New York, Sept. 10. (UP)-The more sports events see in this country, the more I am amazed that the dear old United States produces as many champions as 1t does.
 The American customers are very, very tough on champions. Just let c fellow work his way to the No. 1 spot and he becomes the No. 1 tar- get of the boys and girls in the gal- lery. Their one aim, when they lay out their money for tickets, Is to get seats which will provide them with Q commanding view of the downfall of the head man.
 The latest exhibition of this pecu- liar national trait came at Forest Hills yesterday when John Donald Budge played Q quarter final match against one Joe Hunt, Budge is the tennis champion, the No. 1 in the world, so all he got from the crowd for . solid hour of magni- hcent shot.making was 6 rather cold and unfriendly silence. On the other hand Hunt, who is just an- other workman, and who doesn't be. long in the same league with the California redhead, was thunder ously applaudcd whenever he made Q winning shot.
 Such an attitude is hard to ex- plain, Budge is modest and has per- feet court manners. lie won the Davis Cup for this country after others had been failing for 10 years. And the only thrills of the match were provided by his superb artistry. It would seem, would 1t not, that he would be the one to receive the plaudits of the customers, especially in view of the fact that tennis fans, more than those of any other sport, appreciate the fine points of the sport they lovep
 But no, Hunt, the under-dog, was the favorite. The crowd wanted to see Budge knocked of, and they re. sented the perfection of the shots that crushed his opponent.
 It's the same in boxing and oil other sports. Joe Louis licked Tommy Farr with as fine a display of ft-jabbing as any heavyweight champion hos ever shown, yet his victory was greeted with Ave min utes of concentrated boos and cat. calls, Appreciation of the champions perfect skill was smothered under Q desire to see the crude and clumsy Farr upset him.
 Tommy Hitchcock in polo, Babe Ruth In baseball, Notre Dame In football, all have felt the hostility of the American crowd toward the standout performer. t,
 The one exception that I know of was Bob Jones, The Atlantan was champion that the crowd went for, body and soul The fairway GUS. toners whooped and hollered with

PEASE KAYOES TRIANO
 IN THIRD HEAT.
Johnny O'ROurke Gets Draw in Debut Last
 Night as Amateur

Smiling Freddie Pease, slugging Rockville Frenchman, made Q punching bag out of Joe Triano ot Naugatuck in the main 90 on the amateur card at Randolph and Cloves stadium last night, winning by Q technical knockout after one minute of the third round elapsed.
 Referee John chick Kelley, pinch hitting at a moments notice when the commissioners assigned official failed to make his appear. ance, stopped the fight after the borough Italian was dropped for the second time,
 Triano substituted for Irish Mickey Donahue of Stamford who tele. gramed Promoters Bobby Kelly and Mickey Dance in the afternoon he was in Vermont attending the wed- ding of his sister.
 Pease went to town on Triano Just after the bell started the bout. A terrific right to the Italians head sent him to the canvas for 0 nine count. Triano weathered the storm for the remainder of the round and looked even better in the second, The third, though, was @ horse of 0 different color, for after one minute elapsed the Frenchman uncorked another right which found 0 mark on Triano's whiskers and down he went.
 Here Referee Kelley justifiably stepped in and stopped the match as Trianos head was reeling, although he showed plenty of intestinal forti. tude by insisting he was O! K. and merely taking the count,
 O'ROurke Looks Good
 Johnny O'Rourke, the Abrigador Seeker, boxed three round draw with Clarence dautte, l39, of Willi- mantle, in 0 novice contest which opened the card. O'Rourke, handled by Dave Kelly, loves to fight, and, although Q little crude, yet shows possibilities of developing into 0 conner. Our score card gave the Irish lad the benefit of the milling.
 Sam Maltempo, l73, of Williman- tic, state middleweight champion who Is now fighting in the light heavyweight class, left jahbed to a decisive three round decision over the willing Vic Galati, l80, of New Britain. Galati took plenty of pun ishment like man. Maltemp pleased the crowd and he's duo for another showing here shortly.
 Sal Midget" Renault of New Ha- ven, state flyweight champion, was given Q draw with Henry Davis, New Britain Negro, although our score card showed the Elm Cityite the vic- tor. The coiored lad was on the defensive throughout.
 The other results follow: Billy Perrin of New Britain, Ib0, won by . technical kayo over Young shArkey of Hartford in the third round; Tony Andreas, New London Portuguese, drew with Young Bumbo of New Haven; Eddie dermonte, l63, Of New Britain, decisloned Art Mcxenna oi Willimantic; Tony dillo, l6o, New Haven, and Kid 0oldie, i63, Oakville, drew; Flip AndreaS, l3o, New Lon. don, was outpointed by Art dagnon, iSe, Willimantic; Chick Harris, 1S6, New Britain, defeated Vic Olsen, lSS, Willimantic.

September 10, 1904, at Philadelphia (This is the longest 10 duel be-
 tween two hurlers to take place
 on any 10th day of September)
 Eddie Plank had turned back Jimmy Collins and his Red Sox without a run for thirteen innings, and Cy Young had done likewise to Connie Mack's Athletics for twelve.
 The fans were waiting for dark ness to halt this great scoreless contest, when Dan Murphy singled in the thirteenth and advanced to second on Monte Cross's sacrifice.
 Jimmy Collins then threw out Powers, Murphy holding second. With two out. 1t was up to Plank. He must have realized that Um- pire Connolly was contemplating calling the game if he failed in this attempt. At any rate, he blazed a terrific drive down the right field foul line, and won his own game, scoring Murphy from second.
 Boston scattered but seven hits of Plank, while Young gave only five up to Murphy's drive in the thirteenth. and he struck out twelve batsmen.
 Murphy opened the fifth inning with a triple, but Young famed the next three batters.
 Cy did not walk or hit anyone. while "0ettysburg Eddie" passed but two.
 NOTE; Only twenty-four longer low score (l-0 and 0-0) duels bee tween two pitchers have been play ed in the major leagues.

DONALD BUDCE
 WEARS TOP OF
 TENNIS WORLD
Californian Meets Frankie Parker at Forest Hills
 Today
By HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan C0FrespOndnet)
 Forest Hills, N. r., Sept. i0.-(UP) Donald Budge, the California red- head, who already has won three all-England titles, was only Q few Jobs and volleys from tennis immor- tality today.
 He had to win but two matches to win the American singles crown. Victory in the nations would make Budge king of world tennis for 1887. A straight-set triumph which he secretly hopes for, would put his name high on the honor roll of ten- his.
 Budge meets young Frankie Parker of Spring Lake, N J., today in the semi finals of the national championships. It was Parker who ruined Budge's "no-hit" match at Wimbledon, taking @ set from him in the seIni-finals,
 In today's other match, Baron Gottfried Von Cramm of Germany, who lost to Budge In straight-sets in the Wimbledon finals, meets Bobby Riggs of Los Angeles. Von Cramm is favored.
 If Budge beats Parker In straight sets, he will be favored to keep his slate clean in the finals, regardless of whether he meets von Cramm or Riggs.
 Against Joe Hunt of Los Angeles, one of Americas most promising youngsters, Budge showed the crowd everything yesterday, He took the first two sets 6-l, 6-2. In the third he slowed down and Hunt forged into 0 4-l lead. Then Don turned on the heat and won Ave straight games to take the set 6-4.
 In the women'S semi-finals, two foreigners--Anita Li2ana of Chile and Jadwlga Jedrzejowska of Poe land--were favored to survive.
 Miss Lizana meets Dorothy May Bundy of Santa Monica, Cal, who eliminated defending champion Alice Marble in the quarter finals. Miss Jedr2ejowska, favored to win the title, faces Helen Jacobs of Berke- ley Gal, four times national cham pion.

Play Ball!

BY special dispensation the "oficial"
opening Of the base ball season has for
a number Of years begun in WASHINGTON
each year, with the first game of the
schedule at the Capital started with the
throwing of the ball by the President of
the United States. This is the day for
that ceremony, and by good fortune the
weather Is ideal for such an occasion.
Whatever may be the outcome of the sea-
sons play. whatever the final standing
OF the local representatives in the Ameri-
can League, this game stands out from
the others inasmuch as the Chief Execu-
tive of the Nation in effect presides over
the contest.
Washington's standing In the league
this year has been forecast by most OBJ
servers as comparatively lowly. There
seems to be no pennant in sight, In the
judgment OF the analysts. BY general
consensus the yankees" are booked for
repetition Of their 1896 performance
OF victory. But base ball is q queer game
in that surprises are always possible.
Talent that is rated as mediocre in the
course Of the training season has . way
of developing strongly in the heat Of the
contest. Combinations that appeared

