dc.description Members of the Grand Trunk soccer team sit for a photo with their 2013 Southern Michigan Soccer League championship trophy. The team received regular coverage in the Battle Creek press — the champs in October 1914 even hosted a Montreal team whose lineup included "Johnnie Orr, the Ty Cobb of Soccer." The Battle Creek team had played in Montreal the previous year, losing 4-0 but winning the praise of soccer critics who wrote that "the Grand Trunk aggregation was the best 'foreign eleven that ever played on home grounds.'" en_US
