1914 Brooklyn Field Club — Brooklyn Field Club from the 1913/14 season

TheCup.us introduces “The First Cup” series, which revisits the first running of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup (then known as the National Challenge Cup) that took place from the fall of 1913 to the spring of 1914.

Editor’s note: As you read this, you’ll notice a lot of players with just one name. This is not an oversight on our part, but rather, many of the sources of this information (newspapers, publications etc.) only use the last name of players in their stories. If you have confirmation of any of their names, or any other details that would add to our historical records, feel free to reach out to us HERE. We are always looking for help with historical research.

Two more teams advanced to the round of eight in the inaugural National Challenge Cup on this day as Brooklyn Field Club ousted Bethlehem FC by a single goal, and Columbia Oval knocked off the unbeaten Alley Boys 2-1.

1914 Columbia Oval — Columbia Oval from the 1913/14 season

At Marquette Oval in Brooklyn, the Field Club snuck by the Allied League-leading Bethlehem FC, 1-0. After a scoreless first half, Brooklyn was able to hold back many offensive attacks by Bethlehem, thanks to standout defensive work from Drinkwater and Nichols.

After a Field Club corner kick, a fierce scrum formed in the Bethlehem goalmouth. From there, Miller sent a shot toward goal only to be stopped by Bethlehem’s Lewis, who was called for a hand ball. Miller stepped up to take the penalty, which was initially stopped by goalkeeper Scafe, who dropped the ball allowing Hynd to pounce on it and score the only goal of the game.

Elsewhere, in front of several thousand spectators at Lennox Oval in Manhattan, Columbia Oval pulled off an upset in knocking off the unbeaten Alley Boys 2-1.

The score was 1-1 at halftime on goals from J. Toal of Columbia and the Alley Boys’ Costello. Wollard scored the game winner for Columbia Oval in the second half. At the time Alley Boys were undefeated over 12 games at that point of the 1913-14 season.

Note: Bethlehem FC is the same club that later became Bethlehem Steel FC the following season.

The First Cup: Third time’s the charm for St. George FC as Round 2 comes to a close (Dec. 21, 1913)

December 21, 2012 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

Links to the full series are located at the bottom of this story.

On Dec. 21, 1913, the second round of the 1913-14 National Challenge Cup came to a close with four games in Detroit, New York and New Jersey.

In the lone game that was not a replay, it was a Brooklyn derby with the Brooklyn Field Club puting down the Rangers by a 3-0 score at Marquette Oval in Brooklyn. The Field Club team, who at the time of the game were 5-0-0 in National Association Football League play, found the Rangers club to be no trouble at all. The first of Robert Millar’s two goals came after twenty minutes, and his second came just two minutes into the second half. Five minutes later Millar assisted on the final goal for the Field Club, as he centered a long pass to goal scorer Charles Drinkwater.

1914 St. George — St. George FC from the 1913/14 season

Along with teammate Harry H. Shanholt, Robert Millar had the distinction of being selected to represent the NAFL in the annual New Years Day game against the New York State Amateur Football League.

The win set up the Field Club to host Bethlehem FC in the third round, which would become one of the more anticipated matches of the inaugural tournament.

After playing to a scoreless draw on Nov. 30, and a 1-1 stalemate on Dec. 14, Hudson United and St. George FC finally settled their second round struggle at Manhattan Field, with St. George coming out on top 2-1.

St. George took a 1-0 lead in the first half thanks to a penalty kick converted by Kelly. Hudson United drew level on a goal from Brennan. Barrett gave the lead back to St. George in the second half, and they managed to hold on and avoid another replay. St. George will face Peabody FC from Philadelphia’s Allied American Football League in the third round.

In Harrison, New Jersey, the Alley Boys FC took their second round replay with a convincing 4-0 win over West Hudson Juniors. The Alley Boys were in the middle of a fantastic season in which they won the New Jersey State Amateur Football League with a 22-0-0 record, finishing nine points ahead of second place Babcock & Wilcox.

