BROWN, BUTLER
 WELL MATCHED
Measurements and Weights of Headliners Show
 Little Preference

Figures on weights and meas urements Of Ford Butler and Sinclair Brown, who will fight for the championship of Alaska in the main bout of the Moose Smoker Saturday evening, show them to be well and evenly matched

 Brown, standing at , feet, II 12 inches, has Butler topped by one half inch, while his reach is 75 inches, IA inches longer than that of Butler Butler has q normal chest of 39 5IS which he can expand to 42, while Brown S measurements are 39 and AZ F inches.
 Both are well museled. Butler has a 121 F inch arm bicep, 12 ia inch forearm, while his other measurements are: thigh, 22 in- ches, calf, 15 A inches, ankle, 9 inches and neck 15M inches. Browns arm figures are II F and II, while he has a 21-inch thigh, 15 A inch calf, 9A inch ankle and a 16-inch neck

Another bond has been created be-

Col. Charles Russell. former chief of
the Irish Free State air corps TO the

It vas learned that already plans are
IN the making for an 'Ail-Irish Flight"
In 1928. but it also was intimated that

ceiv / $4,000 more from the oil man,
but insisted II was for Improvement Of
the property OF which Sinclair was then
part owner.
Acts Of FAN Not Used.
Much of the testimony introduced
at the Fall-Sinclair trial concerned
only acts of Fall and could not be used
against the oil operator. However,
the Government introduced much
testimony that others had made efforts
to obtain all or part of the Teapot
Dome lease and that their efforts were
without success. Those witnesses said
that the negotiations between Fall and
Sinclair had been surrounded with
secrecy.
On the ruling of Justice Bailey will
depend whether the Government will
call Edward L. Doheny, jr, as wit
ness to tell of his trip carrying 100000
from his father to Fall in a little
black satchel." A bribery indictment
against him was nolle pressed yester-
day TO permit him TO testify.
The questions Justice Bailey has
under consideration are whether the
Government shall be allowed to intro
duce testimony on payment of $25,~
900 in Liberty bonds to Fall. and
whether it can introduce testimony con-
cernins the Elk Hills lease given TO the
elder Dohcny Both transactions took
place after the time charged in the
indictment that the conspiracy was
under way and the defense contended
could not be used against Sinclair.
