BETH. BOOTERS TAN BROOKLYN WANDERERS
Steel City Soccer Wizards Make Final Appearance Before Metropolitan Crowd

W. Luther Lewis, chairman of the Bethlehem soccer committee and of the United States Football Association and the “Father” of professional soccer in this country, made a speech. The visitors scored three times before the home team found itself and at half time Bethlehem led by 3-1. The visitors went farther ahead in the second period and then Brooklyn cut it down to 4-2.
