HOfLAN FAMOUS HEROES IN SPORTING ARENA Men Who Have Received the Plaudits of Majority of Enthusiasts. LEADERS ARE NOT ALWAYS CHAMPIONS Sullivan, Anion, Sloan Are Pop ular Deepite Their Ad vanced Years. . There arc liaroee bf the hour In every port and often they do not wear the champion's crown. Sometimes they flit past aa the comet of the season. In other cases they win tha plaudits bo cause they are veterans. Sometimes they are renowned and popular aa exponents of good style In their apaclal Held, but not aa great winners, sometimes merely because they often win In defiance of all accepted teneta of food form. Tha propensity to make heroes of them works for good, for It keeps up tha seal of the aspirants. Time Is the only true test of fame In port, and It la difficult In naming .tha Hero of the present In any one recreation to avoid being reminiscent, and to fore cast how the next decade will view the wight In whose honor the cannons are booming now. In automobile racing alone there are no ahadea of the past to be conjured up. Tha hero -at profee etonal motor racing is undoubtedly Bar nay Oldfield, who brings to his. new Held a reputation for daring as a bicycle rider, and i amongv the amateurs the reigning hero of fhe motorists Is W.

Charlie Barr, the popular hero In yachting, is a transplanted Scot, but Hank Haft, who la next to him in pub lic favor, ia a Long Ialander. Thesa are the day a of amateur aktppers in many types of sailing craft, and from the diversity of their yachts there la no one exact scale on which to weigh out their standing In popular fame. The one public test of yachting skill Is the American cup race, and from that standpoint the amateur hero of the aport ia C.

He had 167 win ning mounts twice as many aa his near est rival and is under engagement to J. Yeager who brought him out; H. P. Whltnev and H. B. Duryes. In nearly overlapping periods of renown have been Fuller. Redfern. Shaw. Burns and Odom, not to apeak of other comets of a sea son: but to Hlldebrand. aside from the pre-eminence of the moment, the experts ascribe the merit of being superior to them all ss a horseman. The laat to receive this commenda tion from the experts without a dis senting vote, no matter how they dif fered In other ways regarding him, was Tod Blftan. Ha will rank a a hero of the pigskin even though he may never ride again In a race. Hia renown la International, and so is that of Fred Taral. who also had high rank as a Judge of horses and pace. The Jockeys who have held this double crown of commendation on. our turf, aalde from Hlldebrand, Sloan and Taral. are few. The first was Jimmy Mclaughlln, whose advent broke the supremacy held by Barbee. Feakes, Evans. Hughes and tha other English trained Jockeys, and who was especially superb In the han dling of fidgety two-year-olds. Another was a contemporary of McLaughlin, the colored rider. Isaac Murphy, and deemed his superior as a Judge of pace In dis tance races, and atill another was "Snap per" Garrleon, who had great fame in Ms day In dash races. The late Fred Archer Is held by msny to have been the real turf hero among the century's Jockeys. ' Is Baseball woria. iiQ..i,nii heroes change nearly as quickly as those of the turf. In true popularity with the masses, the great est hero of tha decade has been "Pop" 231 , MAKER or. MENS ClOTMtS I WASHINGTON ST PORTLAND 0ON. Anson, but his renown was largely a per sonal one.

