SAYS NO LIVING MAN CAN
DEFEAT BIG B0lLERMAKER

Prof. Gilman Low. the so-called
Modern Hercules who is an anato-
mist of rcnown. declares no living man
can conquer Jcnries. the most Won
derfuI human specimen ne ever In
spcctcd.
Jcnribs has greater length, IN pro-
portion. from his shoulders 70 his el-
bows, from his hips to his knees and
from his ankles 10 his toes than most
men OF his weight and height, Low
says. These are three speed motive
stations OF the human body.
Speed is subject 20 the ratio which
the length OF these three bodily sec
tons bears To the length OF the low
er measurements. namely: From the
elbows to the wrists and from the
knees 20 the ankles. In other words.
Jenrcs has greater length from his
hips 10 his knees than from his knees
to his ankles.
The second reason is the size and
solidIty of his muscles, not. however
forgetting their debility. Their
qualities might be summed up as fol-
lows:
Solidity and mobility, resulting in
activity, and supple bearing or car
riage, and this backed by phenomenal
| strength. Lastly:
JeTries' upper arm Is one inch
/ longer than Johnson's, which gives q
far greater ratio of speed. Also the
/ breadth of his shoulders, compared
with Johnson's, gives him greater
! power especially when reimbursed by
the depth of the chest, as is Jefrics

pansive action OF the lungs. as th'
