e
ill two days ago after a head
motor trip from her husban;
mer home at Coffeyville, Kan;.
At firat it was thought that a long
rest would enable her to recover, but
her condition became serious yester
day while her husband was at the
base ball park preparing to lead hi.
second-place Nationals against tbe
league-leading Philadelphia Athletics.
He was called by physicians, and re
mained at tbe hospital until the end
eearly todjy.
A growing mass of flowers at the
Johnson home gave evidence tonight
of the wide sympathy with the man
who as "the liig Train" became
known from one end of the country
to the other. Among them was a
wreath from President and Mrs. Hoo
ver. The game cf the Washington
team with the New York Yankees on
Monday was postponed to permit his
teammates to attend the funeral.
The two were married when he
was at the pinnacle c? his fame, 10
years ago. Mrs. Johnson was 36 years
old and a eiaughter of former Repre
sentative E. E. Roberts of Nevadad.
She became acrjuainted with Walter
Johnson while living at the same
hotel at which the Washington base
ball team stayed, and being an ath
lete herself, they soon became fast
friends. In her high school days she
was captain of the basketball team
which held the Nevada championship
two years.
Surviving are- her husband and five
children. Only th eldest child. Wal
ter, jr., who is 14, was told of her
death, which occurred in the same
hospital in which he was confined
with two broken legs recently.
