Sept. 21 (1947)

The amateur Municipal Soccer League says two of its top teams will have new sponsors: Correnti Cleaners will be sponsored by Joe Simpkins Motors, and Carondelet, the U.S. Amateur Cup runner-up the previous season, will be sponsored by Southern Equipment Company (SECO). Simpkins will leave the Muny League and will join the new professional St. Louis Major Soccer League for the 1947-48 season. Simpkins will become one of the nation’s top teams, winning the 1948 and 1950 U.S. Open Cup titles. SECO will make its mark as a sponsor of three winners of the national Junior Cup (today’s boys’ under-19 McGuire Cup) in 1951, 1971 and 1972.
