Here's an episode of a show that was sponsored by the Brunswick Corporation. It featured two legends within the sport. If Judy looks familiar, she later married pro bowler Dave Soutar!

Always got a kick out of Marion Ladewig patting the ball before she puts her fingers in it.

Today, this establishment is still going strong but is now known as Sunset Lanes...located in what was once a legendary speed trap on Route 66 in St. Louis. Go farther down Watson Road, you'll find Crestwood Bowl, where Ray Bluth was a pro.

After the ball hit the pins, the mixing action you expect to see, it just isn't there. Like the pins are made of lead, or another heavy substance. Tough to carry all the pins here.

Put Marion Ladewig on modern lanes with a superior ball and she'd toy with any bowler that ever lived. Perfect form and feel. Her style was like watching a golfer with a flawless pre shot routine. The best ever. Hands down.

@@donaldschmidt2990 You’re so right. Bowling has gotten too easy, just look at all the 900 series shot since they allowed resin balls and humped oil patterns. I’m a mid-average bowler and I love it when the 220 average hacks in my leagues struggle on a tough pattern. One night last year the two best bowlers in my Monday league both shot under 440, with several gutter balls apiece because someone accidentally put out a flat oil pattern. That night I shot 555 just by keeping the ball in play and making my spares. The lane machine where I bowl is old and not in good mechanical condition, so this happens from time to time and I love it when the bowlers without solid fundamentals can’t hit their mark at the arrows. Of course, there are lots of nights where they get what I call a “ceiling tile “ situation where all they have to do is put their ball on a 6-8 board spot at the arrows in order to strike. But I agree totally with you that on a flat oil pattern a guy like Dick Weber would absolutely murder these 20 mph, 550 rpm hacks that are dominating the sport now that the ball manufacturers are dictating the way the game is now played.

@lumberlikwidator8863 Great comment liquidator!! Ladewig had the greatest form and feel that ever existed in the bowling world. If you made her look bad, the conditions were impossible. Never rushed, never pushing for that one extra gear that would throw off her form. Ladewig, like Dick Weber, Don Carter and Ned Day among others, made the game look like ballet on hardwood. Marion was the queen. Everybody else was her court.

@@donaldschmidt2990 Thanks for the reply! What’s missing today are the fundamentals that enabled the greats of the past to perform well on any given condition. Today’s pros and a lot of amateurs have to have a puddle in the middle and five boards of miss room either way in order to score well. If you ever bowled with a 90-hardness rubber ball on a flat shot you knew you better hit what you’re looking at or you’re in trouble.

@lumberlikwidator8863 It turns out that the great Marion Ladewig hailed from my home state of Michigan in Grand Rapids. Just 30 miles or so from my hometown of Lansing. She did guest appearances on channel 8 fortheir bowling classic show with Warren Reynolds. At the time I had a "Who's She" moment, completely oblivious to the fact I was listening to arguably the greatest bowler that ever lived. Later on I discovered that the Bowling Writers of America voted her the greatest woman bowler of all time. Gee, I wonder why!! She was nine time bowler of the year. Eight time United States Open Champion. Five in succession!! It gets better. At her peak in 1951, she had a season average higher than any male professional bowler!! During one eight game tournament, she average 247.5 to defeat everyone. Including all the men. After she won, the men's champion Junie McMahon jokingly handed her his trophy. Amazingly, Ladewig never bowled a 300 game during her unparalleled career. As you alluded to earlier, her key was unyielding consistency. She was as steady as a sun dial and rhythmic as a metronome. She would never miss any spare that wasn't a split or a bucket shot. The great Sylvia Wene had three sanctioned 300 games, yet Ladewig beat her continuousy in championship matches. Watching a championship match she won on you tube, the announcer noted that her low game of the 32 she bowled in the championship round was a 178. Anyone who is a true afficionado of the game knows that is an astonishing feat. No Swiss Watch ever ran more smoothly. As an ardent bowler I'm sure you probably saw clips of the great Ned Day. I watched film of Day in 1947 doing an exhibition and he had the most beautiful style you ever saw. Most fans would pay money just to watch him dance on the Hardwood. A perfect example of a flawlessly executed craft. He and Ladewig did numerous clinics together. Both uniquely aware that it isn't important how many high games you bowl. Only how few low ones you register. A fact lost on all the "Doctor Crankensteins" that ply their trade today.
