BRITISH SOCCER PLAYERS RETURN FROM A TRIUMPHANT TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA
Only One Defeat In 12 Matches: £9,000 Profit Made On Whole Trip
London, July 24,
Carrying Zulu spears and other souvenirs of their visit, 18 Soccer internationals have returned home from a 20,000 miles tour of South Africa. They left England on May 11.
Esplaining the side's one defcat in 12 panes played, Mr. C. Wreford Brown, Joint manager with Mr. II. H. Hughes, said that the leam were 38 haters in the fruin just before they went on to the field. Moreover, it was at Johannesburg-0,000 ft. above sea level and A. 11. Gibbons, the RAF. and Brentford forward, safid they were "panting like dogs" after ten minutes. Mr. Wreford Brown also pointed out that the F.A. ride were then wearing ordinary studded boots. Afterwards they used rubber
studs, the only possible studs for such hard ground. The three Tesis were won by scores of 3-0, 3-2, and 2-1.
"Every player in the party, the whole 18, was given a chance in the Tests. They have all come home!

ed their country in South Africa," he added. He also revealed that the captainey had been allowed to go! round, and that Eric Brook, the Man- chester City winger, did not skipper! the team all the time,
The estimated profit on the tour is Baseball £9,000, and the professionals may receive a bonus. Asked if he could estimate the profit to South Africa, Mr. Wreford Brown sald "About: £5,000. Three matches in Johannes- burg drew £9,000 in gate money, the best takings of the tour. There was no 'bob' gate, the charge being half
a crown."
SHOCK FOR TRAINERS Trainers are due for a shock when the members of the touring party report to their clubs for duty! With out exception, the eighteen footballers have put on weight. The scales tell a tale of good food and few missed courses. Sam Bartram, Charlton's red-headed goalkeeper, is the worst casualty. He has put on 18 lbs.

Little was reallsed from the proceeds of exhibition games in Califormin and the English share of the Meadowbrook gates amounted to only £3,000 about quarter of what was expected. The prices realised for the penies were calamitous-70 were taken over. Forty of them
