training camp in New Orleans this
morning. The players were forced to
leave the train and walk trestle over
the Bogue Chitto River, nine miles
from this town. A mis-step while cross
ing the bridge meant drop into the
rushing water several feet below. Ed
Honey carried an infant across the
span.
After crossing the trestle the players
boarded a waiting train and arrived
here about three hours late The
thriller was made possible by recent
rains in the northern section Of the
state which caused a wash-out.
In the afternoon the St. Louis
Browns furnished the excitement. Thev

and in doing so collected twentv-one
hits. lne winners made eleven hits off

Ban Johnson Sees
Calamity if Scandal
Cases Go Unpunished

CHICAGO, March Is. RESPONSE
~ bility for delay in the trial of
the indicted players and others in
the baseball scandal was thrown
upon the state by President john
son of the American League in a
statement made public to-day. He
declared there would have been no
controversy such as caused the post
ponement of the opening hearing
yesterday until Thursday if the
cases had not been burgled when
they first came up before the grand
jury.
lit would be calamity to organ
lied baseball if these cases resulted
in a fiasco for lack of evidence
Johnson said. because it would
embolden other players to take
chances.
I've have been handicapped by
the change in administration of the
State Attorneys Office and by the
congestion of the criminal court
docket. During the grand jury ex-
animation many important wit
nesses who were summoned we're
excused without testifying.
1t IS entirely within the limits of
proba bihty that the names of sew
eral players who have not been
mentioned in connection with the
cases will be uncovered before we

American League this season.
There is a far better spirit now
than year ago." said Colonel Huston.
Everybody IS hustlng to get in per
feet shape before the opening of the
season. Huggins always maintained
that certain disturbers, who have been
shifted 70 other clubs during the win

looks now as if he had the situation
sized up right.
Those who are looked upon as the
real mainstays OF the team ard who
were IN poor physical condition for The
opening Of 1920 seem 20 have taken a
lesson from last years mistakes.
