Found this on You Tube and thought it was great:


A film short from 1939, "Set 'Em Up" features one of bowling's biggest early stars, Ned Day, along with bowling legend and trick shot artist Andy Varipapa. Note that this was back in the day when bowlers only inserted two fingers into the ball, and no one had yet invented "rangefinders" (the dots and arrows on the lane for alignment). Oh yeah, and the world was still seven years away from the first automatic pinspotter.

Andy Varipapa was known to doctor his balls to do whatever he wanted. He made a fortune with his trick shots.
