FIGURES SHOW FOES
ARE WELL MATCHED


Physical mea surements of Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney, taken
shortly before they completed their
training for the championship battle
in Philadelphia Thursday, reveal how
closely the title holder and his chal-
lenger matched.
The figures show that Dempsey had
a six-pound advantage while at the
height of the conditioning workouts,
but this difference is likely to be mar
rowed by the time they step into the
ring.
Tunney has a half-inch advantage
in height and Dempsey the same mar
