I believe Jim and Fred Worst purchased the two-track maple arcade lane on Sheridan Avenue in 1905. It isn't clear when it was moved from from Beck and 2nd.
The first reference to match game competitions in Cody was at the (Fred & Jim) Worst Brothers Bowling Alley October 17, 1906. Previous businesses at this location include the Cody Sporting Goods store in 1950s. |
