Comparisons in Two styles of Ham :
mer Thro wing.

For the first time in the history of
field sports in this country it will be
clearly demonstrated on Decoration Day
the difference between the English, Irish
and American styles of throwing the
hammer. The American rules governing
the game stipulate that the missile shall
be flung from a circle seven feet in
diameter and without follow. The English
and Irish rule allow a nine foot circle,
and experts agree that the extra two feet
OF space is of immense advantage to a
thrower should he vail himself of it. The
nine foot circle is especially suited to
throwers who revolve% twice in throWing.
as 1T is good and roony and allows ample
space to waltz around. On the other hand
the seven foot circle is more or less of a
stumbling block to the double twirler. and
they very often : suffer disqualification
from p out of the circumscribed
space. The chief competition at the New
Jersey Athletic Club games will be decided
from the seven foot circle and then i'm
mediately afterwards the throwers who
come to indulge will repair to the nine
foot space and nave a tussle after the
English and Irish method. Almost ali
who intend to compete will use the double
turn style. Chadwick, of Yale, is greatly
struck on this method of throwing. and
seems to think it is a vast improvement
over the old one. Woodruff, of Pennsyl-
Nania, is also using two turns. and SO are
McCracken, Garland and Outiand. of the
same stable. When everything has been
sifted in the record line, an official in
vestigation reveals, the fact that J. S.
Mitchell yet holds the worlds record for
throwing from a seven foot circle. the
distance being 145 TT. u in. Flanagan,s
best out of seven foot ring is 1923 feet
His throw of LAT feet was made out of the
nine foot circle, and whether he can re-
peat this out of the seven foot circle. on
Decoration Day is a thing which time
alone can only tell.