1914 Packard FC — Detroit’s Packard FC from the 1913/14 season.

In the final replay game of the day, Packard FC triumphed over Roses FC 2-1 after extra time in a Detroit derby.

In front of 800 spectators, referee Garrett O’Keefe whistled to start the game, and from the beginning both ends of the field saw action. At the fifteen minute mark Roses won a corner kick when Stead cleared the ball for Packard out of the goal area. Smith delivered a perfect kick from which Horton scored the opening goal for Roses.

Packard wasted no time in scoring the equalizing goal, rushing the ball down the field from the ensuing kickoff. During a battle for the ball on the left side of the penalty area, a foul was called on one of the fullbacks for Roses, which resulted in a penalty kick being awarded to Packard. Reid sent his shot high into the corner of the goal to tie the game 1-1, which is where the first half eventually finished.

At the start of the second half, Roses nearly took the lead when right halfback Wink dribbled past three Packard defenders, only to send his shot over the crossbar. A few minutes later Packard won a corner kick but failed to convert.

After some fine passing between Miller and Horton, Roses won a corner which was cleared by Stead. Roses defense, anchored by goalkeeper Stansfield, thwarted the remaining attacks by Packard, and full time ended with the score still knotted at 1-1.

Just five minutes into extra time, Sutherland worked the ball down the field and after beating a Roses defender, fired a fast low shot past Roses’ goalkeeper Stevenson for what would eventually be the winning goal. Packard will host either MacNaughton Rangers of Niagara Falls Rangers in the third round. The USFA had yet to officially decide if a replay was in order following Niagara Falls protest of their 1-0 loss to MacNaughton back on Nov. 30.

THE FIRST CUP SERIES (THECUP.US)
A detailed look back at the 1913/1914 National Challenge Cup

The First Cup: Second Round nearly complete as USFA announces protest results, draw for Round 3 (Dec. 14, 1913)

December 15, 2012 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

Links to the full series are located at the bottom of this story.

A full batch of second round games were played on Dec. 14, 1913 in the inaugural National Challenge Cup. Along with a number of intriguing match-ups, the day also featured the draw for Round 3.

It was Germany versus Ireland at the Lennox Oval as the New York Celtics of the New York Amateur League triumphed over the Metropolitan and District League’s German FC, 4-1. The game was tied 1-1 at halftime with goals from Laurie for Celtics and A. Van der Weghe for German. The Celtics broke the game open in the second half with goals from Humble, Boyle and Dixon.

Meanwhile, a third game will be necessary to break the deadlock between Hudson United and St. George, as the two Metropolitan and District League clubs played to a 1-1 draw at Manhattan Field. The teams played to a scoreless draw back on Nov. 30.

Hudson United led 1-0 at the half on a goal from right halfback Sharrock, but St. George equalized in the second half through Jackson. The two clubs will meet again on Dec. 21 to try and break the stalemate.

At Edison Field in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Celtics had an easy time with Hollywood Inn, disposing of their New York State Amateur League rivals 6-0. The Celtics took command early, leading 2-0 after twelve minutes on goals from Campion and O’Hallaran.

Hollywood regained their composure, and nearly scored on a few occasions before the half ended. In the second half, the Celtics overwhelmed Hollywood for four more goals. Lonie scored two goals to take the score to 4-0. O’Hallaran scored his second of the game soon after, and King finished the scoring after a long run.

In New Jersey, three teams from the New Jersey State Amateur Football League squared off. In Bayonne, Babcock & Wilcox, who ended up finishing runner up in the 1914-15 NJSAFL with a 17-3-1 record, overcame Watsessing FC 5-3. Founded in 1867, by George Herman Babcock and Stephen Wilcox, The Babcock & Wilcox Co. (which specializes in making industrial boilers) still exists today, though now headquartered in Charlotte, NC.

