NB: the semifinals were drawn as above on the evening of the 8th; however, on
    matchday, Ajax were told they had to play Sochaux (generally considered
    the strongest side in the tournament) and Liersche would play Wisła; Ajax
    refused to comply and after an hour and a half of discussions the matches
    were played as originally drawn.

                        Fischer, Ten Have, Blomvliet, Schubert, Mulders;

                          Courtois, Szabó, Simonyi, A. Abegglen, Belko]

NB: at the prize ceremony, first prize (a big silver cup) was handed to Sochaux and
    second prize (a smaller silver cup) to Liersche; the Ajax players were handed
    bronze medals, which they refused to accept; Sochaux went home with the cup but
    after a few days and mediation by the Belgian FA, Sochaux handed the cup to Ajax.
