Soccer interest over the weekend will be centered on the American Soccer League Cup competition for the H. E. Lewis trophy, which has reached the semi-final stage in the metropolitan and New England districts, and the offerings are of such high caliber that both fixtures are sure to bring out the soccer fans in large numbers.

Bethlehem Steel share in the semi-final game and for their opponents have drawn the New York Giants for a game in Bethlehem on Saturday and a return fling in New York on Sunday. In the New England district, Providence and New Bedford will be fighting it out for the privilege of meeting the winner of the Bethlehem-Giant game in the final round.

The Steel Workers, national champions, have gone through a strenuous week of training, determined to continue in the cup chance and makes their victory at home big enough to assure the elimination of the Giants. It will be the first time that the champions have been privileged to perform before a home crowd in a cup classic, and in view of this, it is hoped that the biggest crowd in the history of local soccer will gather on the Steel Field to encourage the home clan.