1914 Brooklyn Celtic — Brooklyn Celtic from the 1913/14 season

In Harrison, the West Hudson Juniors and Alley Boys FC played to a 3-3 draw, making a replay on Dec. 21 necessary. The West Hudson Juniors were a reserve club of the West Hudson FC, which finished second to the Brooklyn Field Club in the 1913-14 National Association Football League season by a single point. The senior West Hudson team won the American Cup three times (1906, 1908 & 1912), and the NAFL championship on four occasions (1897, 1910, 1912 & 1913).

1914 West Hudson Juniors — West Hudson Juniors from the 1913/14 season.

Out west at Maloney’s Park in Detroit, extra time could not break the 2-2 deadlock between Packard FC and Roses FC, with another replay scheduled for Dec. 21. About 700 spectators braved the cold weather and turned out to watch the first-ever National Challenge Cup match in the state of Michigan. The game started quickly with Packard’s Ramsay striking the games first goal with just three minutes gone for a 1-0 lead. Roses began the game with only 10 players, when one of their men was late arriving to the game. After fifteen minutes of play Roses were at full strength, and soon afterwards equalized through a goal from C. Sutherland. Packard regained the lead on a strike from Miller, and the score stood 2-1 in favor of the automobile makers at halftime.

Three minutes into the second half, Roses tied the game once again with a goal from Shankland. From that point on the defense of each club took over.

The Detroit Free Press described the play of goalkeepers Standfield (Roses) and Stevenson (Packard).

“Shot after shot was blocked by the men in the cages, who seemed to be human stone walls when the ball came into their territory.”

A few shots from each team hit the woodwork, and on one occasion Roses thought it had grabbed the lead but the goal scored was nullified for offsides. At the end of 90 minutes the score stood 2-2, and an extra 30 to try and settle draw was in order.

The defense of both clubs remained strong in the extra sessions, preventing furious attacks by each teams’ forwards. Packard’s goalkeeper Stevenson strayed out of his goal mouth on one occasion, but Roses squandered the chance to win the game when their shot went wide of the goal, and neither team could find the winner. The Packard Motor Car Company was one of the premier makers of luxury automobiles in the early 1900s. The first Packard cars were built in 1899, and continued until its demise in 1958.

At the end of the day, the United States Football Association held a meeting at the Broadway Central Hotel in New York City to determine the pairings for the third round.

Two protests from the second round were heard and disallowed in the end.

First was the protest lodged by Chicago’s Clan MacDuff, who claimed that Hyde Park Blues fielded an ineligible player in their 2-0 win over MacDuff on Dec. 6. It was determined that Hyde Park were in the clear, and the MacDuffs call for a replay was turned down.

The Niagara Falls Rangers were also rebuffed in their quest for a replay, this one concerning their 1-0 loss to Rochester’s MacNaughton Rangers. Niagara Falls protested that Bliss of the MacNaughtons was playing under an amateur registration when in fact he was a paid coach of a local high school, but this was turned down due to lack of evidence. It should be noted however, that Dr. G. Randolph Manning had ordered a further investigation of the matter, so the Niagara Falls club held out hope that they might still get the replay they felt they deserved.

The pairings of the remaining 16 clubs for the third round of the National Challenge Cup were announced as follows. Five of the clubs are yet to be determined due to replays or games yet to be played.

West Hudson Juniors or Alley Boys at Clan McKenzie or Columbia Oval
Bethlehem FC at Brooklyn Field Club or Rangers FC
Babcock & Wilcox at Brooklyn Celtics
New York Celtic at Yonkers FC

THE FIRST CUP SERIES (THECUP.US)
A detailed look back at the 1913/1914 National Challenge Cup

The First Cup: Brooklyn Field Club begins their journey as Round 1 concludes (Nov. 2, 1913)

November 4, 2012 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

Note: As you read this, you’ll notice a lot of players with just one name. This is not an oversight on our part, but rather, many of the sources of this information (newspapers, publications etc.) only use the last name of players in their stories.

