At Parkway Lanes

Bowling fans in Western New York

wont have to drive too far to witness

the induction of professional bowling

greats Mark Roth and Tom Baker,

along with amateur standout Mike

Faliero and bowling industry leader

Jack Moran, into the Empire State

USBC Bowling Association Hall of

Fame.

The induction ceremony is sched-

uled for 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 10

at Antonios Banquet & Conference

Center, 7708 Niagara Falls

Boulevard, Niagara Falls, N.Y.,

(inside the Quality Inn). The dinner

is being held in conjunction with the

ESUSBCBAs annual delegates

meeting, which will take place earlier

in the day.

Tickets are $30 each for the dinner($270 for a table of 10) and can be

obtained by calling 315-623-7100 or

sending an email to

[email protected]. Seating is

limited so those interested in attend-

ing should reserve their tickets as

soon as possible.

Roth, a Fulton resident, and Baker,

a Buffalo native now residing in

King, N.C., are two of the biggest

names in the history of the

Professional Bowlers Association.

Originally from Brooklyn, Roth

burst onto the PBA scene with a

cranking, hard-throwing style, which

set the stage for many of todays

players. He won PBA Player of theYear honors four times 1977, 1978,

1979 and 1984, and led the Tour in

average in six different seasons,

including a then-record 221.699 in

1979.

Roth won a record eight titles in

1978 and seven more the next year.

He finished his career with 34 Tour

titles and $1.6 million in earnings.

He was inducted into the PBA Hall

of Fame in 1987, the USBC Hall of

Fame in 2009 and was voted No. 5

on the list of the PBAs 50 Greatest

Players of the Last 50 Years.

Tragically, Roth, 58, suffered a

stroke last June which has left him

partially paralyzed on his left side.

Baker, 55, is still going strong on

the PBA Senior Tour following a

stellar 32-year career on the regular

tour a career that is marked by 10

titles, including the 2004 PBA World

Championship. His best year came

in 1981 when he captured three titles

and broke the $100,000 mark in sin-

gle-season earnings.

Bakes has dominated the PBA

Senior Tour since joining in 2005,

winning four Senior major titles and

four Senior standard tournaments,while continuing to compete on the

regular tour. He was named Senior

Rookie of the Year and Senior Player

of the Year in 2005, becoming the

only senior player to earn both hon-

ors in a single season.

He won Senior Player of the Year

honors again in 2006 and 2007, an

unprecedented streak in the history of

the PBA Senior Tour.

Baker has earned $1.7 million as a

professional bowler. Elected to the

PBA Hall of Fame in 1999, Baker

was voted No. 42 on the PBA top 50

list.

Faliero, a West Seneca resident, has

an impressive resume of achieve-ments at the collegiate and amateur

tournament levels, including the

championship of the International

Eliminator in 2000 (where he won

$100,000) and the Greater Buffalo

USBC Masters tourney in 2007.

The former Erie Community

College All-American also has sever-

al New York State titles to his credit,

including doubles (1984, 2004), team

(2004) and Masters (1991). He has

more than 25 perfect games and a

dozen 800 series, and has won gold,

silver and bronze medals in interna-

tional competitions.

He was elected to the National

Junior College Sports Hall of Fame

in 2001 and the Greater Buffalo

USBC Hall of Fame in 2008.

Currently, he is manager of Strikers

Lanes in West Seneca.

Moran, well known as proprietor

of Roseland Bowl in Canandaigua,

has helped shape the course of organ-

ized bowling over the past 25 years,

most notably as a high-ranking offi-

cer with the New York State and

national Bowling Proprietors

Association of America.

He was president of the NYS BPAfrom 1994-96, and president of

BPAA national from 2002-04. He

also has served as president of the

New York State Bowling Council,

Finger Lakes BPA and Greater

Rochester BPA. He has served on

numerous BPAA committees at the

national and state levels.

A certified bowling coach, he has

instructed students at Finger Lakes

Community College and

Canandaigua Academy for many

years.

