WHAT "TAD" THINKS
OF THE BIG FIGHT
Says Britt Outgeneraled
Dane at Every Stage of
Battle.
NELSON WAS ALWAYS
READY TO MIX IT
Chicagoan Forced Britt Continu
ally, But Footwork
Saved Jimmy.
In his dearrlptton of th Brltt-Nelaon
flgin. T. A. Dorcan, th noted sporting
canoomsi. nas (lie following to say:
"Britt won. but Nelson haa not lost a
rriend by the tight he put up last nlg-nt.
Me did as they aspected, and If Britt
had not used all the rlvrnsa that he
ver learned there might have been a
different decision. As a tighter, punch
for punch. Nelson has no equal, but Britt
was not very anxious to show what a
terrible puncher he Is and Just Jabbed
and held th Dan untu he waa out of
danger.
"It was a runaway. Jab. clinch fight
from th time th gong sounded, and on
round was as much Ilk another as it
could have been. Nelson, fell of fight
aa a gam cock, lowered his head and.
went after Brttt. who backed away all
around the ring. Th Dane waa after
him and no matter how hard Brltt's ter
rible UK ot his deadly right lsnded.
Nelson was Just as aggressive and full
of tight.
"His game was to get close to Britt.
lower his head and bang away with both
hands for th body. H has beaten all
his uther opponents this way and Britt,
who Is an aggressive fellow himself,
was expected to tight back punch for
punch. He fooled the majority, how
ever, and for the first time in his Ufa
Jabbed, held the Dan until there was
no dancer In ths break, and than Jump
away. He was hlaaed and hooted re
peatedly for his cautious work, but h
had his plan of battle mapped out, and
In the end proved to be th wiser of the
two.
"Britt had seen this gent Nelson In
battle before and. if man like Herrera
and Corbett couldn't stand toe to to
and beat him. h knew that It would be
rank foolishness for him to try It. Ths
men boxed Nelson and held ths lead
and he looked so easy to hit that they
thought a little slugging might drop
him. There la no drop to the Dane, and
round after round he became stronger
until the other men were but mere toys
in his hands. Britt outjabbed him and
danced away. He had no desire to get In
and try to end the battle. It la a lucky
thing for Mr. Britt that he did not stand
there and proceed to knock that tow-
head off.
"Regardless of what the gallery said.
Britt Just fought his battle as he had It
planned, and only once or twice during
the go did h stand there toe to toe and
slug. He was the same cool, cautious
Britt from the time the gong rsng un
til the finish of th fight.
"Nelson started off the light In his
same aggressive manner. H lowered his
head and with his hands up over his fsc
waded" into the local lad, trying his
best to gat In clos at th body. Britt
would Jab; then Nelson let fly with both
hsnds for the body. Britt grabbed, then
held on tight snd, when h saw the
chance. Jumped away aa he would from
a dynamite bomb. They clinched all
around th ring, and there waa no break
until Referee Roche Jumped in between
and pulled them apart. Nelson forced
the local lad all over the ring, and Britt
seemed content to dance away, occasion
ally Jabbing or shooting a right to th
body.
fn the second they went at It exactly
aa the first round had been fought Nel
son ever ready to mix, but Britt grab
bing his arms aftsr Jabbing on OS or
twice and holding tight until the referee
pulled and tugged for a break. Here
Roche, seeing that he waa to have a busy
evening, took off the Tuxedo suit and
threw It out to a friend at th ringside.
The crowd yelled for James to got In
a slug Instead of dancing away, but hs
knew his plans and regardless of what
wag hurled at him Just danced. Jabbed
and danced away again. Nelson was
wild and forced him on a run from cor
ner to corner. Brttt swung his left, but
most of the time It was either on Nel
son's arms or head and when It did land
seemed to have no affect whatever on
the boy from Chicago. He can stop any
kind of a punch they let fly and still
com fast. His tow-head - bobbed and
swayed, but never for a moment did
he stop forcing the crafty Britt."
FOOTBALL FUMBLES.
After th game on Monday Manager
Watkina will antartaln both football
eleven by giving them a box patty at
th Columbia theatre. Manager Wat
kina and Manager Ballard mad ar
rangements for seven boxes for th oc
caslon, th production being "The Char
ity Ball."
The color of th Agrtcs Is orange.
That combination ought to be a splendid
Incentive to such Saxons as "ixmnie,
Kddle." "Harry," "John" and "Davle.'
Aa stated in Monday's Journal, W.
Lair Thompson and "Count" Villa have
been chosen Ao officiate at Monday s
game.
Monday's gam will be called at 1:10
sharp, so that it will be over before
dark.
It la estimated that fully 4,000 spec
tators will turn out for the Christmas
game. Preparations have been mad to
handle a big turnout.
H. Martin Pratt arrived Thursday
and looks hale and hearty. Mart la be
loved by all and feared by all opponents.
It la hinted at Harvard that th re
election of Hurley to the football cap
taincy may not be ratified by the faculty
athletic committee. It haa not been the
custom to allow a man to captain a unl
varsity team two years in succession,
and In Hurley's case the argument is
raised that It would be forming a prece
dent not wholly desirable. Hurley will
go back next fall to the medical school
but whether he Is allowed to captain
th eleven or not, h will surely be I
member of th eleven. ,
De Baulles, th former Tale quarter
back, la another strong advocate of new
rules that will produce more, open play
He aays that th gam has become
nothing but a series of mass plays, and
that these formations should be radical
ly dealt with. Alt through the eastern
colleges the cry for reform In the rules
has been taken up. waiter Camp's sug
geetlon as to a new 10-yard rule haa met
with a great deal of favorable criticism
so much so that at the coming meeting
of the Intercollegiate rules committee
the proposed rule will come up for serl
ous consideration. College politics out
some figure in this rule-making busi
ness, and what one big university advo
cates is often opposed by another be
cause of the belief that some hidden mo-
tlv is at the bottom of th suggestion
But college politics will have to tax a
back seat, aay th football reformers,
and the rules committee will be com
pelled to take the bull by the horns. "Let
them kill mass plays," say the reform
ers, "and do It, not by half-way meas
ures, but by some radical rule euch aa

