GAMES ON SUNDAY

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l have read with much interest the article in tonight's "Post" headed "Sunday Tennis," and am somewhat surprised that the present controversy should be confined to tennis alone. Why, out of all the many. and varied forms of sport indulged in by the public on Sundays, tennis should be selected as the capital offence is beyond my powers <of imagination. When we consider the great extent to which various forms of. recreation are pursued on a Sunday morning; as a visit to any sports ground_or reserve will show, the unfairness and 'the futility of confining these attacks merely to tennis becomes obvious.' , As regards' the use of school'courts, I. heed only mention that the school grounds in my1 own. district are used, for organised play by the local ; cricket >;cluV every Sunday morning; and I understand that- such a state of affairs also .exists at other schools. If "the1 much-discussed and allimp'ortant^question of Sunday eports is to be brought up again, all sports should be considered' equally, as such onsets as are at present being made upon tennis are quite uncalled for.—l.api, etc., .
