lightweight is at present at Sleeps

Sullivan is looking extremely well aAld
has taken on a lot Of weight since he
was here last Sullivan has been
more or less successful in England.
He engaged in over six fights, win
min them all with the exception of his
two scraps with Jabez White, the pres
ent English lightweight champion.
they met before the National Sporting
club, London, and White was returned
the winner on points each
time. Sullivan speaks well of
Whites powers as pugl-
list. but does not think he can defeat
Joe Cans. Sullivan says that if the
pair ever meets Cans will knock
White out before the limit is reached.
Sullivan does not intend to remain in
America long. He expects to return
to England in October or November
next In the meantime Spike adds
that he is ready to make matches with
anybody his weight, 40 pounds. Sui
livan's last fight in England was with
Bobby Dobbs, whom he defeated in a
twenty round bout.
After many weeks Of uncertain
speculation it seems that Ben Jordan,
the English featherweight, will come
to this country within "a couple of
weeks to meet Young Corbett. Cor
bett has received a cablegram from
the Englishman stating that he would
sail for America within two weeks
and would be ready to fight any time
after two months. That is, the Eng
1ishman wants at least six weeks
time to get himself into condition for
the fray.
Judging from the London Sporting
Life Jack O'Brien did not go to Eng
land with the ostensible purpose of
fighting Jack Palmer, the English mid
leweight champion. O'Brien made
the trip on pleasure bent. but says
that he will not throw any chances

O'Brien's go with Palmer is still in
allegiance. and the battle will not take
take place until the first week in Sep