three yards apart from one another.

James A anew, business manager of
the Seattle baseball, club haa returned
horn from th Pacific Coast league
meeting, and In a statement to a Seattle
paper gives soma Information regard
ing th Slwash program next season.
According to Mr. Agnew, Seattle will
.have It weeks at home, three with each
of th other five clubs and will play
SI weeks abroad, three In Portland and
Tacoma and five each In Oakland, Ban
Francisco and Los Angeles. Three
weeks of Seattle here next year will be
greatly pleaalng to the local fans, for
In the past two. seasons Seattle has
visited Portland twice each year, and the
extra aerlea this year will give the local
enthusiasts a chance to become better
acquainted with our neighboring rivals.
Mr. Agnew further states that Jerry
Freeman will play first base for Seattle
next year and that Harry Oleason of
the St. Louis National league team may
be secured br Manager Hall to take
Kid Mohler's place at second. Shields,
C. Hall and Hughes will be three of the
twlrlers. while Nick Williams Is not
a certainty for Russ Hall haa an offer
from Manager McCreedle of Portland
to trade Phil Nadeau for th pitcher
and Hall la thinking seriously of ac
cepting. Seattle playa two games with
the Chicago National league team during
the spring training season.

Walter McCreedle, while In San Fran
cisco, witnessed the Brttt-Nelson battle,
and states that In his opinion Referee
Roche's decision was correct, for Brttt
out-fought the Dan at all stages.
Th question of where Joe Corbett Is
to play next year Is again being agitated.
Fred Hanlon of Brooklyn Is again play
ing th role of claimant, and how he la
to be appeased Is now troubling Hank
Harris.
Parke Wilson announced yesterday
that his assistant behind th bat next
season would be Danny Shea, the
scrappy backstop who caught part of
the season for Portland. The old adage
about a prophet being without honor In
his own country applies to Shea aa well
as to dosens of other players. Shea la
a Portland boy who has only been given
work at home whan th club coulu find
nobody else to catch. In th opinions
of many fans who have seen him work
at Recreation perk he Is a cleverer artist
than some of the backstops the Portland
club Imported from the far east at
fuicy sslariee. Danny caught a few
gamee from the Seals on their last trip
north, and his work wss mgnly spoxen
of at that time. San Francisco Bulletin.
Bill Everett, who played with an In
dependent team in Colorado last year, la
slated to cover nrst for Denver next
year. He Is not aa aupple as he onoe
was, but he can still sting the ball.
Steve Asche, the veteran baseball
player, who-recently committed suicide,
was a one tlms partner of J. Ira Davla
In a cafe. Asche was formerly a pitcher
In th national league and waa rated aa
one of the best slabsters of his day.

