Fall River Marksmen

Sam Mark founded the Marksmen in 1922 and built Mark's Stadium just over the state line in North Tiverton, Rhode Island, so the club could play on Sundays, which Massachusetts blue laws forbade. Fall River won seven of nine ASL titles between 1923 and 1930 before Mark moved the team to New York in 1931.

Points per game by season. A league season only, oldest first. Points per game rather than points, because the schedule has run anywhere from 20 games to 34. Points are as the league awarded them, which has not always been three for a win. Select a column for that season; the table below carries every figure.
