NJ GOVERN AND
CORbETT WILL
co ON STAGE
Former Lightweight Champions
Have Vaudeville Act Frame-up
for Coming Season.
By Otto G. Floto.

N ENVER. Nov. 1.-They are
framing up a new WOO vile"
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
ot amusement. An angel has already
been landed who will furnish the do
fey-me" to launch the enterprise, and
all that's needed now is the booking
of route and the demanded salary
met. The latter two items seem to be
the most ssential-therefore it be-
moves Corbett and McGovern to hus-
lie a 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
hey 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
beit several times-always on Broad
way. "rectorizine" and looking fine
Well groomed, well fed and contented
with the world. He dwelt with me
for an hour on the subject of his now
act and realizes he has another
chance to get the bank roll he al
owed to slip away from him In the
haICyOn days gone by.
The little fellow still has many
Friends yrhn a n
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
2Eer. 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 X-champion's 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 II ever you come out West
10 Gods country. Well sort of give
it the once over" and the boost at
the same time.
H\rIN. don't crack so loud: there's
~ a Dick'over there" said Jimmy
Eothwell, the brother of Young Cor
he,t when the latter had explained
his act to me. IF ever the human
photograph 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.
Terry and ! have got some of them
whipped before we start" Just then
one Of the Cherry sisters passed along
Broadway, and both of the Rothwell
boys did an Arthur Duffy down Forty
second street. Gee, what a lot of
jealousy there Is in this profession
remarked Kid Broad as he noticed the
getaway.

SAVANNAH, GA, Nov. 1.-The big
races which the Savannah Motorcycle
Club is going to stage on the Grand
Prize automobile course on Christ
mas day will be the most interesting
event of the kind ever pulled off in

turers are voluntarily contributing to
the financial end of the undertaking.
The Savannah club is the largest
south of Baltimore, and the track
over which this race will be run is
said to be the finest in the world.
Riders from Savannah. Charleston
ard other neighboring points will I'M
doubtedly enter the contest.

Klein One Of Greatest Umpires
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 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 game KLEIN is
usually paired off with the new UNI
pires breaking into the league, so that
he can school them on the way ii
should be done in the majors.
Unlike most other umpires, Klein
has never been a ball player, at least
not professional. He started out as
an umpire, but gave 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

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE stock
market was strong and active today.
demonstrating the durability Of up
ward action which set In Thursday
following the big slump earlier in the
week which came following the an
nouncement of the supreme courts
decision In the Minnesota rate case.
Advances Of to 2 points were shown
in the leading stocks, and the closing
quotations were the highest for the
lday. The weeks liquidation on Wall
street was shown in the weekly bank
statement which reveals reduction
lcf $S,S6s,000. Cash holdings were in
creased and the surplus reserved was
increased ss.S24,0o0.
The announcement OF Secretary OF
Treasury McAdoo as to the issue Of
l$500,o00.000 emergency note was one
of the most notable events in con-
lnection with the situation of the week.
It really meant nothing more than the
Northumberland bill was still law
and all bankers are familiar with the
terms under which emergency notes
may be secured. But the announce
ment came at the physiological mo-
ment. Call money was ruling at from
" to 8 per cent and time leans so
that 1t would be necessary for any
bank to take the measure. The ply
sological effect however, was to
bring about an upward movement in
the market just as the supreme courts
decision brought the opposite result.
Heavy liquidation in the foreign
markets has resulted In an oyer-loan-
ed and over-fnanced situation which
was followed by the collapse in prices
in the domestic market The London
slump came before the opening of the
market here Tuesday and with over
night consideration of the Minnesota
decision, prices here followed suit.
In spite of this it is admitted that the
decision carried nothing of damag-
ing character to railroad values. The
railroad officials admitted their act
ual monetary losses resulting from
the decision are small.
