ANOTHER SET OF MEASUREMENTS.

The first measurements •of Jeffries that have been taken since he retired from the fighting game were taken by Farmer Burns at • the Rowardennan camp yesterday) says the San Francisco "Chronicle" of April 27. These measurements are of little importance taken alone, perhaps, but when compared with measurements .of Johnson, taken just prior to his fight with Stan- ( ley. Ketchel,'they will give, a good line' •on the two men. Some of the measurements as given will doubtless be a surprise. .to the'fol-: lowers of tho games. Here are figures showing how tho retired heavy-weight and the present champion stack.up: JEFFRIES. . JOHNSON. 6 feet liin Height . 6. feet Jin. 18 inches Neck 171 inches 45 inches Chest' (normal)' 39 inches 50 inches ... .Chest (expanded) ... 42 inches 35 inches Waist 30 inches' 26 inches Thigh 23 inches 17 inches Oalf 15 inches 10 inchcs Ankle 9J inchcs 16 inches ' Biceps 16 inchcs 13 inches :... Forearm 14 inchet 8} inches Wrist 105 inches 228 pounds Weight 212 pounds 35 years Age 32 years . This shows in the main, Jeffries is all round a bigger man than his opponent. Tho retired champion has an advantage in height of an inch and is bigger about the body. In only one particular is Johnson" the physical _ superior of the white man, and that is in the size of. his. arm. These measurements, it will be seen,: differ slightly from those in the diagram.'
