Narrative:
BA31 holding short of the runway 12R at taxiway B. An arrival, another BA31 exited the runway early. To get him clear of other taxiing aircraft I tried to call him, but used the wrong call sign. I realized I had mistaken the call sign when the BA31 holding short of the runway began to move. I immediately instructed the BA31 to hold short of the runway which he did, but over the hold short line. Local control had given takeoff clearance to a B727, who had commenced his departure roll. I then instructed local to abort the B727 takeoff due to traffic over the hold short line. The B727 aborted and was at taxi speed approximately 1500 ft prior to the intersection at which the BA31 was across the hold short line. The B727 exited the runway at taxiway B and after a brake cooling period, departed.

Title: GND CTLR USED WRONG CALL SIGN WHEN CLRING A BA31 TO CROSS A RWY. CTLR SAW WRONG ACFT CROSS HOLD LINE AND WAS ABLE TO GET HIM STOPPED ALBEIT ACROSS THE HOLD LINE AND THEN HAD THE LCL CTLR HAVE A B727 ABORT HIS TKOF DUE TO THE PROX OF THE BA31 TO THE RWY.
Narrative: BA31 HOLDING SHORT OF THE RWY 12R AT TXWY B. AN ARR, ANOTHER BA31 EXITED THE RWY EARLY. TO GET HIM CLR OF OTHER TAXIING ACFT I TRIED TO CALL HIM, BUT USED THE WRONG CALL SIGN. I REALIZED I HAD MISTAKEN THE CALL SIGN WHEN THE BA31 HOLDING SHORT OF THE RWY BEGAN TO MOVE. I IMMEDIATELY INSTRUCTED THE BA31 TO HOLD SHORT OF THE RWY WHICH HE DID, BUT OVER THE HOLD SHORT LINE. LCL CTL HAD GIVEN TKOF CLRNC TO A B727, WHO HAD COMMENCED HIS DEP ROLL. I THEN INSTRUCTED LCL TO ABORT THE B727 TKOF DUE TO TFC OVER THE HOLD SHORT LINE. THE B727 ABORTED AND WAS AT TAXI SPD APPROX 1500 FT PRIOR TO THE INTXN AT WHICH THE BA31 WAS ACROSS THE HOLD SHORT LINE. THE B727 EXITED THE RWY AT TXWY B AND AFTER A BRAKE COOLING PERIOD, DEPARTED.
