size n great deal. His chest measurement
now is 80 inches, and his biceps with arm
bent are Az inches. These dimensions are
very large for one Of his height and weight,
but the strength he has gained by their de-
velopment enables him to perform feats on
the flying rings consisting entirely OF arm
work, which, so far, have not been dupli-
Gated by any other amateur. although there
have been many aspirants.
His specialties on the rings are forward
and bach scales, one arm horizontals,
swinging hand balances, the cross and very
slow pull and push ups. He not only has
a monopoly so far as ease and grace OF
movement is concerned, but the combina-
nations In which he commences on one feat
and does not drop from the rings until he
has performed three or four others, making
one movement of the lot, Is where his chief
superiority Is noticed. A number OF good
judges who were present last March when
Stoll won the flying ring championship for
the sixth time said that they had never
seen IA professional who could equal him in
some Of his combinations. On this occa-
sion Stoll won 49, points out of a possible
40, and the other competitors, although
they were high class, seemed almost like
novices alongside OF him.
In 1888 rope climbing was added to the
programme, the game consisting of climb
Ing u certain length OF rope against time.
Stoll won the event, defeating the next
man by two-ffths of a second; but in 1880
and 1890 he had to succumb to the quicker
acting muscles of other men. He thinks
that so much practice in heavy arm exer-
else to acquire proficiency on the flying
rings has mad his muscles too slow for
fast rope climbing.
His build is very suitable for arm work,
for his legs are not heavy, and he therefore
has less weight to support or carry when
on the apparatus. He exercises regularly
certain evenings in n gymnasium and at
tends to a successful jewelry business dur
ing the day. lie Joined the New York
Athletic club a year ago, and since then
has represented 1t in the various competi-

Well, to begin with, the fortunes Of the
