A CONVENIENT LOCATION
Date: 1915
Over 100 teams, including the Howard Six team pictured here, participated in the 15th annual ABC tournament at the Peoria Coliseum in Peoria, Illinois, in March 1915. The site was chosen due to its proximity to two hotbeds of American bowling, including Chicago and St. Louis. In the end, the Barry Kettlers narrowly edged out the New Havens, 2,907 to 2,892, to take home the team championship.
