SPORTS SUNDAYS
South Orange Exclusive Field
Organization Makes lnnova-
TOM Ministers Oppose.

Despite opposition on the part OF
clergymen and churchmen the South
Orange Field Club is to throw open
its grounds to sports beginning next
Sunday.
The plan was assailed from the
pulpit in the First Presbyterian
Church yesterday by the Rev. David
De Forest Burrell. pastor. and the
Rev. Alvin e. Magary, pastor of
Trinity Presbyterian Church. today
said he would oppose the project.
While the exclusive organization
is nearly a quarter of century old
the playing of Sunday sports of any
sort on it's grounds has never been
tolerated by those in authority. The
club grounds are the property of the
Meadowland Society. of which Will
lam F. Allen. founder of the Field
Club. is president. Mr. Allen being
adverse to the Sunday sport plan,
the lease obtained by the club from
the land owners contained a clause
preventing the use of the property
for sports on Sunday, but since a
majority of the club members are
in favor of change it is understood
that Mr. Allen and the other Of
fcers of the Meadowland Society
have consented to a modification IN
the lease which will permit the use
of the club grounds for golf and Ten
mis- between the hours of / and
o'clock Sunday afternoons.
A committee composed of former
Village President Ira A. Kip, jr., John
w. Crane and T. r. Handy, represent
ing the club, it is said has obtained
the verbal consent of the property
owners to allow their plan to be car
ried out and that at a meeting In the
club tomorrow night arrangements
will be completed for the carrying
out of golf and tennis programs next
Sunday afternoon.
The Rev. Mr.. Magary today said
he was not in sympathy with the
movement, declaring it to be a mis-
take.
II believe the support of the
wealthy people will be Withdrawn
from the club if the plan is carried
out" he added.
Denouncing the plan at the morn
ing service in his church yesterday,
the Rev. Mr.. Burrell said that church
people should oppose the plan and at
tempt to prevent it being carried out
The Fled Club members who favor
the clubs plan say that inasmuch
as the grounds will be open to golf
and tennis only during the afternoon,
1t will not interfere with church serv-
ices.