Japanese Cherry Trees
A Memorial to Amity
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
One more weary protest, which voices
the feelings of many, on the matter OF
the Jefferson Memorial. 1t seems to
many OF us that one large undertaking
such as the building for the Mellon
pictures might suffice for the moment
both to keep the architects name to the
fore and to ornament the city. At
time when cuts are supposedly being
made to reduce expenses and when
every hospital and charity is having a
drive, for indispensable funds, the mere
thought OF spending a huge sum for .
mere memorial seems appalling.
washington has too many monuments.
1t seems as if Arlington Cemetery oozed
down into the city. We have learned to
circulate with averted eyes past the CEN
terpieces of hobby horses and military
gentlemen, but the present trend of
sublimated mausoleums is not so easy
to ignore. Why should we have some
thing just to look at? eve would prefer
to look at clean streets, but Theodore
Roosevelt was the only one to interest
himself in such) But even those who
approve of memorial to a President
we are glad to remember cannot feel
that the proposed site is suitable or even
sensible. Why should cherry trees that
are a memorial to japanese amity be
moved and destroyed to make room for
still another memorial?

Shameless Vandalism Not
An Honor to jefferson

To the Editor Of The Star:
II Representative Boylan is determined
as reported, to try to force his mis-
guided project for demolishing the Tidal
Basin and the cherry trees I hereby
nominate him for Washingon's Public
Enemy No. l.
Whom or what Representative BoylAn
represents is becoming matter of in
creasing speculation. Certainly as an
arblter of public memorials and of suit
able sites for them he is proving himself
so utterly untitled that he should be
relieved Of his present position as chair
man OF the Jefferson Memorial Com
mission.
1t Is inconceivable that this contem-
plated outrage should be perpetrated in
the face of the rising tide of public
indignation. To destroy or disfigure
what has become one Of the famous
beauty spots of the world would be an
intolerable affront to the half million
citizens of Washington and to millions
OF Americans throughout the country to
whom the cherry trees around the Tidal
Basin have become symbol of sylvan
loneliness and mecca for Spring pill
grimages.
And it would be an insult, not an
honor, to Thomas Jefferson, whose very
name would be desecrated by association
with an act OF such shameless vandalism.

Even the most careful pedestrian, II
he Is entirely honest with himself, will
ind that far too often he Is far from
careful.
He stops on the curb, turns around to
look 1t new building, forsets the trafnc
and his perch ut the edge Of 1t, turns
and steps OIL the curb in one movement.
School children often are extremely
careless here. Several Of them laughing
and joking each other, will stand on the
curb With back to the passing stream OF
cars.
Carefulness calls for every one to face
danger, not turn back to 1t.
The insolent attitude of some pedes-
TRANS, who seem actually to defy motor
lists to strike them, Is carelessness in
the extreme.
Just what they hope to gain by this
attitude is not easy to understand, except
. momentary satisfaction not worth the
danger run.
Pretty girls who rely on their beauty
to protect them from trafdc are leaning
on a slender reed.
Even Helen OF Troy, were she alive
today, would think twice before doing
some OF the silly things you see women
do every day in our streets. And the
men, OF course, are not far behind. There
seems to be certain percentage OF our
population, regardless Of sex, the men,
bers of which altogether lack g normal
amount of caution.
Herbert Spencer's idea that self
preservation is the basic law OF life has
no standing with these good folk.
Watch them gawk into the streets,
even slowing down, instead Of accelerat-
ing their pace. See them cross dag
onally from northwest corner to south
east corner.
Note how they are thinking about
something else" how they even read in
hind parked cars and walk out with
out looking to right or left.
Many Of our honest burghers have
not yet realized that the old courtesy
ruling, which required automobiles to
stop behind public vehicles when un-
loading and taking on passengers, is no
longer enforced.
The crux OF the modern automobile
problem lies In the plain fact that the
mind and eye OF man were never made
to cope with such speeds as are possible
and permissible today.
AS long as We will not cut down the
speed, but even increase 1t, we will have
this manning and killing.
The only salvation, as all salvations
Is personal one.
We do not enter heaven In a crowd
but one by one.
We do not save ourselves from our
fellow men in automobiles, If we do, by
getting together in q mass and defying
all motorists as such, but solely by reason
OF such care and good fortune as shall
be ours
A little more care, brethren, and the
thing is done-maybe.
Let us remember the lady we heard
the other day, and her words OF everyday
wisdom.
II was always careful" she said, but
after got hit by that truck I was more
careful"
