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

In the opening match, New Zealand gained a lead when C. E. Malfroy beat Ronald Shayes by 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 5-7. 6-3.

However, Charles Hare avenged this reverse for Bri- tain by beating D. Brown in three straight sets of 6-3, 6-4, 6-3.—Reuter,
