Abstract:

Records of a Milwaukee-based bowling association for Americans of Polish ancestry founded in 1928 by John A. Schultz and others. Included are articles of incorporation, a constitution and by-laws, correspondence, minutes, newsclippings, contracts and other legal documents, address lists, photographs, and records of the annual tournaments. The popularity of bowling among members of Milwaukee's (and Chicago's) Polish community is illustrated by the numerous entries in the tournaments. During the 1950s, this popularity declined and the tournaments were discontinued after 1962.
