[edit] Professional career

Lehman was a member of Stix, Baer and Fuller F.C. (SBF) which played in the St. Louis Soccer League (SLSL). In 1934, Lehman and his team mates won their second consecutive National Challenge Cup title. That year, St. Louis Central Brewery became the team sponsor for a single season. Breweries went on to win the 1935 Open Cup. Following the Cup win, the team became the St. Louis Shamrocks and left the SLSL. Lehman remained with the team until it folded in 1938.

[edit] National team

Following their 1934 Open Cup victory, several of the SBF players, including Lehman, were then selected for the U.S. national team at the World Cup. Lehman earned his one cap with the U.S. national team in its qualification victory over Mexico just prior to the cup.^[1]
