STEEL LEADS IN SOCCER LEAGUE
Local Team Stands First in Organization, and McNiven Tied for Lead
IN INDIVIDUAL GOALS

Statistics of the league, compiled to include the games played last week, show that Bethlehem, in addition to leading in the team standing has had the least goals of any other club scored against it. For individual scoring honors, Whitey Fleming, former Bethlehem player and now with Fall River, sets the pace up until last Saturday, when the three goals headed into the net by McNiven tied him with the white topped forward. Following is the standing of the club, together with other statistics:
