Soccer Players Plan to Do
a Little Kicking Tomorrow

Soccer football will again be in full
swing tomorrow. providing the wind
does not yeer n bring down
some more Arctic weather and snow.
The weather man, however, has made
favorable predictions, and the oppor-
tunity of seeing some real soccer games
is again at hand.
The West Hudsons are leading the
National League with fourteen points
to their credit, but their lead is none
too solid, as the True Blues are only
enc point behind.
Tomorrow the West Hudsons will
play the Paterson Rangers at Pater-
son, and while the two teams are not
bitter rivals, the contest should be a
thriller. The Hudsons are set on cap
turing the championship, and woe to
those who cross their paths is their
motto.
The game, which will be staged at
Olympic Park, Paterson, will also be
of interest, because II will mark the
first meeting of these two teams, and
both are still In the American cup com
petition. 1t will furnish ar excellent
opportunity to compare their merits. A
big delegation of rooters will accom-
pany the team, which will leave the
corner Of Central avenue and Fourth
streets, Harrison. tomorrow at 1880
O'Clock sharp.
Scots W.. Bronx United.
The Scottish-Americans will mean
while be playing the Bronx United
eleven. of New York, at Wiedenmayer's
Dorlr where the grounds are in fair
shape. The Scots were badly handi-
capped by accidents and injuries to
star players, but are now in fair shape.
The game win be a National League
affair also and will get under way at 8
O'Clock shrrp.

the Newark Club cannot be expected

REVISION OF NATIONAL
AGREEMENT SURE
OF APPROVAL

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Failure of the
American League magnates to ratify
the changes In the National agreement

nicating with johnson. Hermann said:
THE American League has left the
matter of the revised agreement In
President Johnson's hands and there Is

that the national agreement has been
adopted by the American League in It's
revised form"