His many honors include the NYS-

BPA Service Award, BPAA

Certificate of Achievement,

Canandaigua Rotarian of the Year,and NYS WBA and Rochester bowl-

ing Proprietor of the Year. He also

was the recipient of the BPAA

Presidents Medal.

Roth, Baker, Faliero and Moran

will join the other 119 individuals

who will be grandfathered in from

the former New York State Bowling

Association Hall of Fame to the

ESUSBCBA Hall of Fame.

RENO, Nev. -

Walter Ray

Williams Jr. ofOcala, Fla., won

his second

United States

B o w l i n g

C o n g r e s s

Masters title last

week, defeating

top seed Chris

Barnes of

Double Oak,

Texas, 290-217,

at the National

B o w l i n g

Stadium.

The victory was Williams' 47th

on the Lumber Liquidators

Professional Bowlers AssociationTour, extending his record for the

most in PBA Tour history, while

also moving him up to a tie for

second with eight career major

titles.

"This is just another little feath-

er, it's just awesome," said

Williams, who defeated Barnes,

268-239, to win the January 2004

USBC Masters also at the

National Bowling Stadium. "It's

hard to explain

it better than

that. To winany tourna-

ment is awe-

some, and the

bigger ones

are even bet-

ter."

Williams is

now tied with

Pete Weber

and Mike

Aulby with

eight career

major titles,

but all three

players trail USBC and PBA Hall

of Famer Earl Anthony, who won

10 majors and 43 total titles."I really don't envision that I can

get to 10, but I'm not giving up

yet," said Williams, who turned 50

in 2009. "I'm going to go out there

and plug along as good as I can,

and the year that I'm no longer

exempt out here, that's when I will

have had enough."

2 SPORTS REPORTER February 24 - March 2, 2010

J o a n T a y l o r sT e n P i n R a p . . . .

The American Bowling

Congress Hall of Fame was

founded in 1941, becoming the

third oldest sports shrine, fol-

lowing baseball in 1936 and golf

in 1940.

Halls of Fame in all sports cre-

ate plenty of interest and con-

troversy based on who gets in

and who doesn't, and almost

every sport boasts a hall.

It's a good bet that bowling

has more Halls of Fame than

any other sport. No exact count

exists but there probably are

800 or more bowling Halls at

different levels around the

world. Don't be too amazed by

so many. At its peak bowling

had 3,009 men and 2,910

womens local bowling associa-

tions. Once the ABC Hall was

established many of these

groups liked the concept and

started local, state and regional

Halls.

Hall of Fame committees

number from three people to

dozens and induction cere-

monies range from lavish din-

ners to brief presentations dur-

ing meetings or prior to tourna-

ments.

Those honored are remem-

bered proudly with plaques or

displays in bowling centers or at

local association offices such as

the large photos for all to see at

Bergen County Bowling

Association headquarters in

River Edge.

After years of planning,

searching for the proper siteand fund raising, the

International Bowling Museum

and Hall of Fame was opened in

1984 in St. Louis. There, ABC

Hall of Famers were represent-

ed by bronze busts, Women's

International Bowling Congress

members featured in painted

portraits and Professional

Bowlers Association Hall mem-

bers depicted in drawings by

some of the nation's leading

artists, including the Record's

Charlie McGill.

The Hall and Museum, now a

part of the International

Bowling Campus in Arlington,Texas, recently opened to the

public. Visit if you ever have the

opportunity.

Some sports Halls add more

than a dozen new members each

year while others go years with-

out adding any. The same is true

in bowling because there are no

set rules and they vary greatly

in how they choose new mem-

bers.

There was one association

years ago that staged an annual

picnic. To boost ticket sales they

gave each ticket buyer a vote in

the annual Hall of fame election.

That kind of gimmick is long

gone and most Halls have solid

procedures. The USBC has one

of the best.

The USBC Hall of Fame

Board has 18 members, six Hall

of Famers, six members of the

media, the Bowling writers

Association of America, and six

USBC officials

Terms are staggered, guaran-

teeing new members and some

new thinking each year.

