Box ball was a popular arcade game in the early 1900s that was a modified version of bowling where players used smaller balls to knock down a line of five pins in a horizontal row.[1]
In 1909, a Bowling & Pool building was built at the north end of the Midway[2] but six pool tables and two box ball alleys were put up for sale the same year, meaning the building might have only served that purpose for a year.[3]
