Summary: Wierd, Unexpected, and Old Bowling Stories
Comment: Copyright 1994, 94 pages. Cross "Ripley's Believe Or Not..." with a trip to the National Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum and you get this book. Lightly illustrated by Paul Coker. This book is the same size as "101 Uses For A Dead Cat", 5.5 inches tall and 8.25 inches long. Like Ripley's, some stories are gems but many are not. Most stories are several paragraphs long. Chapter 1 tales include hitting the 7-10 pins only on the 1st ball (1945); and 7,8,9,10 (1972) and 1,2,5,9 only on the 1st ball (1960). Other highlights are; don't slam your ball on the sidewalk because it can bounce back up and hit you in the chin,(1962) and if your principal reads the newspaper, you shouldn't win $1000 bowling a 300 during morning school hours (1993). The best story is "Mr. 900" which gives some detail to Glen Allison's July 1, 1982, 3 game 900 series which I knew little about apart from the fact he did it. I didn't know that when Pete Weber 1991 crystal trophy crashed to the floor, it was supposed to be glued to the wooden base which Pete still had in his hand. Bowling Hustlers, (M/F); doctored balls, (several soaker ball stories); and doctored lanes are covered. Near 300 games are covered. On your last ball, knocking down 9 pins and the top half of the 10th pin does not get you an ABC sanctioned 300 game, (1905). If you find Brunswick's (1915) missing Mineralite ball No. 391914, you've probably hit the jackpot...
