June 10, 1924 – Poland 2:3 U.S. in Warsaw (Att.: 8,000)

This was the seventh official international match for the U.S. national team (4W-2L-1D), according to the Society for American Soccer History. Brockton’s Herbert “Birdie” Wells’ third-minute goal opened the scoring and Fleisher Yarn’s Andy Stradan (formerly of Fore River) converted in the 30th and 47th minutes.

George M. Collins, identified as “Globe Soccer Editor and Manager of the United States Olympic Soccer Team,” authored the story in the Boston Globe.

The U.S. contingent also included Brockton’s George Burford (coach) and Fred “Teddy” O’Connor (Lynn GE).

The U.S. then lost, 3-1, to Ireland in Dublin June 14, 1924. The trip, which began with two matches in the Paris Olympics, had been successful in many ways, according to Collins. But the U.S. did not play another international match for more than a year and did not return to Europe until the 1928 Olympics.
