Men Who Have Received the
Plaudits of Majority of
Enthusiasts.
LEADERS ARE NOT
ALWAYS CHAMPIONS
Sullivan, Anion, Sloan Are Pop

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

Rowing may claim an epoch maker
a its hero of the fcour. Thle Is Scholes
of Toronto, who, besides being a former
amateur champion of America, la now a
true International champion as the win

at Henley. Besides. Scholes Is a true
leader In his sport from the tests of

and methods. His style Is Ideal and tha
one that every aspirant who aeeka fame

many types of sailing craft, and from

The popularity of Jockeya ahlfta as
quickly as that or great race norses. jni
hero of the moment is Hlldebrand, a boy
who can make 95 pounds and at a con
servative estimate earned ISO. 000 In
wages laat season. 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. '

HAS NELSON BEEN
GIVEN FULL CREDIT
Corbett's Friends Try to Detract
from the Dane's
Glory.
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.

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."

RECORD SHOOT OF
THE DUCK SEASON
(Special Dlapatab to The Journal.) j
Cor vail is. 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.

tle Against Experienced
Club Men.
SAM STOW MADE THE
SOLITARY TOUCHDOWN

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

masses on Willamette's tackles. With
things looking like a touchdown In a

her opponents to kick. Lonergan caught
the punt, and by magnificent dodging