IT WAS EVER THUS WITH YOUNG CORBETT Both Britt and Nelson Are Work ing Faithfully for Com ing Battle. (7 W. W. MaugHton.) (Special OUpmtch bj Leased M ire to Tha J our sail San Francisco, Dec. 10. lias Battling Nalaon been given the proper degree of credit for hla defeat of Young Corbett? I waa present a few nights ago when this question came up for discussion and whan a choleric admirer of tha Durable Dane made the charge that tha critics throughout tha country were ao busy telling their readera bow Corbett "weakened himself pulling off weight" that they could not find time to devote a word of pralaa to Nelaon's fighting talents. This la rather a hard slap at tha gen tleman who else up past and gone pugl llatlo events and not altogether de served, in my opinion. The claim that rapid reduction of weight affected Cor bett's stamina waa advanced by mem bers of Corbett's training staff and was very naturally referred to by the men who made a specialty of aportlng com ment. For the rest, any words of sym pathy that were written In behalf of the Denverlte were a pardonable tribute to a game fellow who met defeat with hla foot at the firing line and hla face to the foe. The sport who argued that 190 many apologies had been made for Corbett and too many slights placed upon Nelson contended that there was never a battle of conaequence In Corbett'a career in which the "weakened by tearing off weight" excuse could not have been for ward if he but had loat. There Is logic In these words, my mas ter. I, for one, cannot remember a big mill for which Corbett d.- not have to make forced marchea by night and also steam out on fight day In order to pro tect his forfeit. It was only a few days before tha affair with Nelaon. In fact, that Corbett, In - referring to hla flrat and greatest surprise party with- Terry McOovern at Hartford, said: "1 made weight for that fellow In the Turkish baths." But enough of Corbett and his weight. It Is the wish of all good sports and true that he be given a chance to prove that his most recent spell of training was the most dehintaitng of all, and as there Is every prospect of a match being arranged between the Denver boy and the winner of the Brltt-Neieon con teat we can afford to drop the subject for a while. Xa Brttt's Olasa. .Candor cnmpela me to Bay that I do not think Battling Nelson has received proper credit for his ring achievements In this respect he Is In the Same boat with Jimmy Brltt. It may be that the fact of the weight of public opinion being against these fellows In most of their contests has had something to do with It, but the truth remains that every time either of them has acored there haa been a dlaposltlon to regard tha victory aa something In the nature of a scratch. The sporting public Is always whimsical In bestowing favors, of course, snd "Bat" or "Jimmy," as the case may be, may de velop into a deml-god, but Just at present It must be admitted that their names lack the magic of those of defeated Terry McOovern and Young Corbett. Still harping on Nelson as a kind of solace to the sport who considers the Dane belittles, I will say that I consider Nelson one of the greatest flghtera of the age. Lean and wiry and carrying not a si. red of waste material, he la one of the strongest lightweights that could be found. He Is aa tough aa whalebone, and while neither showy nor shifty In style, he scores steadily In every conteat he figures In. It has been said that big Jeffries' speed Is best gauged by the rapid manner Nelson's punching ability Is made mani fest by the battered condition of the other fellow's face. He used scarcely anything but bent-arm blows on Cor bett, yet he pounded the Denver young ster's countenance until it was unlovely to look upon. Nelson has fairly earned tha right to be conaldered the king pin of aggresalve flghtera. tie haa made away with Eddie Hanlon. Young Corbett and Aurella Her rera. Were Brltt a scrapper of the same order aa thesa mentioned, Nelaon would In all probability rule favorite In the contest which Is to take place on the night of December 20. Out In this psrt of the country Brltt Is regarded as a versatile rlngster. He la quite at home at cloaa fighting, but ha llkea to Introduce a little variety Into the milling. He will not try to make of every round one long rally, as Corbett did, snd It Is believed his knowledge of all-round fighting la sufficient to offset Nelson's never-say-dle tactics, snd thus make tha chances look equal. Some one started a rumor to the ef fect that Brltt would not agree to box "straight Queensbery rules." and for a few hours Nslson, who leaves free work above all methods of milling, was per turbed In spirit. At Jimmy's Headquarters. A vlatt to Brltt'a training quarters made It apparent that there was no causa for uneaalneaa. "I didn't say anything about wanting clean breaks and all that kind of thing," said Brltt. "Whatever sulta Nelaon aulta ma." Upon hearing this Msnager Teddy Murphy, who reports Nelson, telephoned the glad tidings to the durable Dane and the small cloud which threatened the match disappeared. Brltt Is coming along nicely with his training out In his Seal Rock camp by tha ocean beach. He will be required to make 111 pounds by o'clock on De cember 10, the date of his contest with Nelson, and he Is within two pounds of the notch now. It simply goes to show that Jimmy's mind will be free from all worry on the score of weight this trip, and as Nslson can do 112 with greater ease than Brltt. If anything, the rival flghtera will be able to devote their entire time to perfecting their wind and getting their muscles Into working order. Brltt spends a deal of his tlma on the park roads, and he haa for traveling companlona "Tlv" Krellnr and Frank Rafael. The day's outing ronalata of a 10-mtle Journey, and on the return to camp tha trio attire themselves In swim mlng salts and take a roll In the break ers. Brltt regards hla dally aplash In the salt water as the finest kind of a bracer. Ha aaya he never dreamed the wavea oould hit ao hard, and aa he la the color of a cooked ahrlmp when he emerges from the brine, It Is very evident that there la punishing power in the big walla of water which fall upon him. Jimmy has his gymnasium over the spacious dancing pavilion at tha beach, and ha uaes tha same punching bag platforma and the same shower that Jake Ktlratn used when training t litre, for Oeorge Oodfrey many years ago. Ha la thoroughly pleaaed wltn hla aur roundlnga, and Judging from his ap pearance and manner, there will be no flawa In hla condition whan ha atrlpa for battle. Nelson is Just about getting Into har ness again at his quarters in Larkspur. While he did not announce It, It Is very likely, that the sinewy Dane felt stiff add sore after hla strenuous bout with Young Corbett. Ha waan't punlahed aa hfa opponent waa, of courae, but It la doubtful If - there is a pugl.-st living who could Infuse aa much arm action Into 10 rounds of milling and not feel tha affects of It Nelson is naturally a lathy fellow, and being of an athletic turn. It would be next to Impossible to oatch him napping in the matter of condition. He will be Joined by Eddie Santry tomorrow, and then tha walla of Smiling Me tier's physical culture establishment will re sound with the shuffle of feet and the patter of -boxing gloves.

