S So, without preliminary, T said to him: “Why don’t you retire ring, Mr. Sullivan?” The question seemed to take away the breath of John L. for a few mom- ents. All he could do for a while we to look at me in an incredulous way. At last, he bellowed: “Retire? Retire? retire?” John L. all through the years of his c greatness felt that he could ny living m And he made s champion. So, it was but natural that the question, coming from a “kid” should startle—and anger him. “You have gained all the that you possibly can gain ring,” I said. *Youwve got a fairly sizeable bankroll now and if you re tire undefi ed you’ll be sure to make a lot more money in stage work. If you retire now vou'll quit unbeaten.” And then John L. remained lent, I venturec “Mr. Sullivan, you are getting along in years, You're 32 now and if you keep on fighting a few years longer, somebody will come along and whip you.” John L.’s face had become a sav- age scowl No man ever talked to him as I did that night and it cer- tainly disturbed the champion.

John L. had been my idol since early boyhood and I admired him too much to want to see him whipped by any man. Yet I felt that if the champion continued in the ring a few years longer somebody would get him. So I said to him. “Well, then let me fight those fel- lows who are challenging vou. I think I can whip them. Tell those who want to fight you to take me on first. If I can’t beat them, then you can take a crack at them.” “Young fellow,” was the bellowed reply. *“I want you to know that John L.
