 So, without preliminary, said to him:
 'why don't you retire from the ring, MT. Sullivan?"
 The question seemed to take away the breath of John l.. for a few mom- ents. All he could do for a while was to look at me in an incredulous way. At last, he beloved:
 Retire? Retire? Why should I retire?"
 John l.. all through the years of his pugilistic greatness felt that he could whip any living man. And he made good as cham pion. So, it was but natural that the question, coming from "kid" should startle-and anger him.
 ''You have gained all the honor that you possibly can gain in the ring" I said. You've got fairly sizeable bankroll now and if you re- tire undefeated you'Il be sure to make a lot more money in stage work. If you retire now you'll quit unbeaten." And then as John L. remained si lent, I ventured:
 MT. Sullivan, you are getting along in years. You're 32 now and if you keep on fighting a few years longer,
 
 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- tainIy disturbed the champion As I finished speaking John l.. leaned for ward. fixed me the glance that had sent terror into the heart of his ring foes. and snapped:
 "You've got lot of nerve, young felIow-a mighty lot of nerve. AS for retiring-never! And that goes"
 John L. had misconstrued my pur- pose. He was so confident in his power that he couldn't see what I could see-and what many others could see. John l.. no longer was the superb physical being who had gained world wide fame through the sos. Billy Muldoon had whipped him into great shape for the Kilrain bout in 1889 but in the time that had elapsed since then John l.. had re- turned somewhat to his old habits and was slipping from the splendid condition that Muldoon's training had made possible.
 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 you. 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 beloved reply. "I want you to know that John L. Sullivan will do all his own fighting"
 "very well,' replied. You know your own business best. But I want you to know that my suggestion was inspired only by my admiration for you and my desire to see you quit the ring an unbeaten champion There aren't many men lefuSfor you to fight and I'm going to*try to take on and whip all those fellows who are chal- longing you. Jackson has been the most insistent; I'm going to fight him or May 21st and I have feeling that when the fight is over the negro neV- CT again can be figured as of real
