March 21, 1925 – Shawsheen Indians 2:0 Bayonne FC, National Challenge Cup (U.S. Open Cup) Eastern semifinal at Walpole St. Grounds, Boston

Edmund Smith opened the scoring in the second half as Shawsheen Indians continued their path to the 1925 U.S. Open Cup championship. Smith played for Arboath FC in Scotland, then joined Shawsheen and Bethlehem Steel, earning a cap for the U.S. national team in 1926. Smith resided in Andover, Mass., for most of his life.

“The New Jersey outfit played brilliant soccer all the way and, but for lost chances in the first half, might have won,” according to The Boston Globe.
