Good Games On Soccer Calender For
 The Next Two Days

Soccer interest in this state will, this week, be centered in the games to be played in the semi-finaI round of the state cup competition in this city and South Manchester. The To- cal game will be played at the Mead ows where the Bridgeport City team will meet the local Swedish aggrega- ton in the second contest between them in the semi-finaI round.
 The teams have already met four times this season and the Swedes have managed to win one of the games although on the other occa- sons they were just-as good as Man ager Bridges boys. The teams met in the first round of the National Cup competition in the Fall and all who saw the game will agree that the Swedes were the better team and deserved to win on that occasion as only a goal separated the teams at the finish while the Swedes were a two-goal better team. Several weeks later the same two teams met again and this time the Swedes showed that they could beat the City team and ran away with 20 victory.
 The teams met two weeks ago at
 
 semi-finaI round and as home-and- home game are to be played in this round with all goals scored counting. it means that the City team will start the game Sunday with lead of two goals. This great disadvantage is not troubling the Swedish manage ment Manager Bridges. however, states that he is not going to take fTT1 team in the field for the occasion. II Is interesting to note that George Mason will be on the Swedish team this week as he has notified Secre- tary Peterson to that effect.
 The game will start promptly at 3:15 D. m. with Bobby Rae of this city as referee. The writer will act as the state association delegate and | look after the financial interests ot 1 the association. Should Drinkwatei | be registered with the City team ht will not be eligible to play in thi! ] game as only the players who were i eligible to play in the first game, vii | be allowed.
 | The ThistIes will travel to Sout1 Manchester fully determined or l beating the Silk City team in tn, semi-final round of the competition | The team had hard luck last Sunda, in being beaten at the Meadows b. l the only goal of the game and tn management put it down to inen l cIent forwards and cratic play il l front of goal. The defense is strOn!
 for there is no better in the state to day. but with a couple of change
 in the front line, Manager Kelly i sure of success in this game Tn

team will travel to Manchester in 1 auto trucks and the management has made preparations for an en-, joyable trip as one of the leading l concertina players of the city has been engaged to travel with the i team.
 Just what the team will constitute will not be known until tomorrow evening when the two teams will be published in The Times, the official soccer newspaper of the state. George Denholm of Ansonia, will ac company the team and ofiCiate in the game as the referee and all who know Georges abilities as a knight
 of the whistle" state that he is the
 best in the state at the present time.
 The Bridgeport Thistle team held
 a very successful smoker at the True
 Blue bandroom on Tuesday evening,
 when the room was packed all even
 ing to overflowing. The manage
 ment of the team is certainly to be congratuIated on getting together such a fine brand of artists as the program was kept going all evening. It proved a great financial success to the team and it is certain that an other one will be eheId in the course of the next two or three weeks.
 Tomorrow afternoon the Paterson | and Bethlehem teams will again meet 1 in final tie The teams met last i week at Fall River in the final round | of the National Cup competition where the Bethlehem won the game 1 luckily by the score of two goals to none This week. however. the game will be played on the ground of the 1 Disston A. A. club at Tacony, Pa,
 in the final round of the American | Football association cup competition. 1 The two teams have always been ! rivals and last season the Patersons won the National League by one point | over the Beth1ehen2s This season the latter won the league race quite 1 easily. The Paterson team is the ia | vorite for this weeks game and with the contest being played near home lit is expected that there will be a large crowd of the clubs supporters
 present. The game was originally
 booked to be played at the Federal 1 League park at Harrison.

FEDERATION IS
 LIVELY TOPIC

Followers of tennis in this country are very much interested in the United States National Lawn Tennis Associations negotiations regarding membership in the International Ten his Federation. This body was form ed in 1914, just before the world war broke out, and the American associa- tion did not at that time deem it wise to join.
 Now, with the world coming back to normal and international tennis coming up as a bigger proposition than ever, the |. s. N. L. T. A. would like to obtain membership in the fed eration. However, certain conditions appear to preclude America joining until divers changes are made in the federation's rules,
