Tragic Spokane Baseball Bus Wreck, Killing Nine, Occurred 10 Years Ago Today in Cascades9 Snoqualmie Pass

It wm a prophetic prologue to
i"bKbaIl'l darkest nlghf which
betn at dusk with the glaring
teadlighu of a black sedan Jutt 10
nan ago Sunday.
i' wilhla minutet of that, chance
remark, the chartered bus lay JJO
feet down the bank, a battered,
fltming trap for a fine profession-:
al team. I
In Northwest snorts, that night
la the Cascade Mountains has be
come storied study of Irony,
luck, great charity and monumen
tal sadness.
Nine players, aa entire team;
were killed. Six others and the
driver' were badly hurt. Two
pitchers and a third baseman just
missed it.
June 24. 1940. bad already been
a long day for those intimately
concerned with the Spokane In
dians of the Class B Western In
ternational League. There had
been a tedious 10-9 victory over
Salem, Ore., the night before, won
in the last inning when Bob James
insled and George Risk came
home from second base. Neither-,
would every play again.
Everyone was up early June 24
to load for the long trip to Brem-'
erton. Wash, and an important se
ries there. I
Driver Glen Berg, 24, helped
load the luggage on the coach and
then checked the .most fateful
seating arrangement in baseball.
Pitchers Hallbourg and George
Lyden. 22. were up front alone.
Then came Mel Cole. 25. the
catcher-manager, and Bob James,
24, right fielder. Behind them,
Jack Lohrke, the sensational third
baseman, and Levi McCormack,
veteran left fielder. Across the
aisle were second baseman Fred
Martinez, 24, and pitcher Bob
Kinnaman. 27.
Behind Lohrke were Vic Picetti.
18, promising first baseman, and
center fielder Bob Peterson, 22.'
Next were shortstop George Risk,
2S, and Chris Hartje, 30. ex-Brook- i
lyn catcher. Infielder Ben Ger- j
aghty and pitcher Dick Powers!
jwere near the back with Irv Kon-
opka, a reserve catcher, and
pitcher Pete Barisoff.
By mid-afternoon. Berg was
well on the way and a telegram
was delivered to Sam Collins, the
one-legged former railroad man
who owned the club. San Diego of
the Pacific Coast League wanted
Lohrke back. He was on 24-hour
recall and Collins gave Dwight
Aden, the business manager, the
job of getting him off that bus.
Aden called the state patrol for
help but the radio transmitter was
out of order. He was ready to let
it go until morning, then decided
to call the police chief at Ellens
burg, Wash., Berg's next slop
They got Lohrke off and they call
him "Lucky" to this day." j
Berg was four miles on the west
side of Snoqualmie Pass when he
saw it. An erratic driver was on
the wrong side of the center line
and Berg had to pull over on the
soft shoulder. Berg thought he had
it back on the pavement for a
moment. t Then the front end
whipped off again and the coach
was riding hard against the guard
rails. He couldn't hold it.
It headed straight down, hit a
ponderous boulder and turned over
sideways while Berg struggled
helplessly with the wheel. Sparks
from the electrical system
flashed. Broken glass, hand bags
and jackets flew through the air.
The bus hit another boulder and
tipped over, then over again, j
Young Picetti was .thrown out. j
then Geraghty. The bus finally

