Here is one of bowling's pioneers taking on an up and comer! Joe Joseph vs Harry Smith! From Toledo!

[@christopherangel6690]

I had the privilege of knowing both of these fine bowlers. Both coached me when I was bowling!

Irishpogi, I wish you had an endless supply of these because I can't wait to see the next one(s)!

I learned how to add by watching these games in the 50's.You wonder why bowlers try to pick up splits early in a three game match?

FIRST 5 FRAMES SHOOT THE MARK LAST 5 FRAMES SHOOT THE WOOD

12:06 Ooh Harry slapped it out in Joe's eye!

Can you find the 1963 T of C ? Joe Joseph won…..I’d love to see that one again.

[@AS-ds5zm]

Awesome

[@ruhroh7857]

Joe Joseph just picks the ball & takes off, doesn't hold still for even a second to concentrate - only man in the whole house with a moustache in 1959

@@ruhroh7857 seems as if he is charging to the lane to throw the ball.....must say I haven't quite seen that before

[@ruhroh7857]

@@mathewhorodner2000 Yup. But I guess he was a success as a pro-bowler. Seems he might've done better if he'd taken a few seconds to concentrate.

It's nice to see bowlers not performing rituals between shots

[@steveelbert6996]
