Business manager Trend announced this morning that the Bethlehem Steel company athletic committee has decided to send the Steel company soccer team, champion of America, 1915-16, on a western tour during the Christmas holidays. Final arrangements were completed yesterday with the Missouri Football Association for two games in St. Louis on December 24 and 25 with two of the leading clubs of that city. The Illinois football association also booked the Steelworkers for a game at Chicago on Saturday, December 23. The Bethlehem team may stop off at Pittsburgh or Altoona on the way home as both of these cities are anxious to have the American champion visit them.

The party will consist of eighteen players and twelve officials and friends.
