Date: 1904

Bowling was growing fast in the industrial Northeast and the Midwest in the early 1900s as legions of workers turned to bowling as an after-work activity. Bowlers represented 32 cities at the 1904 American Bowling Congress tournament in Cleveland, with Cleveland, Chicago, Akron, Toledo, Milwaukee, Wheeling, Detroit, Erie and Buffalo contributing the most.
