ON THIS DATE

In 1938. Joeseph Kittell became the first local bowler to bowl a sanctioned 800 series when he posted an 825 on games of 247, 299, and 279 in the Montour League on lanes 1-2 at the Masonic Lanes. It was believed to be the 13th highest series bowled nationally at that time. It would be another 19 years before another 800 series was bowled locally.

Hope to see you on the lanes.