The board elects the new Hall

of Famers in the meritorious

and veteran categories. It also

comes up with the candidates

for the performance classifica-

tion. Those candidates are then

voted on by a panel of more

than 100 experts from every

area of bowling.

The system works well and

many local groups have copied

this type of committee.

Bowling competitors start

very young and retire real old.

Therefore there are many young

bowlers in the PBA Hall of

Fame. Many in their 30s have 20

years of competition, and few

ever really retire.Threats to win on the pro tour

any week include dozens of

young and old members of

various national halls.

Now is the time to

The PBA Eastern Regional

Tournament is returning to

Rockaway Lanes on April 24 and

25. The center is hosting three

win-a-spots on Sundays in March:

7th, 21st and 28th. Check-in will

be at 6 p.m. for each session and

tournament bowling will start at

6:30 p.m. Five games will be

bowled across 10 lanes in this

scratch tournament. This is open

to any sanctioned USBC bowler.

The lanes will have a PBA shot set

up. There will be one winner from

each squad plus a wild card. Cost

is $80 per entry. For more infor-

mation contact Rockaway Lanes

at 973-627-5800.

No sooner did the father-son

Albensis score perfect games than

Val Johannessen and her husband,

Gregg rolled 800 series each, and

nearly rolled perfect games as

well. Val, a fierce competitor

stressed that her 824 was higher

than Greggs 814.

Gregg started with a 248 to Vals

266. Then he rolled 299. One of

the league members who had

rolled 298 in the league previously

chided, Oh you had to beat me.

Somebody needs to shoot a 300

now to beat me. Val was up for

the challenge, especially when

team mate Ryan Prevost said he

would do it (300 game). She pro-

ceeded to roll her fifth career 300

and second 800. But Gregg is no

slouch either. He has had nine

300s and six 800s. Two weeks

prior he rolled 805 in another

league and 300 the next week.

Vals claim to fame is that her

300s were in five different centers.

This time she used a Hammer Hot

Sauce and Gregg used a HammerBite, both drilled by Pro Image

Pro Shops Ken Yokobosky.

Val and Prevost won the Bergen

County Doubles Scratch division

earlier this year while Gregg and

Ken Vanderhoof placed second.

Keith Meyers, Paterson, saw his

first 300, in the Wednesday Night

Mixed League. He rolled 226-

300-221 for a 747 on a 211 aver-

age. This 28-year-old right-hander

wasnt nervous, as he had been

there before, rolling a 299. He

chose to get the USBC ring. His

next goal is an 800 series, as his

high to date is 767.

MASTERSContinued from page 1

In the title match against Barnes,

Williams got off to a shaky start,

going high on his first shot, break-

ing up a split and leaving a 7 pin.

From there, he was perfect, finish-

ing with 11 consecutive strikes to

take home the $50,000 prize and

two-year PBA Tour exemption.

Williams said the turning point

in the match was when Barnes left

a 10 pin in the fourth frame, but he

managed to carry a similar shot inthe fifth frame.

"Chris left that weak 10 pin after

a scout came over and touched it

but didn't knock it over, and then I

step up and leave a 10 pin but the

scout comes over and gets it,"

Williams said. "That helped me

get a little more comfortable, and

from that point, every one of my

strikes was high flush."

Looking back on the loss,

Barnes said he thought he threw

the ball well, but it was the way

the lanes broke down in practice

that had a major impact.

"I lost this one in the practice

session," said Barnes, who fin-ished second in the season's sec-

ond major, losing to Kelly Kulick,

265-195, in the PBA Tournament

of Champions. "He played further

right than I anticipated. When I

broke them down, it made the

lanes pretty good for me, but it had

no affect on him."

When Williams and Barnes met

for the Masters title in 2004, the

scenario set up the same way.

Barnes was the top seed, while

Williams was No. 2.

"The last two Masters here in

Reno, I've gone undefeated in

match play, I haven't lost a three-

game match, yet I haven't won

either tournament," said Barnes,

who made it through the double-

elimination bracket unscathed in

both events. "TV is one of the best

things the sport has going for it,

but it is probably the worst thing I

have going for me personally."

