SUNDAY CRICKET
The Jewish Social Club made application' to the Eastbourne Borough' Council last evening for the use oi a wicket on the Recreation Ground. It would be used at times on a Sunday, but the club would not interfere with the existing arrangements for Saturdays made with the Cricket Association. The blub was prepared to pay £1 per day for the use of each wicket.
A general discussion ensued. The Mayor (Mr. P. H. Mather) expressed the opinion that cricket should not be played on Sundays. For one thing the wicket would not stand it, and they were under an obligation to the Cricket Association to provide suitable wickets each week. The Reserve should be left free on Sundays to the general public. Councillor Cartridge: "I think we should docido whether we are going to allow Sunday playing."
Councillor Green: "What about the. tennis courts? Are you going to stovj cricket and allow tennis?"
The Mayor considered, that a principle was involved in the matter, and the meeting should make a decision. It was advisable to turn the offer down as far as Sunday playing of cricket was concerned. Councillors concurred, and a, motion was adopted refusing thp, application for use of the ground on Sundays.
