Another twelve-month brought
the serious injury of their eldest
son, Walter, jr., the victim OF
an automobile accident, from
which he lay in a hospital for
weeks. with the mother, chin
up. smiling, nobly accepting
another duty to a loved one.
Millions of other mothers, OF
course, would have done the
same thing, and have done It,
time upon time, without the
additional responsibility that
goes with being the wife of a
national figure, a. task in itself,
as any wife of the hundreds OF
national perSonageS will attest
These duties and these honors
Mrs. Johnson bore modestly
and with fortitude that ever
drew the admiration of int1-
mates of the family. Too, she
found time to attend personally
to Walters correspondence and
to make a scrap book OF news
paper clippings and photo
graphs for the children to keep.
Never a letter came to Wal
ter that wasn't answered by
Mrs. Hazel johnson. Never a
souvenir or a gift arrived at the.
home for the Big Train that
wasn't acknowledged in due
time in that feminine handwrit-

While it has been given to
many men to know Walter
johnson intimately through
association with him in his
wide and creditable career as
a baseball man, too few people
knew that he had wife with
qualities as sterling. In Mrs.
Johnson's family sphere she
was as great to those fortunate
enough to glimpse the woman
in her domestic surroundings,
as is her husband; baseball
greatest pitcher and undoubt-
edly most distinguished living
character Of the national
paStime.
And SO. today, not only

baseball world mourns with
this lovable man, the loss of
his nearest and dearest pos

Almost two teams, IL men

Walter johnson during the
course Of yesterdays pastime.
Five pinch hitters-Shires,

First Baseman Joe Kuhel. a

out around first base prior to
game time. he batted for Jack

Eyeing Earnshaw's offerings ex-

OutfieIder Roger Cramer,

At the same time it was an

who was affiliated with the AS
a year ago, has been repurchaSed
by Connie Mack and will join

Waivers were first asked on
Cramer. Several American League

king is dead; long live the king,
was the cry some of the more
jealous admirers of Lou Gehrig
sent up today, and while they
may be little hasty quite q few
monarchs have been known as
King Louis.
Anyway it is high time for En-
peror Ruth to take deep counsel
with himself and launch an at.
tack that will dissipate the re-
bellion that threatens his totter-
ing throne. For Mr.. Gehrig went
out again yesterday and won for
the Yanks against the Red Sox
II to 13 with walk, a. sacrifice,
two doubles and a home run.
The latter was No. SO for Lou.
The great man, Ruth, remained
in his great slump and now Lou
is only two blasts behind the
Babe.

HUNTER
BY MICHAEL FOSTER

SEABRIGHT, N. j., Aug. J..
Big Bill Tilden has announced
his retirement from international
tennis competition once more,
but it Is not to Lott, Van :yn.
Allison or Doeg that America
looked today for a successor to
the seven-time national champion.
It is to Ellsworth Vines, ir.,
OF Pasadena, Calf, 18-year-old
school boy, that America turned
for Davis Cup victories in the
future.
This gangling youth. who a
week ago today was unknown.
is the reigning sensation of the
country's tennis circles. Victor
over Frank Shields and Frank
Hunter at both the Metropolitan
championships and the Sea
Bright tournament. and also over
the veteran Dick Williams. Vines
has jumped to the fore as the
big hope of the United States
in the international series OF
1881.
Before his five-set win oyer
Shields in the MET" semi
finals, Vines was just name

He is favored to win.
The final round Of the women's
singles play is scheduled for TO

THREE CLUBS
PUT IN CLAIM
FORLEFTY
By JOE HOLMAN

and withdrawn on Pitcher Lloyd
Brown of the washington club,
during the past several days was
learned this morning.
When Brown was placed on the
waiver market recently three
American League clubs, New
York, Cleveland and Chicago,
claimed him.
Confronted with this state Of
affairs Clark Griffith hastily
withdrew waivers.
Fl has been learned that
the sOuthpaw singer was to
go to the Kansas City Blues
of the American Association,
in part payment for First
Sacker Joe KuheL
Brown, who has shown plenty
of stuff since joining the Griff-
men in 1928, has created a favor
able impression among the teams
mentioned above.
It is possible that waivers may
again be asked shortly. But,
unless he is let go by gentle
mems agreement, there seems lit
tie likelihood that Lloyd will
{ transfer to a club of minor claSSi-
fication.
Another of the players who fig
ured in the trade for Kuhel, First
Baseman Harley Boss, also had
his troubles getting out Of the big
i time, it is claimed.
The Chicago White Sox, it is
understood, put in a bid for the
youngSter.' But, under baseball
law, it was considered proper that
Boss should revert to the Blues.
Boss is expected to join the
Kansas City club today.
With InfieIders Charley
Gooch ard Harley Boss al
ready in line. it is understood
that thu Washington club
owes the Blues an extra
player or an additional cash
consideration.
Brown, it is said, was to have
been the third player in the trade.
But so far nothing has been done
in this connection.
Gallant Fred Marberry and Sad
Sam Jones, Yankee bugabooS de
luxe, are to occupy the slab to-
morrow when the Washington
and New York clubs get together
for their doubleheader in the
house that Ruth built.
Jones, a longtime Yankee jinx,
will probably open the ceremonies.
Marberry, who will be battling for
his ninth straight verdict. and his
thirteenth of the year, is to hold
down the other end Of the assign
ment.
During the absence of Manager
Walter johnson whose wife passed
away early this morning, Capt.
Joe Judge will be in charge.
The Yankees, now only a game
and half removed from the
Griffmen, will be giving every
thing they've got in their bid for
second place in the American
League compilations
A day of rest, the third en-
jOyed by the Washington club
this week, was in store for
the tOiIing athletes today.
They are to check out for
New York at o'clock this
afternoon.
Dave Harris pinch two-bagger
sent across two Washington tai
lies and paved the way to a
three-run rally in the ninth heat
of yesterdays game with the
Athletics. But the Mackmen,
bracing behind the sturdy relief
work of Bob Grove, won out, 43.
George Earnshaw allowed but
one hit while delivering runless
ball for eight Semesters. Then
three hits, along with damaging
wildnesS, necessitated the inser-
ton of Grove.

WOMAN PARACHUTE.
JUMPER IS KILLED
Making First Leap, Mrs.
Florence Davis Pulls
Cord Too Soon.
ny the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BLOOMINGTON, Ill, May 26.-An
aviator's desperate and futile attempt
to save the life Of a woman parachute
jumper, whose apparatus became
tangled when she made a leap from
an altitude Of 1850 feet, was witnessed
by a crowd of 5000 persons at local
airport yesterday.
The victim was Mrs. Florence Palmer
Davis, 10, of Normal, Ill, who was
making her first try at parachute jump
ing.
Mrs. Davis went aloft in cabin
plane plotted by Art Carnahan. At
2,500 feet she stepped out. But, nerv-
Gus, she pulled the ring Of her release
cord too soon and the tangle Of rope
caught on the service handle of the
tail of the plane. The jerk ripped the
chute across the middle, making 1t
useless.
Carnahan put his plane into steep
dive In an effort to tangle his wing
struts in the chute streaming above the
falling woman. But he could not get
down fast enough.
Mrs. Davis fell in a field adjoining
the airport. She was alive, but uncon-
scious when rescuers arrived. She died
shortly after being taken to hospital.
