The game was originally an outdoor game until about 1840 and was popular with gamblers. In 1841, the state of Connecticut banned the game from being played out the gambling, in order to shut down the gaming. As a result, indoor lane owners added one pin to their alleys in an attempt to violate the rules.
Clubs tried organizing and establishing set rules. However, the American Bowling Congress didn't convene at Beethoven Hall in New York City until 1895. The American Bowling Congress set a maximum score of 300, which still stands today. In addition, they established other laws, such as lane length, widths, and distances between pins.
Turkey
When a bowler hits three strikes in a row, a bowler successfully throws three strikes in a row, a bowler is called "turkey." Getting consecutive strikes was difficult 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. As the holiday season approaches, take home a prize turkey after a fun night of bowling would certainly top off the evening.. This seems to be the cause of the game's three strikes.
The Lobster Bowling Club may have been mistaken for a "college football game" they had made, according to one particularly rousing report from the 30th of November 1894. The Standard Union out of Brooklyn, New York, suggested that the Lobster Bowling Club had been mistaken for a "college football game" they had made. The two teams enjoyed so much during their turkey competition that it extended to the streets. Two teammates carried the turkey dangling from a pole up the street as they all sang in the wee hours of the morning. Who wins the turkey was never revealed. The tale never told who won the turkey.
