MAY PLAY SUNDAY GOLF.
Majority of Onwentsia Club Mem.
bers Want Game on Sabbath.

CHICAGO, January 20.-Sunday golf
will be permitted on the links Of the
Onwentsia Club. one of Chicago's most
exclusive country clubs. if the decision
of a majority of the members is put
into effect. Steps were taken today,
however, by faction opposed to Sun
day golf to appeal TO the board Of gov
erns. which. by a provision of the
clubs constitution, has the deciding
voice in such matters.
The lifting of the ban on Sunday golf
would upset the clubs most honored
tradition, which has existed since it's
organization, twenty-three years ago.
The fight against opening the clubs
links on Sunday is being led by the
Rev. James G. X. Mcclure of the Nc
Cormick Theological Institute.
