----------------------------------------------------------------

Holley Carbuertor became the first team from Detroit to reach the

Final of the National, Challenge Cup, defeating Sparta A & BA 2-1

in front of 7,000 at Chicago. Gerrit Visser paced the Motor City

kickers with both goals. Visser scored the first goal after twenty-five

minutes in the first half. Adolph Burger equalized for Sparta a couple

minutes after halftime, heading in a corner kick from Cerveny. The

level scores lasted only minutes however, as Visser found the net

once again to give Holley the lead again. Later in the game, Burger

had a change to bring his club level once more, as Sparta was

awarded a penalty kick. Burger's shot was saved by Dick, preserving

the advantage. Sparta continued to press for the remainder of the

game, but the Holly defense held on to preserve their spot in the final
