It turned into quite a tussle (a draw) with Corinthians only losing in a replay. Until 1932, Corinthians were exempt from the early rounds of the Cup and joined the fray at the 3rd round. When they played the big professional clubs, they attracted huge crowds of 30 - 40,000, especially in a three-game thriller with Millwall in 1930.
