When I was a pinboy at age 14 (1950) at Werner's Bowling Alley in Baldwin New York (later became Johnny Petraglia Lanes), I witnessed a match between Warren Mathias and Dick Hoover. The house (12 lanes) was packed. The atmosphere was charged with excitement.
Dick beat Warren in a 3 game set. I was really impressed with Dick's style. What a fireballer!
