Weight of Sheridan’s 56-pound hammer ruled underweight
M J Flynn of the Star Athletic Club sent the suspected 56 pound hammer used by Sheridan for record attempts to J E Sullivan, chairman of the Amateur Athletic Union record committee. A city weigher found the weight to be 55 pounds 14 3/4 ounces and the handle too long. The hammer is triangular in shape and never reaches the regulation sixteen inches. If the same defective weight was used in other records this year, those records may be disallowed pending investigation.
