The Bowling Chronicles - Collected Writings of Dr. Jake (Paperback)

Everybody bowls-yet few people know about bowling's rich history. For over 25 years J.R. Schmidt has been telling that story in Bowlers Journal International. Now comes a collection of 90 of his articles. Here are pen-portraits of Dick Weber, Don Carter, Marion Ladewig, and other tenpin immortals. Here are the great matches and the great tournaments. And here, also, are the little-known and forgotten stories. The bowling ball that went around the world...the 300 game that took a week to complete...the symphony concert that featured a bowler rolling against pins on stage...the traveling hustler who passed himself off as a German nobleman...the baseball Hall of Famer who won a national bowling championship...and much more. Written with a storyteller's verve and a historian's attention to detail, this is a unique look at America's Game.
