"Garry' Hermann
Was Given Nickname
In Rather Odd WAY

NEW YORK, Nov. Ever hear why
August Hermann is known to all the
world as Garry"
Hermann is the chairman of the Ma
tional Baseball Commission. Other
baseball diplomats say he is the cIearest
and coolest thinker in the business.
Hermann devised the plan of organiza-
ton under which modern baseball is
conducted. and his mediatory talent has
kept the leagues operating under the
plan. Forty years ago he was a small
German boy in Cincinnati. His first job
was in a printing office. Another and
an older. boy was employed there.
1.-The tradition Of the office" said one
of Herrmann's old friends, was that
the boy should always be nicknamed
Bismarck So that the first boy was
so known in the shop. When the sec
ond boy came along the shop intellects
were strained almost to the bursting
point. Obviously there could not be
two Bismarcks Also there were in
ternecine troubles to be feared.
If you name that Dutch blagen
Bismarck, I'll beat a soft spot into his
bean. announced the first office boy.
" II asked young Hermann, hope
fully, i lick this Bismarck Kid. do | get
his name? And dare'st l use a rock?'

.Dreyfuss In Favor
Of Herrmann's Idea

PITTSBURG, Nov. 1.-At the De-
cember meeting of the baseball mag
mates President Barney Dreyfuss, of
the Pitsburg Pirates. will advocate
that the regular season close on Au-
gust 81, and that immediately an in
ter-league series be played in which
50 games would be scheduled, each
team in the one league playing four
games with each team in the other.
Two games would be played on home
grounds and two on the circuit.
The proposition to be presented by
Mr. Dreyfuss is similar in general
outline to that put forward some time
ago by President Garry Hermann Of
the Cincinnati club but differs in that
the local man would not abolish the
Worlds Series.
Il have been thinking out this plan
for some time" said Mr.. Dreyfuss to-
day. And ] am going to suggest it a {
the coming meetings. II is for the
good of the majority, and | have no
doubt that ! can convince most of
the other club owners that it would
be well to give the thing a trial. 1t
looks to me as If a special series OF
two games at home and two abroad
with each team in the other league
would meet with the approval of the
public and prove a popular attra elton
in addition to being far more profit
able to the club owners than is the
present system"

Here at Last; Frank Klaus Alibi
+s+
The Wink That Proved Fatal

more Of a joke than ever. Klaus was
pounding Chip all over the ring and
the latter doing nothing in return.
More spectators left the place dis
gusted because Chip was such a poor
opponent.
TT was mighty soft for Klaus. and
he dropped all caution to the winds.
Finally, with less than a minute to
go, Klaus had forced Chip in the lat
ter's own corner. Chip, half covered
up was holding on the ropes Klaus
stood still waiting for an opening. 1t
looked so easy that ne winked to sew
eral friends in the audience.
THE instant he turned his head
and winked Chip came up with a ter
rifle left handed swing. 1t caught
Frank square behind the ear and he
fell. 1t was the first time in his ca
reer that he had ever been knocked
down. Instantly there was the great
est excitement.
The referee started TO count IS
soon as he fell. He was lying in
Chips own corner and raised himself
on one knee. Could ] have gotten near
him. I could have thrown water in
his face and revived him. While still
on one knee, Chip hit him a second
time. OF course, this was plain
foul The referee didn't notice it, and
persons at the ringside declared that
he stopped counting at six. The ref
cree was plainly up in the air.
Didn't Count Him Out.
Both Chip and the referee were
on top Of Klaus and he was so boxed
in the corner that he had no chance
to regain his feet While he was ~
one knee struggling to get up tn
referee sent Chip to mis- corner. He
was never officially counted out In
stantly Klaus was on his feet. His
mind was clear as a bell In a few
minutes h2 was in his street clothes,
and he left the club without showing
a mark.
klaus told me It was cafelessness.
He told me that Chip was so easy he
had dropped all vigilance. Had he
only fought me harder, l never would
have loafed,' he said. 4 should have
warded off that blow
1T was this lucky punch and Klaus
carelessness that caused the biggest
surprise in the ring in years. The
middleWeight title wasn't involved in
the bout Klaus weighed 161 pounds
and Chip 161 1-2. Now, as to the FL
ture. Klaus campaign to beat every
body at his weight in the world won't
be halted a second.
I'VE hope to get Chip in the ring.
but hardly believe he will be success
full. Chip knows he could never re.
peat what he did.
He will try to get as much out Of
his victory as is possible. and you
cant blame him. But anybody knows
that Chip is not in Klaus class His
next fights Will prove that.