'sasl gaggfl a &7 WHAT LONDON PAPER SAYS ABOUT NEIL Claim Made that Ex-Bantam Champion Is Poor Spec imen of Fighter. The latest Isaue of tha Mirror of Life, a London aportlng paper, which devotee special attention to boxing, which has reached this country, contains the opin ions of the editor on the reoent Krankle Nell-Joe Bowker fight. Speaking of Nell's boxing, the editor of the Mirror of Life says: "As a boxer Frankie Nell la about the poorest specimen I have even seen. His knowledge 6f the art la abaolutely nil, and his only Idea Is to bury his chin In his chest, cover up both sldea of his Jaw with his gloves, bend his shoulders forward so that his 'little Mary' Is dif ficult to reach, and then walk In, re gardless of punishment. In the hope of landing a pile driver. 'Concerning headwork and footwork he la aa Ignorant as Is an Eskimo, and several times during the contest went sprawling Into the ropes when Bowker slipped him. But what a punch ha has! It Is a hook, and It comes with the whole force of his body at the head or tha mark. " "Seldom have I aeen ao much power put behind a blow by such a little fel low. He never quite reached a vulner able point In his bout with Bowker. but even then he managed to hurt the Eng lishman when he hit him. and Joe wfll remember those rib benders for a vary long time. "It Is quite easy to understand how such an unjicisntlflc youngater Is cham pion of America. They ara all mora or less rough-and-tumble fighters In the states, and he la simply tha hardeat and strongest of the bunch. "Any one who will go In and mlx It' with him la sure to come off second best, and that Is Just why he did not best Bowker. "Tha latter kept milling on the re treat at long range, and It was only at long Intervals that Nell was able to get to cloae quartora, and then so smart was the Englishman that he never gave his opponent a chance of finding the mark or the point."

Or., Dec. 10. It Is learned that 487 ducka were killed a day or two ago on baited ponda acroas tha Wil lamette from Corvallla. The hunters were the four Hurlburt brothers, who have considerable of a reputation as sportsmen, and a cousin of theirs. O. D. Hurlburt. of Pendleton, who arrived to participate in the aport. Live decoys were used, these being tied for a time, but afterward being re leased, having become accustomed to ths place and the feed. Many sacks of grain were scattered on the ponds of which the Hurlburts keep up four on their farms. Thla la the largest bag of game aver taken by five hunters In a single day'a shooting hereabouts. A part of the ducks, most of which ware Mallards, were sold In Corvallla and Al bany, the rest going to Portland. FOOTBALL FUMBLES. Tha Willamette football eleven gave Multnomah the hardest game of tha aeason on the local field. Chauncey Bishop deserves the highest praise for the splendid showing that his team made. Dave Jordan and Eddie Dowllng played their usual good games. Jor dan's work was of a high order. Stow was a tower of strength to Mult nomah's line In defense, and was a pip pin In gaining ground. Klrkley, Ross and Seeley worked very hard. "Dad" Orleve played a perfect game at center. Dad cannot ba Improved upon. It cannot be said that tha M. a a . . team played with any con; stency at all. Tha first half and part of the sec ond was a stupid exhibition. There were several very careless plays tried at critical times In the second half. With all respect to the officials yes terday, It must be said that their work was not satisfactory. Mr. Rudy was much superior to Oercher, but then, well, enough said. Lonergan again demonstrated his worth by playing a star game. Dolph was there with tha mighty plunges.

SAM STOW MADE THE SOLITARY TOUCHDOWN The One Score Was Earned by Hardest Kind of Line As saults. In the hardest played game on Mult nomah field this season, fraught with the most Intense excitement, college spirit and club loyalty, tha Multnomah club's football 'varsity defeated tha agile and well trained eleven that repre sents Willamette university, yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. Although Multnomah won on her mer its, the score of six to nothing does not . disparage In tha leaat tna splendid ex hibition of football that waa put up by tha young men, who were trained to tha minute by Chauncey 1 shop. The flrat half was In a great measura similar to that which was played by Multnomah In the flrat half of tha Thanksgiving contest with Oregon. It looked as If Multnomah could not con centrate her attack with any degree of efficiency. Her back field started In customary style, but upon reaching tha line encountered the most stubborn op position. Time and again the Multno mah backs would be atoppad as If they had struck a atone wall. From the manner In which the club men started out It looked as If the game would be a one-sided conteat. but tha dogged resistance of the Willamette for wards proved so effective and disorgan ising to Multnomah's advance that the local men aoon realised that they were up agalnat a trained eleven. On tha klckoff Multnomah, through Lonergan. 11 Tan and Stow, carried the pigskin 35 yards by rapid plunging and diagonal masses on Willamette's tackles. With things looking like a touchdown In a few minutes, Multnomah's right half back fumbled and the visitors took tha ball. By a series of well organized at tacks on Multnomah's Una and outslda of tackle, tha young man from Salem aoon mused the spectators Into a de lirium of Joy by advancing ths ball 28 yards into home territory. Hera Mult nomah took a brace and held, compelling her opponents to kick. Lonergan caught the punt, and by magnificent dodging returned the ball 25 yards before being downed.
