ABSTRACT

In 1936, the newly launched magazine Sport and Pleasure claimed that the English

have more of the day which we are relatively free to enjoy as best we can. This increase of leisure hours has led, naturally enough to a greater interest being taken in sport and the editor … hopes to provide articles of topical and general interest that will appeal to the many interested in sport and pleasure, who have, unfortunately, not enough leisure to enjoy a full perusal of our well-known sporting contemporaries.1
