sunday Decorators Are Scored.
Members of the Rob Roy Golf club
are exercised over the sermon preach
ed by Rev. William futile pastor of
the Zion church, last Sunday, in which
he denounced Sabbath ball games and
golf playing.

to support golf links. Golfng is no
cheap skate game.

full and sensible recreation.

with fervor, give me Sunday ball. II

Again. there is no sham or pretens'
with ball players or spectators, al
though their profanity and abuse o
umpires is to be deplored."
The Rob Roy golfers claim that Sun
day was made for men (the modern
view includes women also) and no
men for Sunday and that so long al
they pay their pew rent the preacher
haven't a reasonable kick coming.