To reach the championship

match, Williams defeated No. 3

seed Ryan Ciminelli of Buffalo,

N.Y., 258-224. Ciminelli

advanced with a 246-229 victory

over fourth seed Mike Scroggins

of Amarillo, Texas, in the opening

match.

The 2010 USBC Masters fea-tured a field of 267 of the top pro-

fessional and amateur bowlers in

the world, competing for an over-

all prize fund of $255,000.

RENO, Nev. - The United States Bowling Congress Open

Championships has evolved and grown since its inception in 1901, and

bowlers will notice a few changes when they arrive at the National

Bowling Stadium for the 2010 event, which kicks off Saturday after-

noon.

Competitors still will enjoy the many traditions that make the

tournament so memorable, but they also will be among the first to

enjoy the beginning of some new ones.

The changes include new Scale Room procedures, the allowance of

beverages while competing, special check-in accommodations for team

captains with four or more teams, opportunities for team captains

registered for both 2010 and 2011 and a fully-automated registration

process.

Bowlers have traditionally had all of their bowling balls weighed andchecked prior to both team and doubles and singles, but the procedure

has been adapted. All balls still must be checked prior to bowling

team, but only balls not present during team must be checked before

doubles and singles competition. All bowlers are still required to report

to the squad room with their equipment, however.

Once on the lanes, bowlers will be allowed to consume beverages

while competing. In the past, water was provided and all other drinks

were prohibited, but an increasing demand has prompted the change on

a trial basis.

Behind the scenes, team captains with four or more teams will be able

to enjoy a stress-free check-in experience in the tournament's new VIP

check-in area, which is set away from the general check-in counter.

In addition, captains are encouraged to register for 2011 so they

can begin reaping the benefits of the Eagle's Nest, a special club for

dedicated captains.

Eagle's Nest members will receive a monthly 'E-Nest' Newsletter - a

monthly e-newsletter featuring tournament tips, latest bowling trendsand special offers from Reno sponsors, USBC Travel and the Reno

Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority.

All Eagle's Nest members also will be eligible to win one of five cars

or trucks that will be awarded at the 2011 Open Championships, airfare

and lodging for the 2011 event or one of the high-performance Storm

bowling balls awarded each day during the 2011 tournament.

Captains with four or more teams also will be eligible for free

upgrades on lodging in 2011.

Any current or potential team captains interested in registering for

2011 now can do so using USBC's fully-automated registration system

on USBCopen.com. This option was introduced earlier this month, and

the step-by-step process has proven to be simple and quick.

Other significant changes in Open Championships history:

-1951 (St. Paul, Minn.): The first crowning of Joe Bowler, who is

randomly selected to throw out the first ball of the tournament each

year.-1954 (Seattle): The debut of the tournament's Center Aisle.

-1957 (Fort Worth, Texas): The introduction of the automatic pinsetter

to the Open Championships.

-1979 (Tampa, Fla.): The introduction of automatic scoring and the

original "flip dot" scoreboards.

-1998 (Reno): Brackets are offered at the Open Championships for

the first time.

-2009 (Las Vegas): The unveiling of the world's largest mobile

scoreboard, which utilizes the latest 10mm technology and enhanced

graphics with 4.4 trillion colors and streaming video capabilities.

Presenting sponsors for the 2010 USBC Open Championships are

Circus Circus, Eldorado and Silver Legacy Hotel/Casinos in Reno,

Nev. Other sponsors include: Sands Regency Casino Hotel, official

brackets sponsor; Kegel, official lane maintenance provider; US

Steltronic, official scoring system, and supporting sponsors Storm

Fans Decide Who Will Bowl the ProsARLINGTON, Texas Most people who play sports can only dream of having a

chance to compete against the pros on national television with thousands of dollars at

stake.

For 18 bowlers, their chance to compete against some of the best professionals on

the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour, including star Norm Duke, is closer to becoming

a reality through the PBA Experience Showdown.

The PBA Experience Showdown is a unique competition for United States Bowling

Congress Sport Bowling members. Sport bowlers compete in leagues which use

many of the same lane conditions that are used on the PBA Tour. For the last six

months, the top bowler (highest scratch series) each week in those leagues was eligi-

ble to be entered in the PBA Experience Showdown.