pinned with a broken shoulder in
a back seat. Barisoff was able to
get him free but it was far too
Hate for those who hadn t already
struggled out. I
Collins was up all night In a
room next to the Associated Press
bureau here. He called every fam- J
ily himself. Two days later a fund
was started.
Dixie Walker, the Brooklyn out-
fielder, suggested that the Spo
kane survivors get a slice of all
star Rame recripls in .Inly. Com
missioner A. B. Chandler agreed
and $2S,onn was sent.
Little amounts drifted in $2
from a New Castle. Ind Barber
shop, $20 67 from a Softball game
in New Haven, $906 01 from the
Kitty League and $357.90 from a
Waterloo-Springfield game in the
Three-1.
Manager Casey Stengel brought
his Oakland Acorns here for free
to play Seattle in an exhibition.
Thcv raised $21,326 and the fund
totaled $114,105. Pitcher Powers,
his neck broken, got $11,910.
The team was rebuilt in 1947
and set a Class B attendance rec
ord of 287,000. Memories of the
Snoqualmie tragedy began to dim
but there was more irony to come.
The heroic Barisoff, who sur
vived the crash, was burned to
death two years Inter when his
house caught fire j
Earlier, there was Pirelli,
frightfully homesick at 16 and not
playing well. Collins was going to
surprise him with a plane ticket
i home to see his mother after the
Bremerton series.
Pitchers Joe Faria and Milt
Candinha, by chance, had gone
over by car. Ken Benshoof, 14,
the bat boy, had parental permis
sion to make the trip but couldn't
find Aden to get final clearance
that day.
Geraghty, who managed Jack
sonville in the South Atlantic
League and Spokane, is the only
survivor still in baseball. The oth
ers have scattered now. And
somewhere, unless fate has
struck him loo, is the reckless
driver who caused it all.
"Our file on this accident will
remain open as long as there is
the slightest chance of finding;
Imore evidence," Mat. 0. C. Tm
seth of the state patrol said thl
week. He investigated the crash
Berg, still bearing scars of tlv
traccdy. now drives an nil trni

Collins Is out of it now but North
i west baseball will never forget
him, his personal charity In thi
face of great grief, and the hun
dreds who stood with him to help
all they could. After "baseball's
darkest night," they produced
some of its finest hours.

precision driving, spectacular
crashes, acrobatics on speeding
autos and circus. Proceeds from
this event will go into the USA
Olympic Games fund, according
to Ron Ail, Valley Sports pro
moter in charge of racing here,
who has contracted the Motor

Full details of this program
will be announced later in the

town, cost our favorite Senator's ballgamer $25. Loop prexy Jim
Fleishman assessed such a penalty on Mel, and made it stick drs-
pita an appeal.
That's s mighty rough jolt In this class of baseball, and particular
ly so for what Krause was guilty of. All he did was tell an incompe
tent umpire (Knight) what he thought of him alter Knieht had muffed
1 play at first base, one that everybody in the park, with the possible , Los Angeles Athletic Club the dis- for same
exception 01 Knight, snew was muffed. Krause undoubtedly flavored cus
his protest with a few cuss words, but knowing the guy as we do, he
didn't unbuckle $25 worth.
Krause rambled onto the field for action, dressed in civilian
- elothes, later In the game when Chuck Essegtan had his run-in with
rYak pitcher Charley Drummond, and this may have provoked some
'of rielshman'i wrath too, When you're kicked out of a ball game,
you're not supposed to go back onto the field.
, Fleishman proved he was going to be a tough president when he
poured the fines to the Wenatchee and Tri-Cily clubs for their earlier
fights this season. He's re-empbasbed it in the Krause case If the
league boss doesn't mind a suggestion from an nldtimcr, he'd prob
ably not have to fine anyone if he would hire umpires who are compe
tent enough and capable enough to do what they are being paid for.
Home of the guys he's sent here this season have been bad enough to
start riot. We wonder If they've been fined for their impurities? . . .

Here's a wee reminder to those Armory raislin' fans wV so
foolishly insist upon grabbing and taking swings at the meanies
J-durinf hectic Tuesday evenings in the village Armory. It's an
item aent out of Oklahoma City: "Police said they are holding a
- professional wrestler In suspidan of maiming after a man's foot
....was twisted off In a brawl Tuesday night. The wrestler was Identi
&fied as Selmar Jack Montgomery of Fresno, Cal. Ralph Landing-v-'ham,
H, Oklahoma City, was Identified aa the victim. His condi
:';tion waa listed aa critical. Montgomery told officers he was at
' tacked by three men and that he fought back in aelf defense."
He may not lose foot, but some night some forgetful gent' or
genta) will coma up losing something other than a temper if they
Jofi't quit trying to conk the meanies here. They may not realize it,
but they're playing with tigers big. rough ones ...
Bill Lillard of Chicago set a
money earning mark in the 195S
ABC bowling tournament when
he earned $2,180.75. Fred Bujack
of Detroit won 12,068 .33 in 195J.
