He does not look much like a Pougilist, does he? Those great jowls are not like the lean, finely trained jaws of the fit to the minute athlete, are they? But in his day they all bowed to John L., the mightiest Roman of them all. For 12 years his massive fists plowed through guards to jaws, and no one could be found to stand before him. The career of Sullivan has been *mupertntious. He has earned and pent a million. He has been Married three thoes, and his pres ent divorce brought to light an expression of opinion from him, likening matrimony to what Sher man said war was. Big bodied, big souled, big hearted, despite the mistakes he has made, John JL. Sullivan io to day, perhaps, the most popular man that ever crawled through the ropes of a squared ring to decide a question of fistic supremacy. In his old age, with the snows of many winters on his head, he is preaching temperance. And sure ly no man should know its value more than the “Boston boy.” JOHN bk, SULLIVAN
