Welcome Any Time
Reid can warm his feet at the stove of the Bethlehem team any time and it's probable that the local management has often wished that the big Irishman was back in the local outfit. The former Bethlehem fullback was not transferred because he lacked capability and as a matter of fact neither were any of the other players who were shipped along with Reid. However, at the time Bethlehem was well fortified with reserves and had at its command possibly a bigger squad of players than any other soccer club in the East. At the outbreak of the soccer war, the local club became interested in the new league and in its efforts to assist in developing the new organization let many of its players go. While Reid was a very likable chap, an excellent player and popular with his teammates, he is no doubt happier in Philadelphia for when here he chafed under idleness but as a star of the Phillies is a vital asset in the lineup every time the team starts.
