A London physician, having made a
long and careful scientific investigation
of girls inability to throw a stone as
boy does, says that it is due to the
physical conformation of her shoulder.
A boy throws with free movement of
the arm that is not possible with a girl,
because her collar-bone is larger and
sets lower than the boys. The girl
may excel in sports where this action
is not required, but she can never learn
to throw like a boy.
