   WHO WAS MAJOR TAYLOR?  Marshall W. "Major" Taylor, who lived in
Worcester, was world cycling champion in 1899 and American sprint champion
in 1900.  Known as "the Worcester whirlwind" and "the colored cyclone," he
was the second black world champion in any sport (the first was bantamweight
boxer George Dixon in 1891).
