My grandfather, Stephen R Sullivan, was a part of that Fall River hotbed in the city’s 2nd division amateur (semi-pro?) South End League during the 1920s. Here he is with the Park Alleys (kneeling, 2nd from left), which was sponsored by one of the city’s several duck pin bowling alleys at the time.
