I., on Harrison field, New Jersey, yesterday afternoon by the score of 3 goals to 2. It was one of the most sensational finishes ever witnessed in a soccer match. According to reports Paterson was hopelessly outclassed in the first half of the game and on the showing [...] session there was not one of the thousand of spectators to concede them a chance of overcoming a two-goal lead. Then Paterson did the unexpected. Came back at the restart, completely playing their rivals off their feet and before time was called scored three goals. By the victory Paterson earned the right to oppose the Scullins of St. Louis in the National final on Harrison Field next Sunday. Paterson is favored to win and judging by the gritty display against Coats, the [...]paters seem to have it figured out right.
