ROYAL PATRONAGE OF SPORTS
CRITICISM BY CHURCH LONDON. May 26. Members of the Royal Family are criticised by the Scottish Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church for attending the races and football matches. A loyal address, drawn up by the Rev. James Tallach. of Kames. Argyllshire, and approved by the Synod at Inverness, ended: “The high place given to such national sports as football and horse-racing, and their attendant evils, is not in the best spiritual interests of the people. We greatly deplore the Royal patronage which has come to be a recognised feature of some of these sporting events.”
