By age 15, Lou was boxing in barroom smokers for $5 a bout and working as a bowling alley pin boy.

He began his working career as a pin boy at a Bethesda bowling alley, and he would later claim to have once bowled a perfect 300 game.

Knipple, 68, said he began his life-long passion of bowling as a pin boy for Capital Lanes and other alleys in the area.

Strangely, the job readily available to me was at the town bowling alley, where I worked one night a week as a pin boy.

To perform the job of pin boy, you sat perched above a pit on a wooden bench, hidden behind a latticework of machinery.
