Jimmy Montgomerie, who played 303 ASL games (297 for the Whalers), scoring 45 goals, presented with “a loving cup and purse of gold.” Montgomerie, a center half, continued to perform for the Whalers after the ASL folded in 1931. The Boston Globe account of the match notes Montgomerie “has taken part in 317 games.” Montgomerie served in the Canadian Armed Forces in World War I and World War II, receiving the Military Medal and Military Cross. Montgomerie remained popular in Southeastern Massachusetts, returning for a benefit dinner in 1963, according to Colin Jose’s American Soccer League 1921-31/The Golden Years of American Soccer.
