    If eddie's 2nd game was 243 and his series was 729, it was a stepladder series.

    Great footage! I liked how Carmen was sitting on the bench at the beginning, Mr. Casual! I wonder what Carmen was thinking when he saw that 7-10 split?

    Man Salvino had a pretty nice game. I think he'd be pretty competitive on today's conditions with today's gear.

    IIRC the semiautomatic machines by Brunswick were "B-2" or something like that. I actually had the pleasure in 1974 of being a pinboy several times in a place that still had these machines! The fronts of them do resemble the A/A2 machines though.

    Thanks.. brings back memories. I used to set up pins as a kid for 10 cents a game. Don't think I could have ever bowled in B&W (got a red ball. haha)

  • Yes indeed, this ...

    Yes indeed, this was REAL bowling. The pin balance was considerably different back then, too- in 1960 ABC changed it so they weren't nearly as bottom-heavy. Thank you for uploading this great clip!

  • Damn good clip man. ...

    Damn good clip man. It's awesomely refreshing to see the game before the advent of more reactive modern pins and a game dominated by power rather than finesse. I like the pinmonkeys guffaw at 0:55 too.

  • This was match #8 ...

    This was match #8 of the first season of Championship Bowling which was then using a king of the hill format, Salvino was returning winner having beaten Bill Lillard in week #7, Kawolics would go on to win next two weeks over Don Carter and Joe Kristof before losing to Steve Nagy, matches were filmed at the Faetz-Niesen Recreation center in Chicago and was the last time one was going to be seeing pinboys as automatic pinspotters had just been introduced by AMF, soon followed by Brunswick.

    Good Videos. This clip was taken for a bowling show hosted by Lou Scalia in the early 90's called the 10th Frame

  • Thank you so much ...

    Thank you so much for adding this as it brings back such wonderful memories of young days watching Championship Bowling on Saturday afternoons. Two Finger Eddie was a great bowler and showman, of course Carmen continues to this day, he came to Louisiana Tech in 1965 to give an exhibition, a highlight for me. Truly amazing to see an old film with pinboys in action. Please add as many of these as you can, have any of Bill Lillard?

    Excellent pictures. We want to see more of these early pro's that we have all read about but have never seen the way they bowl. Are these clips taken from old cine films? Thanks for uploading them.
