The Mona A.F.C., Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.
The runners-up in the competition for the Bowler Cup were the Mona A.F.C. team, which is composed of Manxmen After a well-fought game, in the final round, Lorain just managed to beat the Manx-American players by a narrow margin of one goal to nothing. The Manxmen, according to the Cleveland newspapers, played plucky and clever football, and they appear to have had " hard lines" in not making the match a draw. It was within three minutes of time being called when the only goal was scored. The Manx team are described by one Press critic as being "far ahead of any that has ever booted the ball in this vicinity outside of the Corinthians." The photo. is by Mr. J. T. Kinnish, formerly of Douglas, and now of Cleveland.
