College to Abolish Hammer Throw After Tragic Death
An eastern college considers banning hammer throwing after a student expert was killed during athletic exercise. The injured athlete mourns the loss of years devoted to the hammer, tuition paid, books bought, and lectures attended in hopes of fame, calling the potential ban an injustice to an infant industry. Separately, officials uncover irregularities at the New York customs house amid a smuggling scandal tied to sugar and tariff disputes, while political snippets note Senator Bailey’s tariff stance and Taft’s handling of ministerial appointments including Hammond and Dover.
