jay helfert said:That is Joe Diehl. I'd like to see these shows. I saw all these guys play in person in the 60's.
Jay: I'm from the same town as Joe Diehl, but I didn't really play pool back then. But my brother and father who both played pretty well knew him and said he was the man when it came to pool. Charlie Cacciapaglia came along later in Rockford and then there was a youngster taught by Diehl by the name of Dallas West.
Frank "Sailor" Stellman of Racine Wisconsin also learned from Joe Diehl on the recommendation of Willie Mosconi, from what he told me.

I'm sure you know the announcer was the same as on the Crane/Balsis match, Whispering Joe Wilson.
