European Unrest Cancels Several Football Tours
London, May 2.
This year there may not be as many Continental tours by English League clubs, as in the past. There are two main reasons. The first is that of the official F.A. tours to South Africa, and the other is the general unrest in Central Europe.
:
The F.A. tours are affecting clubs, because most of the leading sides, and those are usually the ones that make tours, find themselves without one or more of their "stars" and Continental clubs are not going to offer a guarantee to any side and then find that most of the "star" players will not be able to play against them.
Some clubs, however, have already? made final arrangements. Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers are going to Den- mark. All three it is understood will play at Copenhagen and the ten-
tative dates are:-Wolverhampton Wanderers will play on May 10, 12 and 14; Arsenal on May 22, 24 and 26 and Blackburn Rovers on May 19 and June 2.
Wolverhampton Wanderers after they had made these arrangements received a letter inviting them. to tour Argentina. The offer, which contained a proposal to play five matches at a guaranteed figure of £1,250 per match, arrived too Into for consideration. Two years ago the Wolves contemplated touring Argentina but the FA stepped in and vetoed the proposition.