~ EFORE the last whispers Of
- baseball are lost in the din of
other activities, 1t becomes a
duty to narrate on Bill Klein, the
peppery umpire Of the National
League, who has been appointed as
the arbiter for the world tour of the
Giants and White Sox. KLEIN has not
only proved that he is a good umpire,
but has proved that he is also a
brave man. He has not even shud-
dered at being cast into the midst of
40 or more fiery athletes on a. trip
that will carry him beyond the pro-
tecting hand of his native country.
AS a matter Of fact, Bill will about be
equal to the occasion.
The appointment of KLEIN is a mark
of distinction for him. He is regard
ed by many as the best umpire in the
business, a fact which seems to be
pretty well established by his selec-
ton twice for Worlds Series. In the
present instance, it was largely due
to Manager McGraw that Klein was
selected. MCGraw, who never had any
particular love for umpires as a gen.
eral thing, thinks highly of Klein, be-
cause he recognizes that Klein has
become a master of his business, just
as McGraW himself has become a
master of his own end of the game.
M 'GRAW has often maintained that
A'A KLEIN was the only man in the
business who could do Matty justice
on balls and strikes, and would al
ways rather have him in an impor-
tant, series than any other arbiter.
Klein is popular among the ball play
ers, but this trip around the world is
going to be a new experience for him.
In the course of a regular season,

N GOVERN AND

co On STAGE
Former Lightweight Champions
Have Vaudeville Act Frame-up
for Coming Season,
BY Otto G. Floto.

~ ENVER, Nov. 1.-They are
framing up a new "voo-ville"
act in the East. Give you a
couples Of guesses and a "once over"
and then you'll never hit upon the
names of the two celebrities that will
form the combination. Why nobody
else than two former lightweight
champions of the world, Young Cor
bett and Terry McGovern. That's the
stunt A playwright has been found
to write the vehicle that will intro
duce them to the patrons of that class
Of amusement. An angel has already
been landed who will furnish the do
rey-me' to launch the enterprise, and
all that's needed now is the booking
Of a route and the demanded salary
met. The latter two items seem to be
the most ssential-therefore it be-
hooves COrbett and McGovern to hus-
lie bit to put them over.
IT HERE is no reason in the world
why these two eX-champS should
not make good. They certainly will if
they take things seriously and not look
upon it as a joke and just an excuse
for getting by During my recent
visit to New York | met Young Cor
bett several times-always on Broad
way, "rectori2ing" and looking fine
well groomed. well fed and contented
with the world. He dwelt with me
Tor an hour on the subject of his new
act. and realizes he has another
chance to get the bank roll he al
owed to slip away from him in the
halCyOn days gone by.
The little fellow still has many
warm friends who are ever ready to
offer the willing hand if they see it's
going to do him some good. Meow
ern never lost his hold on the public,
and with the backing of his old man
ager. Sammy Harris. it looks to me
as if the Corbett- McGovern crew are
destined to get their share of the
loose piCkings that are laying about
the country for acts with novelty.
The eX-champion' act promises to be
rhock full of novelty. Well, here's
luck TO you, Bill, and to you also,
Terry I'll certainly take a slant at
the doings if ever you come out West

The same time.
HNTlX, don't crack so loud: there's
a Dick over there" said Jimmy
RGthwell, the brother of Young Cor
Bee. when the latter had explained
his act to me. "If ever the human
dictograph gets onto the act, he'll
pinch both of them for their nerve"
continued Jimmy. That's all right
about that" replied the Kid, but if
they think, McGovern and myself
have nerve. they ought to take the
old wise glance at some of the acts
We see along Broadway these days.

one Of the Cherry sisters passed along
Broadway, and both of the Rothwell
boys did an Arthur Duffy down Forty

jealousy there is in this profession"

Klein One Of Greatest Umpires
+s+ +s4 +sA
Even McGraW Praises His Work

the umpires associate very little with
the ball players. They stop at differ
ent hotels, and their schedule is so
arranged that they seldom travel on
the same trains as the ball clubs. But
on this trip KLEIN will be in the party
all the time. OF course, no great i'm
portance attaches to the outcome of
these games, and there should not be
any trouble over decisions, but ball
players never seem to be able to
keep off" an umpire. even in exhibit
ton games
ON the other hand Klein Is prob
~ ably the most successful silencer
of ball players now extant. 1t is a
part of his business he has perfected.
But he is aided a good deal by the
fact that players give him credit for
having a keen eye and knowing their
own, and moreover they know that
above all things he is always fair and
unprejudiced in his decisions.
KLEIN has become the best umpire
in the business by making a study OF
his line of work. He has studied pitch
ers and motions so as to not be de-
Ceived on balls and strikes, and he
knows where to place himself for the
various plays that come UP under GER
tain situations in a game. KLEIN is
usually paired off with the new UNI
pires breaking into the league, so that
he can school them on the way it
should be done in the majors
Unlike most other umpires, KLEIN
has never been a ball player, a least
not a professional. He started out as
an umpire, but ga re his line the same
attention and study that other success
full men give to their work, and has,
therefore, not only raised his own
standard, but also that of the umpir-
ing business as a whole.
