The First Cup: Niagara Falls Rangers topple Pullman FC to complete Semifinal field (April 5, 1914)

April 5, 2013 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

1914 Niagara Falls Rangers — Niagara Falls Rangers

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.

Playing on a sloppy pitch at Aluminum Park, the Niagara Falls Rangers held off the visiting Pullman FC from Chicago 2-1 to advance to the semifinals of the inaugural National Challenge Cup. Snow fell the night before, turning the field into a muddy mess, and forwards for both teams had difficulty shooting the wet, heavy ball with any accuracy.

Niagara Falls opened the scoring after 17 minutes on a goal from former English international Fred Milnes. Pullman pressed hard for the equalizer, but the Rangers defense stood their ground for most of the half.

With five minutes remaining Pullman finally broke through with a goal from Cartwright. Play in the early part of the second half was described by the Chicago Daily Tribune as “full of action, although the mud and water made good combination difficult.” Niagara Falls were left shorthanded for brief periods when Harper and Holmes were sent to the sidelines with minor injuries.

In the 75th minute, Pullman right back Blockey committed a foul in the penalty area, and Kemp stepped up for the Rangers to give the home side a 2-1 lead. With just ten minutes remaining, Pullman made several desperate attempts to even the score, but Niagara Falls held on to advance.

The Rangers moved on to represent Western New York in the final four of the inaugural National Challenge Cup, but despite the talented clubs in that region over the years, this has proven to be a rarity. It would be more than 80 years before another team from Western New York would reach the semifinals, when the Rochester Raging Rhinos advanced all the way to the championship game in 1996.

1914 Dewar Trophy (Spaulding) — *The Dewar Trophy*

Pullman FC became the eighth and final team to advance to the inaugural National Challenge Cup quarterfinals with a 4-2 victory over fellow Chicago club Hyde Park Blues.

With the game taking place at the beginning of the spring season in Chicago, the Chicago Daily Tribune noted that although the grounds were free of snow, the muddy conditions combined with the lack of fitness caused the pace of the game to slow down after about thirty minutes of play.

Pullman took a 3-1 halftime lead on goals from Pollitt, Shalcross and Mackie. Pollitt added another goal in the second half. Wright, a newcomer to the Blues roster, scored a goal in both halves for the losing side.

The win set up the car builders to travel north to face the Niagara Falls Rangers in the quarterfinal round, and also left them as the sole remaining western team in the tournament.

It should be noted that at this point in history, “western” cities were regarded as St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit. Until commercial airline travel became widespread in the 1950s, the Mississippi River was regarded as the “western frontier” as far as most national sports leagues and competitions in the United States were concerned.

The First Cup: Bethlehem FC’s protest denied as Quarterfinal draw announced (Feb. 16, 1914)

February 16, 2013 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

1914 Bethlehem FC — Bethlehem FC from the 1913/14 season.

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

The United States Football Association denied the protest put forth by the Bethlehem FC over their 1-0 loss to Brooklyn Field Club in the third round.

Bethlehem FC, who became Bethlehem Steel FC the following season, submitted a laundry list of complaints back on Jan. 30 including that Brooklyn was over a half-hour late to appear on the field. Bethlehem’s argument was that referee Charles E. Creighton should have either forfeited to Bethlehem or started the match before the Field Club team came out.

The rest of the protest centered on a number of players Bethlehem felt should not have been eligible to play. Bethlehem contended that H.H. Shanhold and H. Hynds should have been ineligible because they still had a case pending against them from an American Football Association cup game for accepting payment as amateur players.

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

Bethlehem also questioned Hinds’ eligibility on the grounds that he never signed a National Challenge Cup form, as well as goalkeeper W. Haughtie, whom Bethlehem claimed was not on the roster received from Brooklyn before the game.

After investigating the allegations, the USFA ruled in favor of the Brooklyn Field club and announced the draw for the round of eight:

There was just one third round match yet to be played as Pullman FC and Hyde Park Blues were delayed for weeks due to severe weather in Chicago. The game would not be played until March 8, 1914.

The First Cup: Four teams move on to Round 3, two more to be decided by protest or replay (Dec. 6, 1913)

December 7, 2012 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

1914 West Philadelphia — West Philadelphia FC in 1914

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

A pair of games had already kicked off the second round of the inaugural National Challenge Cup, but neither had produced a winner on game day. New York teams Hudson United FC and St. George FC finished in a scoreless draw on Nov. 30, and a replay was scheduled for Dec. 14. Rochester’ MacNaughton FC defeated the Niagara Falls Rangers 1-0, but the United States Football Association (USFA) was in the process of reviewing a protest submitted by the losing side.

1914 Kensington AFC — Kensington AFC from the 1913/14 season.

The second round continued with six games on Dec. 6, when action took place in Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New Bedford, Mass. In Philadelphia, the West Philadelphia FC advanced to the third round of the National Challenge Cup with a resounding 4-1 victory over Allied League rivals Kensington AFC. Ligget and Anderson scored two goals each for West Philly, while Dunkinfield netted the lone tally for Kensington. West Philadelphia had been sitting atop the Allied League standings with a 4-2-0 record, while Kensington occupied the bottom rung of the eight-team league at 0-5-0.

