The First Cup: Violence halts Yonkers, New York Celtic match; Niagara Falls Rangers win snowy match in Detroit (Feb. 1, 1914)

February 1, 2013 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

1914 New York Celtic — New York Celtic 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.

The Lenox Oval was the scene of a wild third round affair between Yonkers FC and New York Celtic. With Yonkers leading 3-1 with twenty minutes remaining in the second half, Celtics J. Duffy fouled a Yonkers player who was on the ground. Referee George Caldicott ordered Duffy off the field, but Duffy refused to leave. An unidentified Yonkers player then struck Duffy and was sent off as well.

Duffy finally left the field, but retuned to attack Caldicott, causing him to be removed from the field by two policemen. Ten minutes later Waters, right fullback for the Celtics, was ordered off for rough play. Waters also refused to leave the field, leading Caldicott to stop the game with ten minutes to play.

In Detroit, Michigan, the Roses FC hosted the Niagara Falls Rangers, and the visitors came away with a 2-0 victory to advance to the quarterfinals.

The field at Maloney’s Park was covered with a foot of snow, and the Detroit Free Press described both teams as “displaying a very fair brand of the English game” despite the conditions.

In the opening minutes of the game Shankland and Munshow almost gave the hosts an early lead. The Free Press noted that the Rangers should have ended the first half three goals ahead, but the deep snow provided a great handicap towards their efforts.

In the second half, Roses goalkeeper Stansfield made a few outstanding saves to keep the game scoreless, but in the 60th minute his goal was finally breached by Wallace. The Roses had their chances in equalizing, with Horton and Miller missing chances, and eventually Wallace scored his second goal of the game after Stansfield saved two successive shots.

It was noted by the Free Press that the Roses players were much smaller and faster than their Rangers counterparts, but the heavy snow negated their speed advantage.

The remaining third round game between Chicago’s Pullman FC and Hyde Park Blues was called off due to weather, and would eventually be played on March 8, 1914.

The First Cup: Rochester’s MacNaughton Rangers forfeit replay with Niagara Falls Rangers (Jan. 12, 1914)

January 13, 2013 by Chuck Nolan Jr.

In another twist to what had been a soap opera-like series of events, the MacNaughton Rangers announced they would not be able to make the trip to take on the Niagara Falls Rangers on Jan. 18 for their second round replay. The MacNaughton management sent word to Niagara Falls that a number of their players had fallen ill, and another two players were out of town and unavailable.

1914 McNaughton Rangers — McNaughton Rangers during the 1913/14 season

The Niagara Falls Rangers protested their 1-0 second round loss on the grounds that MacNaughton’s Bliss had signed an amateur form with the club and was holding a position as a paid high school coach, which, according to the USFA, made him a professional. The federation initially denied the protest on Dec. 14 pending further investigation. After looking into the matter more closely, the USFA reversed their decision and granted the replay on Jan. 5 and also fined MacNaughton $15 for failing to handle admission properly for the original game that took place on Nov. 30.

With the forfeit, Niagara Falls moves on to play Detroit’s Roses FC in the third round.

Niagara Falls manager Glasgow had mixed emotions about the announcement.

“Their decision is all right, but we would have much rather won our way through,” he told the Niagara Falls Gazette. As for the prospect of playing soccer in Detroit in February, Glasgow seemed less enthusiastic.

“We’ll go alright. It’s going to be an expensive trip, and the prospects of a big gate in Detroit are not very bright in the middle of winter.” Glasgow then smiled and added, “I don’t know whether we’ll ever get back, though.”

The MacNaughton forfeit marked the third walkover of the tournament in the first two rounds. The other two took place in Round 1. The first was Tacony FC’s forfeit to Kensington AFC when they chose to play an American Cup game that was scheduled on the same day. The other was when Farr Alpaca of Massachusetts decided they would not be able to travel to New Bedford for the replay of their protested 1-0 loss.

A detailed look back at the 1913/1914 National Challenge Cup

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
Hudson United or St. George’s FC at Peabody FC
MacNaughton Rangers* at Roses FC or Packard FC
Hyde Park Blues at Pullman FC
