March 10, 1929 – Fall River Marksmen 3:2 Philadelphia

Post by

Fall River products Bert Patenaude (Marksmen) and Freddie Wall (Philadelphia) scored twice as the Fall River Marksmen edged Philadelphia. Scottish inside forward Johnny Grainger converted the Marksmen’s other goal. Patenaude, 19, would go on to complete the first hat trick in World Cup history in 1930 in Uruguay. Wall performed for Philadelphia and other teams in the ASL and other leagues.

U.S.-born players were beginning to emerge on the professional soccer scene and several of them became accomplished goal-scorers: Davey Brown, Buff Donelli, Tommy Florie, Billy Gonsalves, Arnie Oliver. Patenaude totaled 118 goals, 13th on the all-time ASL list, but the league folded when he was 21 years old. Wall scored 19 goals in 23 games during the 1929 ASL season.
