SUNDAY SPORT

Accepted by the House, the bill, making legal Sunday sport of amateur character in Massachusetts, is at last on the way to becoming fact. Long have the golfers and tennis players in the Bay State Been deprived with Puritanical ardor of the exercise and recreation so much needed after a week of indoor work. Those how religiously go to church every Sunday and have had to sit all afternoon before an open window, with Plato's "Republic", before them, will no longer have to simulate long "dries" or back-hand "volleys."

It is refreshing to see even such a bashful step as this taken in the right direction. Mayhap in the millennium we shall yet be allowed to witness the Braves wallop the Giants of a Spring Sunday from two to five, before we rush madly back to vespers. The legislature must be undergoing a reaction from the arid days of prohibition, and we are again to feel the personal liberty so long lost, in search of which our Pilgrim ancestors came to Massachusetts Bay!
