Mitchell Out Champion Weight Thrower Dropped
James S. Mitchell world weight throw champion and longtime New York Athletic Club star was expelled from the club. A two hour committee session followed nonattendance by Mitchell at a required meeting, with a unanimous vote minus one abstention. The club provided no stated reasons, but insiders cite dissension after the Metropolitan Athletic Club rift and the NYAC withdrawal from the Amateur Athletic Union. Mitchell, a former English star, had held multiple world records and titles, weighing 230 pounds and standing over six feet, with a storied career across America and England.
