HARVARD may ban
HAMMER THROW
Danger To Spectators One Of the
Main Objections To This Ancient
Form Of Testing Strength.

BOSTON, May Alt looks at pres
ent as II the hammer throw would Be
the next sport to be abolished at Har-
ward. The primary cause, as In the
case OF basketball and fencing. Is lack
OF sufficient interest by the under
graduates to keep II alive.
The hammer throw Is an event
which, from it's dangerous nature. ne
cessitates that II should be held In
remote places distant from any appre-
ciable number of spectators. A ham
mer throw before large number OF
people under existing conditions would
be very great danger, to life and
limb.
AS a result of the necessity for pull
ing of the hammer throw In out-of-the
way places, spectators seldom see
what is going on. The undergraduates
naturally loses interest In what he
does not see. The sport suffers from
lack of publicity
Very few men come out for the ham,
mcr throw at Harvard, even after
much urging. Those who come out for
II work hard for many weeks, and re-
ceive almost no appreciation for their
work. Publicity would no doubt IN
crease the popularity OF the sport all
around. The sport must be held where
II can be seen from the regular seats.
To make this possible. and at the
same time to spare the spectators
from the danger from flying weights
is the big problem. One solution al
ready suggested Is the erection Of =
net TO catch the weights before they
| become dangerous
II is said that at the Travers island
grounds of the New York A. G. safely
| for the spectators Is secured by .
stout wire netting. There the hammer
throw is very popular.
II Is thought that IL net Is con-
structed at the open end OF the sta
dunn, with the throw outward, with
fairly expert men handling the
weights, no other events going on at
the time. that the throwers will do
better. the spectators will see thrilling
performances without any danger,
more candidate will come out for the
event, and what is really fine sport
will be rescued from abolition at Hars
ward
Failing this or some other remedy,
1t would seem that the hammer throw
would have to walk the plank as an
athletic event at Harvard.

Death Of BENJAMIN Griffin

Il l. i
In the death of Benjamin F.
Griffin, which occurred at the fam.
lily home five miles southeast OF
Laclede last Sunday morning, this
county loses an old and highly re.
spected citizen. The deceased was
born November IL, 1888, at Sgd
ney, Ontario, Canada, and at the
time of his death, September 10,
1909, was rs years, 10 months and
5 days Of age. He grew to man
hood in Canada, and then with his
mother moved to Illinois, having
buried his father in his native
country. Was united in marriage
at Summit, Illinois, on February
%, 1870, to Miss Sara Hurlbutt.
To this union were born three chill
dren, Allie A., Edith E. and Irwin
Ell. Those who survive the deceased
and mourn the loss Of a true hus-.
band and loving father are Mrs.
Griffin, Mrs. Edith E. Ours and
Irwin Ell. Griffin, Allie E. having
died December %, 1882. i
In 1864 Mr.. Griffin enlisted in
Company FL. Thirty-sixth Illinois
Infantry and served till the close of
the war, participating in the great
battles OF. Franklin and Nashville,
besides many minor engagements.
After the close of the war he re-
turned to his home in Illinois and
shortly after his marriage in 1870
removed to Laclede and. after living
in town six months purchased and
moved onto the farm where be died.
He united with the Laclede M. e.
church in 1886, and lived a con-
SlStent christian life.
The funeral was held at the late
home Tuesday, conducted by Rev.
Powell, pastor of the M. E. church,
the remains being laid to rest in
the Laclede cemetery.
To know Mr.. Griffin as neigh
Dor was to know a man who was
loyal to his country, and who was a
true and faithful husband and
father, a kind and honest heart
that knew no deception. The be-
reaved relatives have the sympathy |
of the entire community.
