In the recent bowling newspaper for long island, there is a big writeup on Mike Kilgannon. There are lies in this article as told to a reporter by Kilgannon. He stated that the former great action bowler Jeff Kidder walked into Falcaro's in 1966 at the age of 16 and whacked Sis Mantovani. This is lie number one. Jeff was either ten or 12 at the time and therefore, this never happened. Jeff started coming to the action in 1969 at Raceway Lanes when he was 13 or15 years old. Charlie Tuna his buddy brought him around.
Killer also stated that he bowled kidder a number of times and came out on top overall. Lie number two. He never bowled Jeff. Ask anybody who was around in the 70s. Ask Daly. Killer would have needed ten pins to bowl Kidder and still would have got mopped.
Killer stated in this article that thousands were bet on him yet he never bet more than a $100. This was the truth.

Hey senior bowler, you are the liar. Killer did beat jeff kidder, i asked daly. if he got the years wrong, so what. he is 62 years old. you are probably mad that you cant beat him thats all. do you wanna bowl killer, ill set it up big mouth. by the way, daly backed kidder, so kidder didnt bet either.

Keep your mouth shut punk. Kidder bet alot himself. And I have bowled Kilgannon. Why am I defending myself to a punk 16 year old? And I know you never spoke to Daly. Because you are also a stoned liar.

The junior bowled is right! I spoke to daly and he confirmed it . I also spoke to Killer and if you still have few bucks left we can arrange the senior citizen match. Pick the place, pick the date and pick the time. Bring Money!

I dont know if "killer" is a liar. However, I bowled in the Paramus Eastern Classic (1978-1980) against Killgannons team, on this peticular nite Killgannon was locked, 807. I am not in his caliber, but it I learned so much that nite.

I never really got to see Kilgannon bowl any action, I was around the Brooklyn scene in the 60s, I've always heard though that he was a real tough action shooter, how good was he and who did he bowl his big matches against.

[Louis Capasso]

Mike Kilgannon is a stand up guy and a hell of a bowler in his day. give him a dryer track shot he was tough.
very good spare shooter and very accurate. hey as we get older we all exagerate a little. Kidder was great but not invincable. trust me I beat him the one time i bowled him same with cliff b and behrbaum. another great bowler was a guy i grew up bowling against in jr leagues Roy Garcea, he beat kidder up at bowlmor a few times. so please your memories arent too good if you think kidder was undefeated he was great but NOT invincable.

Lou I caught you a few times in the late seventies or early eighties at Maple, you were really a monster, I never saw anyone that was willing to bowl you any serious action there.

I wish I had caught some of your big matches in and around the Tri State area.

What did you think of Kenny Barber and did you ever bowl him.

Who was your toughest oponent at Maple for real money.

What house did you have your biggest action matches at and against who?

The best to, your a class act and have matured greatly.

I knew Kenny he was a funny guy but never bowled him he was a little before me. But I heard great stories from Joe s and horn about him. My toughest match at maple was always snake . we did not bowl alot of head to head there but we did bowl at park circle where i actually beat him after losing in doubles there to him and Tee.That was the toughest house, there was never oil on the lanes NEVER!!! Snake and I bowled in staten island a few times. but we did most of our damage out there bowling doubles as teammates. My toughest match was against Bob Perry at columbiapark I had been bowling for about a year again and I bowled some guy <the lane man, at columbia park and went 10 pin out the door. Teata semiz told the guy backing him (duke) who I was and they quit but now Perry came down to bowl me and everyone stopped to watch this match. I really didn't want to bowl him but did and we went back and forth for about a dzen games and I ended up 2 or 3 up. but every game came down to the tenth. My favorite action house was LaGuardia . a great 4th and 5th arrow shot.I loved the gutter and 5th arrow. Some of the best bowlers came from the bklyn area.Spallone,snake,horn,joe s, joe m, steve chivas,
and thanks for the maturing comment I was a bit of loadmouth as a kid but I was lucky I could back it up.at least most of the time. talk to you soon
