League Report

The second American Soccer League to take the name “Eastern Professional Soccer League”, the league arose out of a dispute between three clubs (New York Giants, Bethlehem Steel and Newark) and the American Soccer League I. The three clubs defied the ASL and entered the US Open Cup, and the ASL then banned them. The USFA (which ran the US Open Cup at the time) then responded by creating the EPSL, which added teams from the Southern New York State Association (SNYSA). The EPSL II played three seasons (Fall 1928, and Spring & Fall 1929) before merging with the ASL I after a peace deal to form the Atlantic Coast League.

At the time Soccer was the big Professional Sport in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England, with Professional American Football (the NFL) most popular in Ohio, Upstate New York, New York City and the Mid-West (Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois, Michigan).

Irish Players

Bethlehem Steel included the Irish players Pitt, who joined from Newry Town, as well as McMeekim and Gibson.All three players joined Glentoran in Northern Ireland for the 1931-32 Irish Football League season. [Reference: 2]

American Soccer League II Champions 1933-1967 [References: 1]

Report

Kearney Irish won the American Soccer League in 1933-34 – usually called ASL II as there was an American Soccer League from 1921 to 1933 which was a different League despite the same name. It was the first season of the new League which was to be dominated by teams referencing immigrant groups.

Kearny scots won the League from 1936 to 1941 and from 1941 to 1953 Philadelphia Nationals and Philadelphia Americans won 9 Championships between them. New York Hakoah, a Jewish-American team won from 1956-1958 and from 1960 to 1964 the winners were Ukrainian Nationals Philadelphia.

The last winners of the American Soccer League II as a Major League were the Baltimore St. Gerards, who may also have had Irish connections.

While the ASL II operated as the Men’s Major Soccer League in the USA from 1933 to 1967 it was superceded by the North American Soccer League which ran from 1967 to 1983. The ASL II continued to operate as a second level also until 1983.