1914 Peabody — Peabody FC (Philadelphia, Pa.) from the 1913/14 season.

In what the Philadelphia Inquirer described as “A splendidly fought game”, Wissiniming and Peabody FC played to a 1-1 draw in their second round contest in Philly. Wissinoming, of the Pennsylvania League, scored first when midfielder R. Hyslop took a shot that Peabody goalkeeper Hanna has no chance to save. Maryley answered for the Allied American League side in the second half with the tying score. New Bedford FC, who were awarded their opening round match over Farr Alpaca when the Holyoke, Mass.-based club chose to play a league game instead of their replay at New Bedford, overcame Presbyterian FC of Bridgeport, CT by a 3-0 score. After Alpaca’s forfeit, New Bedford remained the state of Massachusetts’ lone representative and they moved on to Round 3 by eliminating the state of Connecticut’s only entry.

1914 New Bedford FC — New Bedford FC (New Bedford, Mass.) during the 1913/14 season.

Despite frigid winter conditions, Hyde Park Blues and Pullman FC each won their second round games in Chicago. At 52nd Avenue and West Madison Street, Pullman made easy work of Campbell Rovers with a 3-0 win, as they avenged a recent loss in the Association Football League of Chicago. With a biting breeze from the north, passing was made difficult on the slippery pitch that was frozen solid. These conditions reduced scoring chances to dumping the ball into the goalmouth and try for any kind of shot. Pullman had the clear advantage over Campbell, and their goalkeeper Sutton did not handle the ball at all in the first half, only needing to kick it away twice. After McNaughton and Mackie scored in the first half to give Pullman a 2-0 lead, the car builders bunkered down their defense and smothered any Campbell chances. Shalcross added a third goal in the second half to put the game out of reach. At 16th Street and 48th Avenue, the Hyde Park Blues outlasted MacDuff FC 2-0 in the arctic conditions on goals from Cole and Mair. Both sides were reduced to 10 men in the game, as Halsall of MacDuffs and Jack Evans of Hyde Park left the game late in the second half, due to complications from the cold.

1914 Braddock (vs. Bethlehem, Pittsburgh Press) — Braddock FC (Pittsburgh, Pa.) from the 1913/14 season.

Hyde Park will move on to face Pullman in the next round, although there was word that the MacDuff club would lodge a protest over a player in the Hyde Park lineup, who they believed to be ineligible. This protest, along with Niagara Falls Rangers’ protest over their loss against MacNaughton FC, will be reviewed by the USFA and ruled on before the Round 3 draw on Dec. 14. The main attraction of the day was the showdown between Pittsburgh’s Braddock FC and Bethlehem FC at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Braddock had just concluded the first half of the Pittsburgh District League, finishing second (6-1-2) to Homestead Steel Works, though they would later slip down the standings in the second half and finish with a 7-10-3 record. Bethlehem was at the beginning of a season that would provide a glimpse of the future success the team would have when they would become Bethlehem Steel FC the following season. At the time of the game with Braddock, Bethlehem was 3-0-0 in the Allied American League and they were due to face West Hudson in the quarterfinals of the American Cup. By the time their season ended in May 1914, they had won the Allied League with a 13-0-0 record, the American Cup championship and the Allied League Cup.

Despite the threat of poor weather, nearly 3,000 fans, along with 250 supporters who traveled from Bethlehem, turned up at Forbes Field to witness the first National Cup game ever played in the Steel City. Braddock kicked off and just twelve minutes into the match, Bethlehem was awarded a penalty kick. Tommy Fleming stepped up and beat Braddock goalkeeper Marshall for a 1-0 lead, which Bethlehem held on to at half time. For most of the first half, play stayed in the Braddock half of the field, but in the second half Braddock came to life, and with ten minutes gone, Kelly tied the score for the home club. It only took ten more minutes for Braddock to retake the lead on a goal from McCann. The Pittsburgh Press described McCann’s play leading up to the goal as a “scientific exhibition of footwork.”

With five minutes remaining, it seemed as if Braddock would pull off the upset, but Fleming dashed those hopes with a free kick to tie the game at 2-2. With darkness approaching, the lights at Forbes Field were turned on and extra time was soon under way. With two minutes remaining in the first extra period, Fleming earned his hat trick with a goal that put Bethlehem in the lead for good. Fleming’s play was described by the Pittsburgh Press: “This player was by far the best man on the visiting team. He is scientific and as fast as the wind. His aim is sure and his opponents’ goal is in danger when he secures the ball within kicking range.”

The 1913-14 season was Fleming’s first in the United States, having played in Scotland for Greenock Morton. Fleming was lured to the United States, along with numerous other English and Scottish players, by offers of substantially better wages than what was offered at home. His Hall of Fame career would run to 1929, and in his time with Bethlehem he would win the National Challenge Cup four times, the American Cup five times, as well as numerous other league championships.

Note of Interest: Yonkers FC was listed as being the “present cup holder”!

This is because the Dewar Cup had been originally created in 1913 for a different tournament, the A.A.F.A. Cup Tie Competition (which was only held that one year). Yonkers FC won that tournament, but those games are not officially counted as part of U.S. Open Cup history.
