Confusing names

Victor Talking Machine of Camden, New Jersey[1] sponsored a team, known as Victor T.M. Another team, also known as Victor F.C., was based in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. There is a reference to another Victor F.C. playing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2] This team could be either the team in Camden or the one in Bethlehem as Camden and Philadelphia sit adjacent to each other in the Delaware Valley and Bethlehem teams frequently played in the Philadelphia leagues. However, this is unlikely as both Victor F.C. of Philadelphia and Victor T.M. of Camden played in the 1914-1915 Allied League.[3]
