ceps, 1871 inches; calf, 15T inches;
thigh, 81 inches.
Men have been known to speak Of
Jake Kilrain "a jaw fighter" but
nothing coul be more unjust. He is
In every way foeman worthy Of the
great John l.. Taller than sullivan,
herculean in build, skillful wrestler
and good general, Jake is a worthy
aspirnnt for championship honors. II
Is peculiar coincidence that both John
and Jake gained their fistic knowledge
in Boston, and shat In the earlier
stages OF their careers both had the
Same hackers and managers. II is al+o
coincidence that both had attained
manhood's estate before tho discovery
of their Astic superiority was made.
