The Bethlehem Booster Club was organized at the start of the season recently closed. The main object was to stimulate the moral support of the Bethlehem team, increase the attendance at the home games and assist in any other way that their services might be utilized to the development of soccer in Bethlehem. That their efforts have not been for naught was intimated when speakers briefly referred to the activities of the Boosters told of the material increase in attendance at the home games over that of last year.

During the dinner the guests were entertained with music by Wohlbach's Harmony Kings and quite a number of Scotch songs by James Bell. These and other selections went across with a bang as did the vocal selections contributed to the program by the Dixie Boy Quartet. In reference to the entertainers it might not be amiss at this time to refer to them as devout boosters who on more than one occasions during the season contributed their services to various functions sponsored by the Bethlehem Boosters in support of soccer.

With a dance to follow the list of speakers was severely curtailed and while not limited as to time the remarks of the toastmaster indicated that the "boys" might get restless and the speakers heeded the hint. William H. Scott, president of the South Side Businessmen's Association, admitted that he had recently been converted a soccer fan and now thoroughly enjoyed the game. "Billy", who is active in any enterprise which involves civic pride, spoke encouragingly of the support the team will receive and referred to numerous remarks he had overheard at the Bethlehem-Hakoah game which indicated that many who attended that game had witnessed their first soccer clash and were much impressed with the sport.

Eugene Collins, the impetus behind the Booster Club, was called upon, and spoke briefly of the activities of the Boosters, what they did this year and what they hope to do next year. He was proud of the cooperation of the Booster members and satisfied that the first year theirs was a work well done.

A big and pleasant surprise for the players was held in reserve until all the speakers had been called when W. L. Lewis of the Bethlehem Steel team, referred to the numerous medals and other individual trophies received by Bethlehem players in the past and that "the Scotchman, of course, expecting something," the management had decided something novel as a gift of esteem and recognition in winning the American Soccer League championship. His witty remarks in introducing the players individually as they sauntered forth to the speakers table for the presentation evoked much merriment and perhaps a little discomfiture among some who sauntered forth for his gift.

Last year on the occasion of winning the National Cup championship each of the players were presented with a handsome gold watch. This year it was a beautiful diamond ring. The players who received them were: William Allan, James B. Barrie, John Granger, Robert MacGregor, Malcolm Goldie, Andy Rankin, John Jaap, Johnny Rollo, Tom Raeside, Arthur Robertson, Robert Terris, Arch Stark, Dave Edwards, George Forrest, George McDonald, Tom Gillespie, William Reid, Dave Eadie, William Carnihan, John Ferguson and Manager James Easton.
