A Discussion in Cockpit Form
Ever since the war, the discussion of Sunday games has been a matter of acute feeling. It affects particularly those great industrial centres where space for games has to be provided chiefly by the public authorities. It also happens that the older conception of the English Sunday is most firmly held in just those districts. Those whose religious convictions cannot countenance the playing of games on Sundays have largely influenced public authorities in keeping the playing-fields and lawns closed to the many others, mostly of the younger generation, who regard Sunday as a day of relaxation and sport, and demand public facilities for what they feel is their right.
