STEEL SOCCER TEAM TO PLAY N. Y. GIANTS
Bethlehem Stays in Fifth Place, But Fall River Gains Points.
TAKE ON INDIANA SUNDAY

Davy Brown, brilliant forward, and the rest of the company of New York Giants, conquerors of Providence after the latter club had defeated Bethlehem here, last Saturday, will be visitors in Bethlehem on Saturday afternoon. The Giants are coming here to try and down the Bethlehem Steel clan.

This game is one of two arranged for the Steelmen over the weekend for on Saturday afternoon the locals are scheduled to meet Indiana Flooring on the home pitch of the Gotham booters. For the Giants' game, the Bethlehem management hopes to be able to field a club that will not e disrupted by injuries, a condition necessitated on the visit of Providence to Bethlehem last Saturday.

Although Bethlehem dropped two points by losing the game last Saturday, the defeat did not alter the position of the Steel clan in the league standing. However, it did throw them back two more points in the race to overtake Fall River, for the champions had an easy victory. The standing of the clubs including the games played over the last weekend follows:
