A team of four top veterinar
ians fought to save the fractured
left hind leg of the million
dollar thoroughbred in an
around-the-clock vigil, but fear
ed he might be destined for
destruction.
The "vets" placed a new and
specially-designed cast on Swaps
after the fourth highest money
winner in America racing his
tory broke the old cast last Sun
day, aggravating a five-day-old
slight fracture of the leg below
the knee.
Placed In Sling
The 4-year-old then was placed
in a sling sent from New York
by "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons,
trainer of Nashua, Swaps' arch
rival, who beat him in a two-
horse match race after Swaps
topped him in winning the 1955
Kentucky Derby.
Swaps, holder of four world
records and winner of $848,000,
added new woes to an already
painful injury when he struck
the leg against the side of his
stall while trying to get to his
feet. The new cast applied Tues
day night is fashioned to make
it impossible for Swaps to move
any part of the leg to promote
healing of the fracture. The
sling will keep his hind hoofs
several inches off the floor of
his stall.
Swaps, owned by Rex. C.
Ellsworth of Chino, Calif., and
John W. Galbreath, president
of the Pittsburg Pirates, has
won 19 of his 25 races.

Boomerang Has
Comeback in Field
Of Aerodynamics
Washington (U.R) American
boys and physics professors are
having a fling with the centuries-old
boomerang.
An increasingly popular ob
ject of sport, the boomerang is
also being used by teachers to
demonstrate principles of aero
dynamics. One physicist de
scribes it as a "combination of
helicopter, discus, gyroscope,
and inclined plane." He has as
much fun hurling one as any
youngster.
So also, apparently, do the
aborigines of Australia, some of
whom still use the sickle-shaped
stick for recreation as well as
hunting. Expert "abos" have
been known to throw the
"kiley," as they call it, 150 feet
into the air, make it circle five
times and even bounce on the
ground before finally coming
back. One champion used to spe
cialize in a William Tell stunt.
Balancing an apple on his head,
he would throw the boomerang
and stand rod straight until the
weapon returned and knocked
the apple from his head.
Aussies Put Boom in Boomerang
Although the Australians gen
erally are credited with having
been the first to build the hom
ing instict into the boomerang,
they are not the only people who
have used this throwing stick.
Ancient Egyptians favored a
nonreturning stick for hunting
birds. Hunters were so expert
they could knock down a bird
as it was rising in flight. Thus
stunned, it could be retrieved by
a trained cat.
Until the 20th century, Egyp
tians equipped some of their
army divisions with war boom
erangs. In the American south
west, the Hopi Indians still hunt
with an S-shaped throwing stick.
Other boomerang-like weapons
have been found in India, Cele
bes, Borneo, and Ethiopia.
Some from India are made of
steel. Others are carved from
ivory. In the United States, a
few manufacturers make them
out of plastic. But the common
est material is wood: naturally
bent hardwood.
In Australia, where making
boomerangs is as much an art
as throwing them, manufactur
erseven with mass-production
techniques are rushed to keep
up with the tourist trade. They
make a variety of models, rang
ing in size from a two-inch sou
venir to a four-foot, deadly non
returning, big-game boomerang.
A oneway boomerang is
usually larger and less angled
than the "comeback" type. The
surfaces of its arms, .moreover,
are equally curved so that little
lift is generated and it flies al
most straight.
Why Does it Come Back?
The round-trip type is nearly
flat on one surface and rounded
on the other. It has been likened
to a pair of airplane wings,
joined at an agle of from 70 to
120 degrees, with the thick edge
of one wing meeting the thin
edge of the other. The play of
air over these unevenly curved
surfaces, plus the over-all cir
cling motion, makes the boom
erang return.
To be sure a boomerang will
fly right, a manufacturer usually
tests his product before releas
ing it. One visitor to an Austral
ian factory was nearly hit in the
head before he realized he was
on the factory's test range. The
offending boomerangs, the own
er explained, had all passed the
test. In this business, he gloated,
there are no rejects. Bad boom
erangs just don't come back.
