RAIL TRAFFIC CONTESTED
HERE nv MAIN LINE WRECK

Traffic on the main line of the Sea-
board Air Line railroad was 'conges+
ed for several hours in the vicinity of
the passenger station in the forenoon
hours today because trains could not
get pv the scene cf the wreck at
Youngsvile of a fast passenger train
in the carly morning hours.
The southbound through train. due
here around O'clock. was held up
here urtil II o'clock, when the small
engine that operates OH the Durham
Henderson branch line could return
from Durham to divert it over the
branch line to Durham, then by the
Southern Railway to Icaleigh, to con-
tinuc on it's run south. The same en-
CINE brought in another fast north
bound passenger train, diverted over
the same route from Raleigh, this one
arriving here just before II o'clock.
The main line at the scene Of the
wreck was cleared this afternoon so
that afternoon trains got through with
only slight delay.

train, which passes Henderson at ITO

limits at Youngsville. P. P. Shepherd,
the engineer and Dave Evans, the
fireman, both of Raleigh, were badly
injured, and were taken to Rex hos
pital in Raleigh, where the extent OF
their injuries had not been determin-
ed in the forenoon. The passenger en-
CINE was partially demolished. Dead
head passenger cars next to the
locomotive were derailed and partially
overturned, but all cars to the rear
in which passengers were riding re-
manned on the track. A baggage man
and a Pullman porter on the passen-
ger train were also reported injured,
not seriously.
The freight locomotive was not
badly damaged. 1t was one of the new
est type, the large $500 engines. First
information was that it had not en-
tirely cleared the main line, which
caused the passenger engine to side
swipe it.

HY HENRY McIEMORE

NEW YORK, March l6. up
Lovers of burlesque and the Brook
lyn Dodgers were gratified to learn
by dispatches from Clearwater, Fla,
today that Manager Burleigh
Grimes has engaged Percy Beard,
former worlds hurdling champion,
to instruct the Dodgers in base
running.
This was good Heas because it
dispelled. once and for all, that
Grimes meant it when, on taking
charge of the Dodgers this year, he
said he would leave whimsy to
Milne, comedy to Cantor, the wierd
TO Rohmer. ana operate the team
with the strict efficiency of
lorgnette factory, The fact that
he has engaged a hurdling coach
to teach base running is proof posi-
tive that Burleigh was only talk
ing through his whiskerS, and that
the Dodgers will come forth to
meet the enemy next month as
daffy as ever
At the same time, one is forced
to admit that q few sound lessons
in hurdling is likely to improve the
Dodgers skill in running the bases.
Hurdlers, as you know, must learn
to leap obstacles, and Brooklyn
players are constantly faced by OBJ
stacles when on the base paths
Their obstacles usually take the
form OF other Brooklyn players
who, not accustomed to being on
base, lose their heads.
The Dodgers could have used a
little hurdling on that memorable
afternoon in 1926 when, with the
bases loaded and but one out, Babe
Herman doubled into double play.
Herman ran right on by Chick
Fewster, who was on first, and
slid into third just as Dazzy Vance,

who had been on second, also slid
into it. Had he known hurdling
Herman could have neatly "scis-
sored" over the Dazzler and headed
for home.
Beard, the training camp dispatch
said, also would instruct the out
fielderS how to hurdle after fly
balls. The Dispatch didn't say just
how much he will teach them, SO I
suppose it's safe to assume that he
will instruct them in the art from
beginning to end. The first thing
of course will be course in how
to come out of the starting pits.
This conjures up the charming
picture of the Brooklyn outfielders
crouched in their starting holes,
waiting for ball to be hit in their
direction. I wonder if Manager
Grimes, from his seat on the bench,
will fire a pistol when a ball is
hit as signal for his outfielders to
get going? I doubt if he will be
allowed to Garry a pistol, however,
as the temptation to use it on him
self sometime during the season
might prove irresistible.
The sight of a Brooklyn out
fielder (preferablY a bearded one)
hurdling after a long fly to deep
center should be delightful. There
will be no actual hurdles in CENTER
field, of course, but habit will force
him to hurdle just the same. From
the grandstand the effect will not
be unlike that of a Texas jack
rabbit tearing across the open plain.
If the outfielder should reach the
ball just as he is in the midst of a
hurdle" many things may result.
For perfect hurdling form does not
lend itself to catching baseballs.
AS a hurdler takes a barrier his
foreWard leg should be thrown out
parallel TO the ground, with just
the slightest bend in it, and the
ether leg should be parallel to the
hurdle. And the head and shoulder:
should be held low. with the arms
stretched forward after the mannel
of father greeting a prodigal son
My guess is that the Brooklyn
outfield will be laid up, EN- masse
with fractured skulls before the frs
western trip begins.
