The Globe -- South Bethlehem

SOCCER

The game next Saturday, between the Bethlehem Steel and the pick of the Blue Mountain league should be interesting, as the last time these teams met, the Steel company team just managed to lower the colors of the picked team by the odd goal, the champion winning by the score of 4-3. The Blue Mountain leaguers are out for revenge and Secretary Carpenter is confident that the team he has selected can lower the colors of the steel workers.

Up to noon today no work had been received from the West Hudson management as to the condition of the ground, but the arrangements as previously made which call for the referee inspecting the grounds, Saturday afternoon, still stands. The local club should receive word some time Saturday.

Men were at work today fixing up East End field in preparation for tomorrow's big game between Bethlehem Steel and pick of the Blue Mountain league which game is to be played for the benefit of the Eastern Pennsylvania and District Football association. Arrangements have been made to start the game at 3 p.m. Players selected to take part will report at East End field not later than 2:30 o'clock. The teams will line-up as follows:
