BROOKLYN COMES ON SATURADY
An Interesting Soccer Game in American League is Promised Fans
STANDING IN LEAGUE

Brooklyn F. C. will be the attraction at the Steel Field next Saturday in an American League game and if the game is anything like the first visit of the Brooklynites, fans will see an interesting 90 minute session. Few games seen here created the enthusiasm that was displayed during that game. Bethlehem won by two goals to one after being a goal down shortly after the start of the second half, all the goals were scored within several games recently but they can always be relied upon to put up a great fight against Bethlehem. Several of the players on the local list received injuries in the two hard games at Pawtucket and Fall River last Saturday and Sunday but all are expected to be in shape for the clash with Brooklyn. A setback for Bethlehem at this stage of the pennant race would be disastrous with New York and Fall River right up with them for the league leadership. The following is the standing of the league to date:
