THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAy, FOKTLAyD, pKCJSMBBK 18, 130 MEN ARE AT WEIGHT 8ritt and Nelson in Condition to Fight Tuesday. LATTER STOPS HARD WORK Ban Francisco Sports Expect tho House to Be the Largest in Many Years Betting Not Yet Lively. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 17. Both Battling" Xelson and Jimmy Britt have practically reached the stipulated 132 pound mark for their contest next Tues day night. Today Nelson stopped his Tegular work and went hunting. He is declared to be flt and strong. Britt is easily coming down to the required notch, and Is lessening his amount of. dally work. Each man recognizes that he will face the most formidable too in the ring, and both camps take a serious view of the coming fight. That the sporting public is greatly in terested in the match Is shown In the advance sales. The House will probably be greater than any for many years. There Is not enough betting yet to fix any standard. BRITT THE FAVORITE. Leads the Betting on the Coming Con test With Nelson. Down in San Francisco they are begin ning to bet on the Brltt-Nelson fight, and naturally Britt Is favorite. "When the match was first made, some of the wise ones figured the fight would be an even ir.oney proposition, but the "native son" feeling has spread, and Britt Is now a 10-to-7 favorite. There Is every reason to expect that there will be plenty of Nelson money in sight, but the Nelson backers will want odds, and will most likely get them. too. James Edward Is a popular "native son," and there will be plenty of "native son" money on tap to keep the home boy in the place of favorite In the betting. In none of his last four fights has Nel son been favorite In the betting, but he won all four. In the fight in which the Battling person took Canole into camp In May of this year. Canole was favorite In the betting at odds of 10 to 4. but Nelson got the money. Then, when Nelson met Hanlon at Woodward's Pavilion in July, the sports all eald that was the place for the Dane to drop, and again he was a 10-to-4 long shot and won. Up In Butte In September the sports and miners thought Herrera was a good thing to best Nelson, and Herrera was favorite at 10 to 7. Again the handy Norseman brought home the money. " It looked such a good thing for Young Oorbctt last month that Nelson was once more a 10-to-4 chance, but he bet quite some on himself, getting about 2 to 1 for hs money, and then won it easily. It was the same way with Nelson back in his own town in the Middle North west. In most all of his fights he was a long shot, and he kept picking up the money. Nelson has never thought that he was a 2-to-l shot with any man, and Is always same to back himself. Britt, on the other hand, has been a fa vorite in the betting on two of his last four fights. In his fight with Sieger he was a 10-to-5 chance and won. He wa3 again a 10-to-5 chance when he fought Canole, and he won that fight. When Corbett came out to fight the local boy In the early Spring, Britt was a 10-to-6 shot, but took the championship to him self. Gans was a favorite in the betting over Britt at 10 to 6Vi. when the odds should have been the other way from the looks of the fight itself. Tht chances are that Britt will reign fa vorite In the betting throughout, but when he first started Into training he said that he thought he ougnt to ge ren money for his. but whatever the odds are, Jimes is not known to be much of a bettor, even on himself.

BIO LUMBER CARRIERS SCHOONERS AMERICANA AND ELDORADO ARRIVE IN" PORT. Former Is British Built and Gained American Registry Through Annexation of Hawaii. The' British-built steel schooner Ameri cana, which succeeded with a few others in getting American registry at the time of tho annexation of Hawaii, arrived up yesterday morning and made fast to the sand dock. She Is In ballast from San Pedro, and after discharging will move up to the Portland Lumber Company's mill, where she will load back for tho same port. She has room In her hold and on deck for 1,100.000 feet The run up the coast was made In 15 days. Captain Lind holm reports the passage a fino one, the wind being in his favor all the way, but It did not enable him to equal the tlmo of the German ship Carl, which ran up. from Port Los Angeles in 13 days. The well-known schooner Eldorado also arrived up yesterday, mooring at Ban field's dock. She will load about 1,200,000 feet at the Eastern & Western Mill for Shanghai, after discharging her ballast. Captain Smith's log shows a stormy pas sage across from Tslngtau. as was fully reported on the vessel's arrival at Astoria two days ago. The next departure from here in the lumber fleet willl be the schooners Honlpu and Mlndoro, which cleared late yester day afternoon for San Pedro. The former carries 650,000 feet and the latter 900,090 feet. Both secured their cargoes at the Portland Lumber Company's mill. The steamer Aurella, with 150,000 feet of lum ber and 510 tons of wheat, left last even lng for San Francisco. RUNS THROUGH FIVE GALES. Thrilling Experience of Little Sc'ioon- er P. J. Abler. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 17. The llttlo schooner P. J. Abler, which has arrived here from Nome, reports a most tempos tuous voyage In which the vessel and all on board were nearly lost. She had been lying oft Cape Flattery, waiting for a favorable wind. It came up and the ves sel started seaward. She had been out but a few hours when the terrific storm of last Wednesday caught her and blew her 160 miles out to sea. In the course of a few hours she encountered five terrific southcasters. Under a double-reefed fore sail she shot through the water like an arrow from a bow, and was completely at the mercy of the gale Thursday night after the storm had ended she was found by a tug at the entrance to the Sound. She was towed to this port In a badly dls abled condition. Her only passengers, four white men and a Jap, were 111 from tho exposure they had gone through. The vessel was caught In the Ice floes out of Nome, off -ape Espanberg. and for four days was disabled. Then further on tho way down she encountered two south westers In which her sails were torn into shreds, and for three days rocked In the troughs of the sea. Hor sails were re paired and she came on safely until she met the gales off Cape Flatter-. BROKE RIBS ON SHIP'S DECK. Drunken Man Misses the Water in Attempt at Suicide. ASTORIA, Or., Dec 17. (Special.) Two Ineffectual attempts at suicide were made, hero early this morning, and both can be directly attributed to too much booze. Shortly after midnight Nathan Plckcr- nell, of Bay Center, while crazed from drink, ran to the wharf at the foot of Ninth street and Jumped off. Owing to the darkness, however, ho made a mistake and landed on the deck of the lighthouse tender Columbine. He s now at the hos pital having several broken ribs repaired. A few hours later Nellie Lamont, a woman of tho town, who was also lntoxl cated. Jumped overboard from tho wharf at tne loot or &evcnm street. jacK aa.iv eon. the girl's lover, plunged In after her. and, with the assistance of the crowd that soon gathered, succeeded in getting her ashore. These make three attempted suicides In this city within 24 hours. ' French Captain Protests. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 17. When the French ship Jules Gommes arrived in this port the local Custom-House authorities remcasured her and found that she meas ured nearly 600 tons more than her regis ter showed. Tonnage dues were paid at the time on the remeasurement, but now her master. Captain Quatreveax, has filed a notice of an appeal to the Treasury Department on tho ground that he had not been at his home port since the agree ment between France and this country had been reached about the measurement of vessels, and that he has now perma nently marked the portions ofthc vessel that should be free from measurement for tonnage dues.

The oil-laden barkentine Fullerton. which ar rived in today in tow of the steamer Whittler. Is leaking, and her cargo of crude oil Is being transferred to the Whit tler.

(Special.) The O. A. C. football men are at hard practice now for the Christmas game The second team, with fine spirit, takes equal interest with the first in the work of preparation, and there Is no lack of men for scrimmage work, at which the squad has been engaged all week. Coach Steckle Is developing a line or onense tnat differs materially from that used In the game with the University of Oregon and hopes by the arrangement to have the satisfaction of seeing his men cross the Multnomah goal line, an event that rarely happens on Multnomah field. It is said by critics here that the team will be 40 per cent stronger than when It went against the University of Oregon. Bundy Is in his position at guard, ana Root, sound as ever. Is at right half. Captain Pilkington, though on the field every day and part of the time engaged In coaching. Is not counted on for the line-up. In case of his absence. It Is pro vided In the contract with Multnomah that Coach Steckle may be his substitute. which will man every position in the team with men equally formidable as at any time during the season. If the surmise of an Increased strength of 40 per cent over that displayed by the Aggies In the Eugene team be true, In which game the score was 6 for Bugeno and 5 for O. A. C, Multnomah, which defeated Eugene but 7 to 0, ought not to have much advantage of the chances. Many friends will follow the team to Portland to see the play.. HOW TO USE WATCH AS COMPASS Two Methods for People Who Have Lost Their Bearings. I have recently seen a new formula for determining the points of the compass from a watch, says a Toronto reader of Forest and Stream. It Is as follows: "Qet the number of hours from midnight, divide by two, and point the hour at the sun, so that the shadow of a match or lead pencil falls directly across the center of the watch. Twelve o'clock will be north, six south, nine west and three east." I have for many years used another formula, which Is as follows: "Point the small hand of tho watch to the sun, and half way between that and 12 o'clock will be due south." I have submitted both methods to the director of the meterological service here for his opinion, and he saya: "I prefer your method, as it is expressed In fewer words, and is about as accurate as the other. Neither method gives direction with exactness, except at the equinoxes, and the error will be greatest at the sol stices (midwinter