Air carrier X on takeoff roll observes a B737 approaching runway on perpendicular taxiway. Local controller instructs air carrier X to cancel takeoff clearance but aircraft was accelerating through 100 KTS and PF elected to continue takeoff while moving the aircraft to the left of the runway centerline for wingtip clearance. Air carrier Y, the B737, stopped 10-20 ft short of the runway. Air carrier X rotated prior to the taxiway on which the B737 had stopped.

Narrative:
Cleared for takeoff on runway 30L at stl (L1011). At about 60-80 KTS I noticed a B737 approaching the runway, on a taxiway perpendicular to the runway at a rapid rate of speed, right to left. I told the first officer to 'watch that guy.' within a very short time frame as I was accelerating through 100 KTS, the tower canceled my takeoff clearance (actually too late for that). At the same time I also noticed that the B737 had stopped with his nose about 10-20 ft from the edge of the runway. I moved our aircraft over 25-30 ft left of centerline to allow for more wingtip clearance. Rotation was commenced just prior to the taxiway on which the air carrier aircraft had stopped. Flight continued to destination. On talking to tower supervisor it appears it was a problem with the ground controller.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR X ON TKOF ROLL OBSERVES A B737 APCHING RWY ON PERPENDICULAR TXWY. LCL CTLR INSTRUCTS ACR X TO CANCEL TKOF CLRNC BUT ACFT WAS ACCELERATING THROUGH 100 KTS AND PF ELECTED TO CONTINUE TKOF WHILE MOVING THE ACFT TO THE L OF THE RWY CTRLINE FOR WINGTIP CLRNC. ACR Y, THE B737, STOPPED 10-20 FT SHORT OF THE RWY. ACR X ROTATED PRIOR TO THE TXWY ON WHICH THE B737 HAD STOPPED.
Narrative: CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 30L AT STL (L1011). AT ABOUT 60-80 KTS I NOTICED A B737 APCHING THE RWY, ON A TXWY PERPENDICULAR TO THE RWY AT A RAPID RATE OF SPD, R TO L. I TOLD THE FO TO 'WATCH THAT GUY.' WITHIN A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME AS I WAS ACCELERATING THROUGH 100 KTS, THE TWR CANCELED MY TKOF CLRNC (ACTUALLY TOO LATE FOR THAT). AT THE SAME TIME I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE B737 HAD STOPPED WITH HIS NOSE ABOUT 10-20 FT FROM THE EDGE OF THE RWY. I MOVED OUR ACFT OVER 25-30 FT L OF CTRLINE TO ALLOW FOR MORE WINGTIP CLRNC. ROTATION WAS COMMENCED JUST PRIOR TO THE TXWY ON WHICH THE ACR ACFT HAD STOPPED. FLT CONTINUED TO DEST. ON TALKING TO TWR SUPVR IT APPEARS IT WAS A PROB WITH THE GND CTLR.
