VOL STATE PLANS TO
KILL SUNDAY SPORTS

sharps say it will be, it will be
against the law to engage in any
sport on Sunday in the Volunteer
state.
This would hit the golf clubs and
the country clubs of Memphis
Nashville, Chattanooga and Knox
VILE pretty solid blow.
1t is also possible that the pas
sage Of an alright law against
Sunday baseball might encourage
the anti baseball folks in Memphis
to shut up the sport there on Sun
day. 1t has been played there in
the past only because Memphis is a
wide open town, and no attempt Is
made to enforce any laws, except
those against murder and grand
larceny
1t is doubtful, also. if law
against golf would be binding in
any part of the state for long.
Attempts to shut down on this
sport on Sunday in good old Puri-
tan states like Massachusetts has
resulted in rank failure and il il
likely that If an -Sport-on- Sun
Gay law is passed it would not aft
lect any sport but baseball for long.
