Talk:St. Louis Soccer League

message: The 50-51 season had been played at Sportsman's Park which was the league location for four years and admission was 85 cents. The 51-52 season changed to North Side Sports Arena with admission reduced to 60 cents. The North Side Park was previously for softball but was remodeled for soccer. The capacity was 3000 and the dimensions were 70 x 100 yards, slighty shorter than at Sportsman's. The league was to start on September 16 but the remodeling took longer so the start date was pushed back to the 30th. It had a 24-game schedule with Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night doubleheaders. The teams involved were the Simpkins, Raiders, Brehenys, and (Joe) Spicas. Opening day rosters: Brehenys- King, Italiano, Grant, Silberberg, Roache, Carenza, Beckman, Figher, Dueker, Meier, Dowd, Weishez, Randazzo, Miriana. Spica- Burkard, Lanigan, Keough, Saputo, Spica, Kehm, Dolan, Cassidy, Cook, Looby, McCluskey, LaGrasso, White, Foster, Ruddy.

The teams involved were Carondelet Sunday Morning Club, Schumachers, Zenthoefers, and Kutis. Zenthoefers had sponsored the Raiders in 50-51, while Kutis would sponsor the Raiders in 52-53.
