The game was originally an outdoor game until about 1840 and was popular with gamblers. Ninepins was originally an outdoor sport until about 1840. The state of Connecticut banned the game in 1841 to keep the gambling out of the game. In the end, indoor lane owners added one pin to their alleys to skirt the rules.
Clubs tried organizing and establishing set rules. Nevertheless, the American Bowling Congress didn't convene in 1895 at Beethoven Hall in New York City until 1895. The American Bowling Congress set a maximum score of 300 that still stands today. They also established other laws, such as lane length, widths, and distances between pins, in addition to pin distances.
Turkey
When a bowler successfully throws three strikes in a row, a bowler is called "turkey." Struggle was impossible before the lanes became slick and beautiful as they are today. Around the late 1800s, at Thanksgiving time, players who bowled three strikes in a row would have turkeys from restaurants and clubs. Whether you're looking for turkeys or not. With the holiday coming, taking home a prize turkey after a fun night of bowling would certainly top off the evening. It seems that this could be the reason for the game's three strikes.
In one particularly rousing report from the 30th of November 1894, The Standard Union out of Brooklyn, New York, suggested that the Lobster Bowling Club may have been mistook for a "college football game" they had made. Both teams celebrated so much during their turkey competition that it extended to the streets. As they all sang, two teammates carried the turkey dangling from a pole up the street in the wee hours of the morning. The tale never revealed who took the turkey. The truth never revealed who took the turkey.
Today, bowling tournaments of all ages, women, and mixed teams of all ages compete around the world. Weekly league bowling provides a fun experience as well as excellent physical fitness.
