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. toure are affecting clubs, because most of the Icading 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 alreadyj made final arrangements, Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers and
