During the 1928-1929 bowling
season, the Sandusky Eagles had eight teams in its league. Each team was
named for a different portion of the eagle: Heads, Tails, Claws, Spurs, Feathers,
Beaks, Legs, and Wings. Winners of the Eagles Bowling League in April, 1929
were the Heads. Members of the team included: Frank Golden, Dr. John J. Atkins,
Robert Giessman, Ralph Andrews, Edward J. Shafer, and Herman Popke. Dr. John J.
Atkins was the Eagles physician, but he had to step down in September, 1929 due
to poor health. Bowling has been a
popular leisure activity since the late nineteenth century, and is enjoyed by
individuals in over ninety countries.
