WIGAX CLUB TEAM
A cable from London last night announced that the Wigan Rugby League Club has decided to abandon the proposed tour to Australia. Recently it was announced that the team would arrive in Sydney next June and would play exhibition matches en route in America, Honolulu and Auckland, though no definite arrangements had been mads for a game in Auckland. The tour had been arranged by Mr. Hairy Sunderland, formerly of Australia and now manager of the Wigan club.
