N GOVERN AND
CORbE7T WILL
GO ON STAGE
Former Lightweight Champions
HaveAaudeviIIe 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 "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
hett 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
regime" 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 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
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
hett several times-always on Broad
way, "rectorizing" and looking fine
well groomed, well fed and contented
with the world. He dwelt with me
for an hour on the subject of his new
act. and realizes he has another
chance to get the bank roll he al
lowed 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's act promises to be
chock 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
10 Gods country, Wen sort of give
it the "once over" and the boost at
the same time.
"\TIX, don't crack so loud; there's
" a Dick over there" said Jimmy
Eothwell, the brother of Young Cor
Se,S when the latter had explained
mis- act to me. IF ever the human
telegraph 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 lot of
jealousy there is in this profession"
remarked Kid Broad as he noticed the
getaway.

Olympic Committee
Must Raise $4,000
For British Team
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-Unless the
fund which is being raised for the
preparation OF British Olympic team
for Berlin reaches $125 600 by the
end Of the year, the special Olympus
games here will go no further in the
matter. This was the unanimous dec
laration of that committee day.
The committee expressed great dis
appointment at the inadequate sup-
port given the fund by the public,
and pointed out that the money IS
urgently needed for the 1916 prepara-
tons, which are being held in abey-
ance until the committee is assured
of stronger backing.
In the meantime several Of the best
English trainers are being sought ~

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 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 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, at least
not a 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 umplr-
ing business as a whole.

SAVANNAH, GA, Nov. 1.-THE big
races which the Savannah Motorcycle
