Boston Bears (soccer)
The Boston Bears were a member of the American Soccer League, competing in 1931 and 1932.[1] The club had originally been known as the Boston Soccer Club, and had competed in the ASL from 1924 to 1929, as well as the International Soccer League from 1926.[1] After suspending operations during the 1929–1930 season, the club was relaunched and operated as the Boston Bears, until it folded in 1933.[1]
History
In 1931, the newly renamed club signed new players including Charley O'Hare, a former Wonder Workers star who was released by Brittain Fall River, and Sammy Brown.[2] Other players included Billy Stevenson, who had previously played one or two games with the old Wonder Workers team.[2]
On March 30, 1931, the Bears suffered its worst defeat of the season, losing to the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds 8–1, in front of a crowd of 1500.[3]