and midsummer)." may say that the second method I have found convenient and sufficiently accurate for ordinary purposes. DEFI FOR ONE-ARM SHOOTERS George W. Maxwell, of Holstein, Neb., Backed for Target Match. It will be news to some shooters to learn that . George W. Maxwell, of Holstein, Neb., tho good target shot, has but one arm. Ho met with an accident while shooting quail and lost one arm. Ho did not give up shooting, and by reference to scores made at the late shoot at his home town It will bo noticed that he tied 'Bill" Heir the first day, and camo near doing the trick the second, says an ex change. One-arm shooters are not common, hence the novel ty of the thing has set some of tho Nebraska trapshooters to thinking, and they have decided to issue a. chal lenge for Mr. Maxwell, and will back. him against any one-armed man the world over. Tho conditions, 100 targets, the money purse, anything reasonable. Whilo no names are given, a letter to Georgo Carter, of Lincoln, or William Townsend, of Omaha, will meet with a response. End Season in Debt. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Dec 17. (Special.) At a meeting of tho athletic council. Manager Graham's re port of the -football season was not ac cepted, due to the fact that all bills have not yet been paid. A rough estimate shows that tho total expenditures exceed the total recolpts about 5700. The man agement received $250 from the associ ated students and from the citizens of Eugene, making the total deficit less than $300. which is good when it is con sidered that Graham financed the most expensive schedule ever played by an Oregon football squad. Other routine business was transacted V. W. Tomllnson's resignation as man ager of the track team was not acted upon. Dallas Wins From Albany. DALLAS, Or., Dec 17. (Special.) At a basket-ball game played In the college rymnaslum between tne Albany O. N. G, boys and the Dallas Athletic Club team tho Albany boys were able to throw only one field basket against the home team. The final score was: Dallas, 27; Albany, 7. American Jockey Stands Second.

M'BELDE TALKS FOB '04 BOARD Ex-Oregon Senator Says Award Ques tion Will Not Be Taken to Courts. ST. LOUIS, Dec 17. Ex-United States Senator George W. McBrlde. of Oregon, tho only member of the National "World's Fair Commission now In St. Louis, to night Issued the following statement in regard to the confirmation of Exposition awards: 'The National Commission has asked for the list of awards for approval or disapproval, and if it does not get them will hardly, as representatives of the United States Government, resort to law to compol the Exposition Company to furnish It the opportunity of viewing the lLsts. "Our position was stated in Senator Carter's letter to President Francis. Un less the matter is settled by arbitration, as the rules provide I do not believe the Commission will attempt any further ef forts to establish its rights in the premises. "The public utterances of Dr. Theodore Lewald, the German Imperial Commis sioner to the "World's Fair, in the In terview he gave out on the subject of the awards, must be regarded as official. Its importance is proved by the language of the Interview, In which ho speaks of the views of the Imperial government of Germany. Therefore, when the Imperial Commissioner-General from Germany In tervenes In a contention between the Na tional Commission and the Exposition Company, his statements must be consid ered official, and that fact gives them special significance." GREAT WEAKNESS OF CHINA. Diplomat Shows It Is Her Lack of an Effective Army and Navy. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17. Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister to the United States, tonight addressed the American Academy of Political and Social Science on the subject, "China's Traditional Policy." Among other things he said: "For two thousand years China has not swerved an iota from steadily pursuing a consistent policy of peace. This may be put down to the fact that all the men who have played a prominent part in Chi. nese affairs have Invariably been true fol lowers of Confuclous. "It may be urged that the Chinese peo ple have brought much unnecessary suf ferings upon, themselves by their firm ad herence to the principles of peace. It Is true that they have left their country practically exposed to foreign Invasions. They maintain no effective army; they have no battleships. These weaknesses arc patent to all, but China's strength does not He so near tho surface. "They may be wanting In those showy qualities of mind and body which the people of the Vest admire and cultivate. but they are endowed to an eminent de gree with those hardy virtues which tell most In the struggle for existence, name ly, patience. Industry and thrift." ALDERMAN IS CENSURED. Other Councilmen Find He Dellber ately Injured Their Reputations. CHICAGO, Dec. 17. At a special meet ing of the City Council today, a resolu tion of censure against Alderman Hubert Butler was adopted by a vote of 63 to 5, as the culmination of bribery charges made by him In debate In the Council. The resolution declares Butler guilty of deliberate and malicious and false state ments attacking the Integrity and repu tatlon of his colleagues.
