exceptions.
Athletes who reach the top, and
stay there for a period of years in
any sport, do not attain their peak
until they are well past twenty
years of age.
Sidney B. Wood and Frank
Shields, ranking tennis players of
few years ago, are splendid ex-
ampleS of worn out athletes who
reached their peak too soon. Wood
and Shields, both barely over 25,
are not veterans of the game and
are no matches for the top notch
ers in the nation.
There are exceptions in football

but note the real top notchers and
you will find that most of the foot
ball players who make all-Ameri-

mythical team were not stars in

A few years ago Notre Dame had

only % days of the major league
baseball season remaining all in
dications pointed today toward an
other all-New York world series.
The Yanks have a 11-game lead
with only 27 games left to play
If the Yanks win IA, the second
place Detroit Tigers would have to
win all 25 of their remaining games
to beat them out.
The Giants still have to contend
with the Cubs but they have a
three-game lead with 81 games left
to play. If they win II the Cubs
will have to win 20 out of 25 to
win the pennant.
Bookmakers already are quoting
the Yanks 2-1 favorites to win the
world title regardless of who wins
the National league pennant. If
the Cubs win, the odds may make
the Yanks as high as 81, longest

TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
.By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. tU.P-The
more sports events see in this
country, the more I am amazed
that the dear old United States
produces as many champions as
it does.
The American customers are very,
very tough on champions. Just let
a fellow work his way to the No. l
spot and he becomes the No. l
target of the boys and girls in the
gallery. Their one aim, when they
lay out their money for tickets,
is to get seats which will provide
them with commanding view of
the downfall of the head man.
The latest exhibition of this
peculiar national trait came at
Forest Hills yesterday when John
Donald Bulge played quarter
final match against one Joe Hunt.
Bulge is the tennis champion,
the No. in the world, So all he
got from the crowd for solid
hour Of magnificent shot making
was a rather cold and unfritSidly
silence. On the other hand Hunt,
who is just another workman,
and who doesn't belong in the
same league with the California
redhead, was thunderOusly ap-
plauded whenever he made a
winning shot.
Such an attitude is hard to ex-
plain. Bulge is modest and has
perfect court manners. He 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. 1t would seem,
would it 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, ap-
preciate the fine points of the
sport they love?
But no, Hunt, the under-dog, was
the favorite.. The crowd wanted
to see Bulge knocked off, and they
resented the perfection of the shots
that crushed his opponent.
It's the same IN boxing and all
other sports. Joe Louis licked Tom
my Farr with as fine display of
left jabbing as any heavyweight
champion has ever shown, yet his
victory was greeted with five min
utes of concentrated boos and cat
calls Appreciation of the cham
pion's perfect skin was smothered
under adesire to see the crude

are slated for the big time-if good
judgement is used in pushing those
boys to the top of the ladder.
Lou Ambers, the nations light
weight champion, started fighting
as an amateur when he was 18
years old but he went uphill slow
~, Not because he could not have
gone more rapidly, but because
clever trainer made him take it
easy.
Ambers hit the big time when
he was 81 and he is still rated as
the tops among lightweights in
nation. 3. u-, 1921. t.....-.-..
There have been professional
lightweightS, however, with futures
which appeared far roster than that
of AmberS. They hit the peak when
they We're l8 years of age and were
burned out before they had fought
long enough to seek titles and big
money. Eddie Hanlon is a good ex-
ample of this class of fighter.
Max Schmeling is one fighter
who can still be rated among the
leaders in his division despite the
fact he has passed the 80 year
mark.
But Schmeling didn't crash into
the big time until he was 25.
Back to the valley boys, the
Bench Warmer would advise their
managers to let the battlers take
it easy until they have fully ma
tured One fight a month is suf-
ficient, two at the most.
A dozen fight experts have told
the Bench Warmer that the Hogue
twins would go places if they didn't
fight themselves out in the next
two years. And that warning could
be applied to many other valley
amateurs.

slowly, gives good performance for

So do human beings. And especi-
ally athletes.

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.
The one exception that 1 know
of was Bob Jones. The Albanian
was a champion that the crowd
went for, body and soul. The
fairway customers whooped and
hOllered with joy when he won,
and suffered the inside miseries
when he lost. They never tired
of him winning. I've never seen
more mass happiness than on
that day at Merton when he ran
down the putt that licked Gene
HOmans and gave him his tre-
mendOus grand slam. Jones' op-
pOnents worked under q tremen-
dous handicap-the unfriendIiness
of the gallery. 1 have actually
heard spectators hiss when a
player would lay an approach
dead or sink a long putt and
take hole away from the Geor-
gia gem. s ..-.
But as said, Jones was an ex-
ception.
In direct contrast to an American
crowd is an English crowd. English
sport followers invariably are for
the champion. They go to tennis
and golf and polo and cricket
chiefly for the pleasure of seeing
an artist execute perfect shots,
and are saddened when an un-
known comes along and, because of
a temporarily brilliant touch, up
sets the champion.
Englishmen place no high pre-
MUM on a bitter fight They would
much rather see a champion, all
shots working Hawlessly. breeze
through a less capable performer,
than to watch two mediocre, but
evenly, matched players, struggle
to the bitter end.
I am sure that I don't know
what moral there Is TO be found
in today's little sermon.

JOHNNIE Dean challenged Graves
to fight it out in the second round
and the Bomber retaliated with a
brand of fighting that oyershadow-
ed any effort ever made by the
valley middleweight champion in
the El Centre ring.
After a rather slow first round in
which the Bomber took an edge,
Dean came out swinging to jolt
Graves with a left hook and an
overland right. Graves took up the
battle from that point and gave
Dean the drubbing of his career in
bloody second round.

But Dean was out of his corner

but was again forced to take the
most punishment as the Bomber
landed consistently with hard and
accurate uppercuts.
Blood dripping from cut under

him from a knockdown.
