    Robbie MacElroy Kilfian.
    Robbie Mac Elroy was a famous weight thrower in his days. He is not throwing now because he is too old. He is living in Kilfian. He threw the 1/2 cwt twenty seven and a half feet some years ago which was a record. He defeated guard Glynn at the Cooneal sports in the year 1931 A.D. by 1 1/2 ft.
