Trenton qualified for the next three cups, exiting in the second round in 1927, first round in 1928 and the second round in 1929. In 1927-1928, a newspaper article mentions that the team played in the National League.^[1] However, the name “National League” was commonly used for minor, local amateur leagues at the time. Its only known player was Albert Cooper who was a member of the U.S. soccer team at the 1928 Summer Olympics.
