One of the ambitions of Kid Taylor's
life was to meet John l.. Sullivan. He
yearned to grasp the hand of the
great fighter and, to talk to the great
monolith OF pugilism. For years he
hoped, but hoped in vain. to be intro
duced to Sullivan, but fortune thwart-
ed him. Finally, to his intense de-
light, his manager notified him that
John l.. Sullivan was to be in town
the next day, and that he would take
Taylor to the hotel the next day for
II formal presentation.
Great was the joy of Taylor. lie
didn't sleep that night and was up be-
times Ia the morning, getting dlked
out for the great event When he
met his manager downtown. he was
arraycd like the lilies of King Solo
mon. In dressy black cutaway, white
vest, purple tie with large diamond
yellow gloves, patent leather shoes,
Alpine fu22 hat and n Malacca cane.
The manager escorted Taylor to the
hotel where John l.. was stopping and
they assembled to the warriors rooms.
John greeted the manager with cor
duality and the Kid stood spellbound
gazing upon the hero he had so long
yearned to behold. Presently the man
ager spoke:
mfr. Sullivan" said he, permit me
to introduce one of our classic ST
young boxers, Kid Taylor"
The delighted Kid timidly extended
his hand. but John l.. diiNnot seem to

paw gently upon the younger mans

Then, in that great rumbling voice OF
his. John l.. spoke forth:

KID TAYLOR AND JOHN L.

OF all the fighters who ever pulled
on the padded gloves there was none
perhaps so handsome as Kid Taylor,
II gallant little fellow. who in his time
made war from Boston to st. Louis.
The Kid. starting as bantam, is
now a lightweight of good renown-
not champion. but near the top and
not long ago the real instructor and
teacher of Ad Wolgast, who was des-
tined to excel his tutor.
Kid Taylor-nom de bilr-was u BO-
hemian-and his real name was Josef
Dole2al. He was almost too pretty
to fight-such was the universal opin-
ion-but the Kid could hold his own
against the fierCest mixing. Head
shaped like that of II Greek god: eyes
like the gaaelle of Sahara; white
teeth, pink and white complexion,
wavy black hair and "A beautifully pro-
portiOned form-such was the Boz
hemian crackerjack, handsomest fig
ure that ever leaped into staked
arena. His good looks did not pre-
vent him from being II warrior, and
he brought home the bacon in vast
majority of some 200 battles.
The Kid was formerly untutored
aud green, but he learned with speed.
They tell, with glee, how on his first
trip away from home. AZ he lay in
his sleeper berth, he heard the cry of
"Breakfus' am now served in the din

was breaklast-just rs in his home
