Alter ldy1nS OH TOT a. 1ull week lilt Babcock- Wilcox Field Club will be seen in action again in Bayonne on Sunday afternoon. The Babs will meet the fast Triangle soccorites from Jersey City in a struggle to de- termine whether the Bayonne team is to enter the semi-finaI round for the New Jersey championship.
 The Babcock- Wilson team is 8 junior organization that has been do ing wonderful work this season. Re gently they met the American A. 4. team, composed of National League players, and gave that team a stiff battle. They lost by the close score of to 1, but all who looked on agree that it was a hard fight.
 The Babs are the present holders of the New Jersey championship and they do not intend giving it up with out a hard struggle. They will pre- sent their best lineup, every man of which will be In top form.
 And, by the way, negotiations are underway for a game between the Babcock- Wilcox team and the Stand ard oil F. C. aggregation for the Day OIlilS CIdIl JlOilSIl1p p IL Is pI U i posed to stage a. series, but it is hoped that the clubs will succeed in ar ranging at least two games before the season closes.
 The semi-flnal in the A. F. A. Cup competition will be decided at Olyn ! pic park in Paterson and Clarks grounds in East Newark. This in l formation comes from a reliable source, but the announcement is far ] from satisfactory. It seems that the , old organization has made absolutely no progress in its 30 years experi- | ence.
 l To play such important contests on 1 grounds where there is absolutely no proper accommodation for a crowd l that usually attends the games is posi- tive evidence that the present off cials are no better informed as to | what soccer enthusiasts desire and want than their predecessors. 1 4 little more consideration for the public and the application of com mon sense tactics to their plans will do soccer a world of good. l George Post, who is playing with the Paterson team, has apparently completely recovered from the l wound he received while fighting the Hun in France. His behavior in last ] Sundays game was a revelation to i his many friends George was con- fined to a base hospital for several weeks suffering from a machine gun bullet wound But he was a source of much worry for the Paterson teams opponents, the Fore Rivers, last Sunday.

 The Holyoke players to whom the soldier has reference to are himself Joe Allen and Jim Smith. They were i on the Central Ontario Regimen eleven. That team figured in 2 clash at London for the soccer cham pionship of the Canadian army. The Ontarios lost.
