You really have a great site it bring back great memories, I feel like going in that DeLoreon and going right back to the 50's & 60's. I came from Falcaros and used to hang with Freddie the Ox, Ray Shell,Sis,etc. and we really had a great time traveling to Bklyn to bowl all the great action guys.
There are some names I recall that I haven't as yet found on your site,names such as Billy Picone,Vinny Pantuso, Billy Gambino,Joe Lyons,Jack Clementi, I saw the match where Fred the Ox bowled Lou Spadero I was there for that one,the one that never got off the ground.
I recall going to the Brooklyn Paramount on Sat. nite an watching the Cleftones, etc.Murray the K and then going to Kings Lanes,Seaview and Sid Gordons .
Those days were apart of my life that I wouldn't give up for all the tea in China.E-mail me back so I can discuss these things from another old timer........Thanks Neal

Who was the best con job as a hustler
Who was always on the hustle - looking to con anyone he could - there must of been a few of them out there...Charlie Whack Whack If you mean dumpers, there were a number around who were good bowlers and could get matches with bowlers 10-20 pins worst than them. Names that ring a bell were Iggy Russo, Alan Dwoskin known as Buffalo and Marty something known as Stoop. Another one that comes to mind was someone named RC who wore gold shoes and flew in from Florida every weekend to bowl at Central. RC had alot of moolah and could bet $1,000 every time he wanted. For many weeks he would bowl someone and always lose the first two games to get all the money on the other side. He would usually bet $250-$300 the first two games and lose. third game $1,000 which he always won. One night guns were put to him in the parking lot. RC never returned.