November 2, 1913

The opening round of the inaugural National Challenge Cup came to a close on Sunday, Nov. 2 with five games that took place in New York and New Jersey.

The 1913/14 tournament was very special for Brooklyn Field Club and they began their journey through the competition with a 3-0 win over Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) Strollers. Other Round 1 winners included Niagara Falls Rangers, German FC, Alley Boys FC, and the New Jersey club Babcock & Wilcox.

Entering the tournament with a six-game winning streak, the Brooklyn Field Club rolled over the IRT Strollers 3-0 at Hedley Field in Brooklyn in Round 1. At no time was the result in doubt, as Harry Shanholdt scored twice for the winners, and Coward added another. After the game, it was announced that Brooklyn’s win streak was officially entact as their victory last week over Clan McDonald was upheld, after a protest was filed by the losing club.

Meanwhile, over in Harrison, NJ, Alley Boys FC overwhelmed the Jersey Blues, 8-5. The game was out of reach by the halftime break as the Alley Boys held a comfortable 7-0 lead after 45 minutes. The Blues didn’t give up, as they fought back to score five goals in the second half, but ultimately fell short.

Four goals by A. Vander Weghe led the way for German FC in a dominant 5-0 win over Cameron FC. The game was played at the Columbus Oval in Manhattan. Play was give-and-take in the early stages of the game until the 22nd minute, when Mannborg broke through the Cameron backfield and passed to A. Vander Weghe for the first goal. Vander Weghe struck again eight minutes later for a 2-0 halftime lead.

Soon after the second half began it was clear that German FC were the superior team, repeatedly breaking through the Cameron backfield. Vander Weghe scored twice more with the help of Mannborg, who himself scored to bring the final score to 5-0 in favor of the Germans. Despite the five goals, Cameron goalkeeper Hallwell played a fine game, preventing things from really getting out of hand.

1914 Babcock & Wilcox — Babcock & Wilcox

After the game, the winners were taken to reception at the Café Bismarck, where each team member was awarded a silver medal by W.S. Esling, one of the officers of the German Football Club.

Babcock & Wilcox, representing the New Jersey State Amateur Soccer League, defeated the Cowboy FC 2-0 in Bayonne, NJ. B & W could not capitalize on numerous chances early on, leaving the first half scoreless between the two clubs.

In the second half the Boilermakers found their stride and put two past the Cowboy defense. The first was a brilliant shot from Stewart from the outside right, followed by Wright for the second goal.

The other four games that took place on Nov. 2 were in and around New York City area. The fifth game took place in Buffalo, NY where the Niagara Falls Rangers demolished the Corinthians of Buffalo 6-1 to advance to Round 2. Despite fielding four players from the Buffalo’s Rangers club, the Corinthians did not stand a chance against the stronger Niagara Falls side.

1914 Niagara Falls Rangers — Niagara Falls Rangers

Rangers struck first after just three minutes as Kemp gave up a chance to score by passing to a wide open Wallace, who had a straight shot into the back of the net. At the 30-minute mark Rangers lead was doubled when Cornithians’ Cessford scored an own goal when trying to clear the ball with a header.

The Cornthians showed a bit of life after the accidental score seven minutes later. After forcing Milnes to save a couple shots on goal, Denson scored off a corner kick from Proctor. Just before the break Murphy pushed the lead back to two goals for Rangers when he scored on an assist from Kemp.

Soon after the restart Wallace played provider, assisting on Harper’s goal in the 47th minute. On the fifth Rangers goal, the Corinthian back line attempted an offside trap with Wallace, but it was unsuccessful as Harper’s shot was fumbled by Kohlert, and Wallace pounced on the ball for his second goal of the day. Lumsden finished the scoring for Rangers by knocking home a corner kick from Wallace, who finished with two assists to go along with his two goals.
