FIRST PERFECT GAME ON THIS DAY IN 1913

William (Bill) Knox

William Knox of Philadelphia rolled the first perfect 300 game in tournament
competition history in the USBC Open Championships in Toledo, Ohio. He
had a reputation for match game and league bowling in the East. Knox once
rolled a 300 game with a screen at the foul line so he couldn’t see the pins
for the purpose of illustrating the effectiveness of spot bowling.
