Flanagan Hammer Throw World Record At Savin Rock
John J. Flanagan’s hammer throw at Clan-na-Gael in Savin Rock Saturday is claimed as the AAU world record after a city engineer and Gaelic Society representatives verified the 184 feet 4 inches distance. Certificates have been sent to the AAU secretary, and all requirements were met. Mrs. Helen Crane of Stratford was treated for a badly bruised and cut left hand at Emergency Hospital after a dispute with her landlady over a crying baby, with the Polish landlady accused of pinching the child.
