To speed up the game, they frequently had only five pins set up. Thomas F. Ryan, owner of the Temperance Street Bowling Club, in 1909 was inspired to create a new sport based on that idea. He had five pins whittled down and he set up a system in which each pin was assigned a number of points from 1 to 5. Five-pin bowling caught on quickly. The first league was formed in Toronto in 1910. Two years later, a rubber band circling the throat of the pins was added to increase the amount of action. The first women's league was established in Toronto in 1921 and two years later the sport was introduced to Western Canada. That resulted in the founding of the Canadian Bowling Association, based in Toronto, 1927. However, bowlers in Western Canada adopted their own scoring system in 1930. Ryan's original system had assigned the values 4, 2, 1, 3, and 5 to the 1 through 5 pins respectively. The Western system used the values 1, 4, 5, 3, and 2. In 1944, the Western Canadian Five-Pin Bowling Assocation was founded in Regina, Saskatchewan. The two areas of the country continued with their own scoring systems until 1952, when a new national system was established, assigning the values 2, 3, 5, 3 and 2 to the five pins.

Extractions: World History (home) Encyclopedia Index Localities Companies Surnames ... This Week in History Five-pin bowling is a variation on ten-pin bowling which is popular in Canada, where most bowling alleys offer it, either alone or in combination with tenpin bowling. It was devised in the early twentieth century to offer bowlers the chance to play a game during a half-hour lunch break. This goal was achieved by using smaller balls which travel faster than tenpin balls and which can be thrown in rapid succession. The balls in five-pin are small enough to fit in the hand and therefore have no fingerholes. There are, naturally, five pins, arranged in a V. In size they are midway between duckpins and tenpins, and they have a heavy rubber band around their middles to make them move farther when struck. The centre pin is worth five points if knocked down, those either side, three each, and the outermost pins, two each, giving a total of fifteen for the lot. In each frame, each player gets three attempts to knock all five pins over. Knocking all five pins down with the first ball is a strike, which means the score achieved by the player's first two balls of the next frame or frames are added to his or her score for the strike. They are also, of course, counted in their own frames, so in effect they count double. A player who takes two balls to knock all the pins down gets a spare, which means the first ball of the next frame counts double. As in ten-pin, if either of these happen in the last frame, the player gets to take one or two shots at a re-racked set of pins immediately. A perfect score is 450, which is probably attained less frequently than perfect tenpin scores are.

Extractions: In 1905, Tommy Ryan opened the first regulation tenpin bowling alley in Canada on the second floor of the Boisseau Building in Toronto. It was an elite and private club with a piano, a string orchestra, and potted palm trees. When customers complained about the size and weight of the tenpin balls, Ryan had his father reduce the size of the pins to approximately three-quarters of the originals. He spaced five of them equally apart on the tenpin triangle and used a hand-sized rubber ball to knock them down. He also devised a special scoring system for the new game. Five-pin bowling is unique to Canada and very popular. Thomas Ryan was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1971, ten years after his death.

Extractions: Borderline Bowl-o-rama - Amy King At first glance, the scene looks typical. Outside, the glaring neon lights resemble signs found in towns everywhere. Inside, the worn half-red and half-blue shoes also provide a reminiscent stench. This place offers shelter from the rain, and it also marks their specific destination. More importantly, however, this place houses one of Canada's best kept entertainment secrets: five-pin bowling. Annually, more than 1 million Canadians try their hand at five-pin bowling, and more than 600,000 test their skills in leagues, said Terry Burns, avid five-pin bowler. Burns, who has been five-pin bowling for more than 20 years, also coaches Youth Bowling Council teens and competes regularly in five-pin tournaments throughout Canada. Burns describes himself as a "fanatical five-pin bowler," and says that five-pin is the most popular form of bowlingin Canada. "All other sports have become international in nature," Burns said. "Yet five-pin remains the only truly Canadian sport being played in every province and territory of Canada." Novice Americans may consider the radical differences between five-pin and 10-pin bowling something to be experienced first-hand.
