It seems peculiar the way some of
these English boxers become homesick
after being In this country a short time.
A month ago Sid Smith. the English ban

Marchant and his manager, w. e. Ames,
to meet Johnny Coulon for the bantam
weight title. was taken with sudden
desire to return home, and before Man.
ager Ames knew what he was about
Smith had boarded one Of tho steamers
and sailed for Liverpool. This was after
he had two fights In the east, winning
both of them easily. Now comes Billy
Marchant.. who has won eight straight
fights, and was In a position to work up
a match with Johnny Kilbane. Billy
must have gotten the fever from Smith.
for he, decided suddenly that he wanted
to return home. and there was<nothing
for Manager Ames to do but engage
passage on the Mauretania and go back
to the land Of Johnny Bull. Marchant
had made a splendid showing In this
country. and was in line for some big
matches. but the temptation to get back
among his friends was too strong.

For o man who has been beaten as
often as Jim Sullivan. the English cham
pion. it is hard to understand how he
manages to keep getting matches for the
title. Sullivan was first beaten for the
title last May by Billy Papke, but it

and claimed to be the rightful holder. He
was beaten again by George Carpenter.

fact Sullivan is looking for another match

with the English title as the stake. The
fact is, Sullivan has no right to compete
for the English championship. which
rightfuily belongs to Carpenter, the
Frenchman, since Billy Papke declined
to go over to England again to defend

Efforts have been made to match Eddy
