I think he used to come to Jersey, Garden State Bowl. He bowled a fellow lefty and friend Mike Ahern, big time action, $500/game - 1980's. I just dont remember the particulars though. Sorry. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Freddie Chin who had the shop and owned part of bedford Bowl in Brooklyn passed on in the late eighties from drugs. Big action shooter at Webster Bowl in the Bronx in the 70s.

His name was Alfred Chin. Some people called him Al. Most called him Fred or Freddie. He was one of the greatest scratch bowlers of his time. Too bad no one will know how good he could have been with the equipment of today. He was 44 when he died in the '80's and the actual cause of death was a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

I remember my dad Lefty Genova bowling Chin in Times Square Lanes on thursday nights in the early 70's, it was usually an all nighter after they would bowl 6-7 games with about 8-10 bowlers bowling each game across 12 lanes. Then they would bowl heads up or double matches, it was great

A game acoss 12 lanes was the boomerang. Never heard of Vito Genova. Anybody know how good he was and did he beat anybody good? I saw them all bowl-HORN, lemon, Schlegel, Engan, Mchugh, Iandoli and the list goes on and on.