More than 1,300 entries were sent to USBC from Sport Bowling leagues. From

those qualifiers, 18 competitors were randomly selected as finalists. The entries were

divided into six groups based on what lane conditions they bowled on when they

qualified, and three finalists were randomly selected from each category. Now through March 1, bowling fans can visit BOWL.com and vote for their

favorite bowler from each of the six lane patterns Chameleon, Cheetah, Scorpion,

Shark, Viper and Other Sport Patterns and the top vote-getter from each pattern will

advance to the PBA Experience Showdown finals. Fans can vote one time (for each

oil pattern) per day.

The finals of the PBA Experience Showdown will be held April 6-7 at the

International Training and Research Center in Arlington, Texas. The finals will be

taped for television and are scheduled to air April 11 on ESPN.

The six finalists will compete in a six-game qualifier, with each game being con-

tested on a different PBA lane pattern. The finalist with the high score earns a spot to

compete on TV against the five winners of the 2009-10 PBA Tour Versatility Swing

events Duke, Rhino Page, Bill ONeill, Mike DeVaney and Jack Jurek.

You can find the final 18 qualifiers and the patterns on which they qualified and

more information on each bowler at BOWL.com.

Youth Travel League Keglers

Ablaze at Montvale LanesBy Vince Albrecht

Montvale, NJ - The first eleven weeks action in the Stan Niemiec Youth

Travel League resulted in just two 700 sets and one 270 game.

Well, you can forget about that now as the youthful keglers lit up at

Montvale Lanes, abusing the helpless maples with three 700s, five

600s and twenty-two deuces.

When the dust settled, Holiday Bowl Is Rob Andresen came awaywith the season high game/set of 280-728 while Montvale IIs Brian

OFlaherty 279-714 and Bryan Kist 275-707 blistered the pins in their

customary friendly duel with the former edging high average leader

Kist in all three games this go-around. With the B&B pin-busters in

high gear and Megan McNally adding 203-578, one might have expect-

ed the Montvale II squad to have easily won three from rival entry

Montvale I, but Brian Galbraith squelched that by closing his 641 set

with five strikes for 234, snaring the finale by a scant ten pins. Even so,

the match victors now boast high four-player scratch game of 877 and

handicap single of 1049.

Bowler Citys Will Blanco, who earlier in the season had fared poorly

here, put that behind him with three solid deuces, finishing with 241-

666. Alas, his team dropped two of three to Fair Lawn I which grabbed

the league lead behind young Isiah Tolberts 239-601 and above average

performances from supporting cast Marla Auslander, Deandre and

Keenah Lightly. Holiday Bowl II received stellar outings from Rich

Gutches 224-634, Ryan Landau 237-630, Kyle Landau 212 along withabove average games of 163,171 from Jeremy Scott in sweeping past

Fair Lawn II. Best for the latter were Chris Marco-Hunt 237,191 and

Jaylin Floyd 204,194.

01/15/10 NORTH ARLINGTON, NJ - In Fridays North Arlington

Adult/Junior Doubles, Chris McBride rolled 443, his best threesome of

the year, to earn recognition as this weeks top Bantam Bowler. With his

closing 164 and his mom Donna adding a 200, Chris Juicy duo ground-

ed the Cardinals, 5-2. Will Blanco scored a pair of 216 games for the

shocked Redbirds.

S.A.S. came away with a hard-earned 4-3 win over Team Awesome as

Nick Gavron scored 195-563. Streaking Caf Tra-Ell won seven points

behind nine-year-old Nicole Fonsecas three games over average while

the Mighty Chipmunks scratched their way to two of three successesagainst the A Team.

Bantams surpassing their averages were Chris McBride +41, Nicole

Fonseca +22, Sam Passaro +14 and Margaret Ziobro +10. The latters

partner Tim Bray, who earlier this year had 277, bested that with 280

this go-around. Other adult deuces came from Kevin Gavron 229,214,
