WHAT THE TAPE REVEALS
HOW THEY COMPARE Interesting indeed are the following comparisons between Tunney and Heeney as revealed by the tape, for they show that the pair are differently built. Both are the same age and they do not show much difference in weight, but as regards height the champion has an advantage of 2in., while he has 4|in. to spare in reach. Where Heeney scores is in chest measurement, and also in the calf, showing what might be accepted as better stamina. the measurements and weights are as follows: — Tunney Heeney 30 Age 30 6ft I jin .. Height .. sft. 102-in 13st. 131 b .. Weight .. 14st 21b 72|in Beach 72in 17in Neck 17in 41in Chest 43in 14£in Calf 15 £in
