NOT IN FAVOR
Of A CHANGE
E. Sullivan Believes Addi-
ton of Five Pounds to
Hammer Unnecessary.

Declaring that the intended chang
ing in the list of events in the pro-
gram of the Intercollegiate Athletic
association sports III the matter of
the hammer throw from the univers-
al weight of 1G pounds to one of 81
pounds, with the necessary shortening
of the handle of the implement to 3
feet, was a decided step backward in
the desire for athletic progress. James
L. Sullivan, probably the best posted
man in the United States OF track and
field matters, had the following to
say:
IF the Intercollegiate Athletic as
ISOLATION has no other idea in conncc-
ton with the changing of this event
than the safeguarding OF spectators it
would do we'll to abolish the game
altogether and place in its lists in
stead of it a discus or SO event.
1T has been shown that the ham,
mer-throwing event can be made abb
solutely safe to spectators by the use
of such q cage as has been employed
for several Years at Travers Island,

the world have contested with no

1T has taken ten Years to place
hammer throwing as an event in
which Americans lead the world, and

helps to form a combination which
warrants the hammer being thrown

accuracy ,that is. within a given rad

Hammer throwing as pursued al

IF Americans generally were to
give over the nov accepted style OF
hammer throwing and take ON the
proposed scheme of throwing a 2l-
pound implement they would find
themselves at a distinct disadvantage
when it came to the next Olympic
games in Berlin in 1916. whom a 16-
pound hammer will he thrown. as it
was at Stockholm and previous Olym-
