ALL IS READY FOR THE BIG SOCCER GAME HERE TOMORROW
When Disston and Bethlehem Teams Meet for a Decision in a Semi-Final American Cup Contest.

VISITORS TO BOLSTER UP LINEUP FOR THE CONTEST

Tomorrow's great soccer game between Disston A. A. and Bethlehem Steel in the semi-final for the American Cup at the Bethlehem Steel athletic field is sure to be a keen and interesting contest from the start. Disston is out of the running in the national Cup and National League and is sure to make a desperate effort to defeat the Steel Workers and reach the final of the American Cup. The last time these two great rivals meat was at Disston field and Bethlehem was only victorious after two hours of the most strenuous soccer seen in Philadelphia this season. The final score the was two goals to one.

In the list of players sent by manager Bedford to the Bethlehem management there are several soccer stars who are at present stationed in Canadian and American training camps and the Disston manager can be depended upon to have these men in the lineup tomorrow.

This is the last cup game that will be seen on the Bethlehem Steel field this season and if the Steel Workers emerge victorious they will have the great honor of being finalists in both the American and National Cup. The Bethlehem lineup will be the same as defeated Joliet F. C. in the semi-final of the National. The game will start promptly at 3:15 p.m. and George Young of Philadelphia will referee the game.

The Bethlehem lineup: Duncan, Fletcher, Ferguson, Murray, Campbell, Kirkpatrick, Murphy, pepper, Ratican, Easton and Fleming.
