Jan. 11, 1930 – Bethlehem Steel 1:1 Fall River Marksmen

Archie Stark opened the scoring, Fall River’s Billy Gonsalves equalizing in the 87th minute. Marksmen goalkeeper Johnny Reder, a future Boston Red Sox first baseman, preserved the deadlock by deflecting a Stark shot off the bar. From the Bethlehem Globe-Times: “A speedy shot coming off the boot of Archie Stark, the ball grazing the fingers of the outstretched reach of the tall and rangy Reder, the visitors’ custodian, and slightly deflected upwards in its course to crash against the crossbar and drop to the feet of the goalie from where it was cleared, was the scant margin by which the Bethlehem soccer team was denied victory in the torrid scrap against Fall River on Saturday afternoon.”
