Bethlehem Steel Soccer Club, 1919-1920
On the heels of winning the National League pennant, American Cup, and National Cup in 1918-1919, the Bethlehem Steel Soccer Club toured Scandinavia in the summer of 1919 and impressed their European competitors. Upon their return to the States, however, the Steel Workers fell into a slump. In the 1919-1920 season, the Bethlehem Steel team didn't win any of the honors it had won the year before.
Below are newspaper accounts of the Bethelehem Steel Soccer Club during their 1919-1920 season.
