How Bowling's Rules Decided Who Gets to Walk Away

A room somewhere in the United States, sometime in the late nineteenth century. A handful of men sit down to write the rules of a sport that does not yet exist in any organized form, and inside that document is a clause nobody reads twice. It sets who can compete, who can govern, and who collects when money starts to move. Nobody in the room calls it a template. It is one anyway.
