Inaugural BMSL 1937-38 season

Posted on Nov. 18, 2021, 1:10 p.m. |  Categories:  Baltimore BMSL

The Baltimore Major Soccer League was created as a higher-level men's amateur league embracing the stronger teams from the Southeastern and Maryland leagues. Eight clubs took part in the inaugural season: Bethlehem S.C. from Dundalk; Colonial S.C.; German Sports Club; Maryland-Germans (a second team from the German Sports Club); Parkville; St. Gerard Y.M.A.; M. Shaivitz; and Wingfoot S.C. Parkville disbanded in December after 5 straight losses. St. Gerard showed why it was the best club in the Baltimore-area winning the league and the Rowland Cup, Maryland's open competition. St. Gerard also made it all the way to the National Amateur Cup Eastern final before losing 3-0 to Ponta Delgada at Bigberry Stadium in Fall River, Mass.