In one of the prettiest wrestling ex
hlhltions ever seen In this city, after
63 Va minutes of actual wrestling, un
der the conditions of the match McMU

by Two Feathers aftsr 10 minutes of

was given to McMillan by the referee,
the Indian's shoulders war partly on

Nw York. Dec 14. Tom Sharkey,
the pugilist, la ths lateet exponent of
might and brawn to learn deep respect
for Jlu-Jltsu. Sharkey Investigated the
unassuming, harmless looking Japanese
art today under the guidance of Tatsu
guml HlgaahL When the two met
Sharkey looked at th diminutive Jap
anese much as he would at' a child, with
a smile of pity on his face.
There Is a difference of almost a foot
between their height, while Sharkey
weighs more than twice as much aa
Hlgaahi. As they came together the
Japanese smiled confidently as Sharkey
reached down and started catch-as-catch-can
tactics. He waa allowed to get a
hold which to the spectators looked bad
for the little fellow. Every one ex
pected to see the big sailor fall on his
opponent and crush him. With one of
his quick turns, Hlgashl raised Sharkey
from the floor, held him In the air and
the next moment planted him oh his
back en the floor.
Several times the pugilist tried his
best known tricks, but always with ths
same result.

the bill at the Columbia theatre for
Christmas week, beginning tomorrow
afternoon matinee and lncudlng a Christ
mas matinee Monday afternoon. Tonight
la the last performance of the Columbia
company's beautiful production of Ca

comment in town.
Marquarn's Christmas Attraction.
Miss Maxlne Elliott In th successful
Clyde Fitch comedy, will be the Christ
mas attraction at the Marquam Grand
theatre next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights.
The play contains an unusual scene.
showing four children at a birthday
party in the nursery. These children
of the rich discuss their elders In smart
language that savors of Mr. Fttph. and
otherwise provea very amusing and en
tertaining.
Manager Charles B. Dillingham will
present Miss Elliott here with th same
strong cast seen In New York. In th
list of principals are Included Charles
Cherry. James Carew. R. C. Herx.
Georgia Lawrence, Nellie Thorne, Fanny
Addison Pitt and little Donald Gallaher,
clever Juvenile.
Seats are now selling.
current program will last only today and
tomorrow, and on Monday will give way
to a bill that will fittingly cloee the
year. The matchless quality of th aew
bill will be recognised by the public at
once. Look to the Sunday Journal to
see the announcement In full, and then
wonder how such attractions can be
offered In a theatre which chargee only
10 cents admission.
The "Princess Chic."
"Ths Princess Chic," easily the best
musical production of the season In
Portland and ths best company that has
svsr appeared In the popular opera, la
being presented at th Marquam this
afternoon and will conclude Its engage
ment tonight. Although this la the
poorest week for business at ths thea
tres, the attraction named has caught
on so forcibly that the advance sale for
tonight has been large.
For the first tlms In many years
football sleven and Its rooters will In
vade this city in an artistically deco
rated special train, next Monday morn
ing, th occasion being the coming of
the Oregon Agricultural college
that will meet Multnomah on th
afternoon. From th accounts received
from th classlo city of Corvsllls it la
fair to assume that the preparation for
Monday'a game exceed all other pre
vious affairs in this line and th agri
cultural students ar anxious that the)
occasion should be fittingly celebrated.
The sole ambition of th Corvsllls
student Is to vanquish Multnomah, and
by doing so gala the honors for the
football season In th northwest- Cor
vsllls studsnts thoroughly appreciate
the fact that It Is no easy teak to sand
a team to Portland that can succeed
again Multnomah, ft Is this knowl
edge In hand that prompted O. A. C. to
settle down to the hardest kind of work
In order to accomplish the object of
Monday's visit.
Multnomah Is wall advised regarding
the formldableneas of ths "Farmers
and have not been Idle as regards thor
ough preparation for the meeting- Cap
tain Dowllng haa had hie men out in
force this week, excepting laat night,
when a reet waa taken. Every play In
the team's repertoire waa tried out and
given special attention. Several new
plays were added, making .the list of
strong, available plays long enough for
any match. Multnomah expect to de
feat t'orvallls by at least one touch
down. The Corvallls aggregation are
betting that -Multnomah cannot score.
With these conditions in view, those who
are not too timid to lay a wager ought
surely be able to grab On to a good
slsed stack of coin when the "Farmera"
come '
Ths visitors will be accompanied by
their crack band of 11 pieces In order
to further demoralise the club men on
the gridiron.
The line-up for both teams has not
