ATLANTA SOCCER TEAM
MEETS BIRMINGHAM TO-DAY

much the same position as does baseball
in the United States, and this fact as
sures the sport lovers of Birmingham
that the contest will be up to real ag-
gressive form.
In meeting the Atlanta aggregation
the local soccer warriors take on prob
ably the most formidable soccer club
during which the Cracker soccerists havs
been playing in the south. Last winter
they went through the entire season
without sustaining a single defeat. ON
the other hand Fort Mcpherson, Chatta
nooga, Auburn and others were easy vic
tins to the ATLANTA cracks
While this is the first time that organ
lied soccer has been attempted here. tho
sport has proved exceedingly popular
with enthusiasts in the inter-district
games played thus far, and it is safe TO
predict that large crowd will gather
at Rickwood Field this afternoon when
the local public will have an opportun-
lty TO see the first real inter-city soccer
contest ever staged in Birmingham
The contest should be a fast and hard
1ought one throughout. Birmingham has
been preparing for the game for some
weeks, and although meeting admittedly
one of the best clubs that the south af-
lords, the local association has high
ropes OF getting away with the victory.
Atlanta has also made much preparation
Tor the bout and promises to give the
birmingham athletes hard run before
they are counted out at the last whistle.
The lineup of the two teams this aft
ernoon will probably be:
