Jon Trzcinski 802 at Nationals
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
SHAWNEE, Okla. Bill ONeill of
Langhorne, Pa., derailed Brian
Valentas hopes for a first title,
throwing two strikes in the 10th
frame to edge Valenta, 243-235, in
the Professional Bowlers
Association Tour Badger Open
championship match at the Grand
Casino Resort Event Center.
The finals of the third of five
Oklahomas Grand Casino Resort
PBA Summer Swing events, contest-
ed on a 52-foot Badger lane condi-
tion the longest oiling pattern in
PBAs library of lane conditions
aired on CBS Sports Network.
Along with his fifth career PBA Tour title and
first since the 2012 Cheetah Championship ONeill
earned $10,000 and a berth in Oklahomas Grand
Casino Resort King of the Swing, a special event that
will conclude the Summer Swing.
While Valenta, a two-handed,
high-revolution player, played a
severe inside line, lofting the ball 10
feet or more down the lane, ONeill
moved to the right side of the lane
and played a much straighter shot to
the pocket.
It was one of those days when
everything worked out, and when I
got up in the 10th, I really wasnt
nervous. I knew what I had to do.
Whatever (Valenta) did, it didnt
matter. I knew I was going to get up
there and double, and thats what I
did.
Valenta was obviously disappoint-
ed about falling short of his first title, but the 29-year-
old seventh-year pro was pleased about winning three
matches in his first PBA Tour television appearance.
I had a great time, Valenta said. I got a little
intense, but I didnt go crazy.

in the 10th frame to defeat Brian

They said it well---with com-

"The way I see it, if you want
the rainbow, you gotta put up
with the rain.---DOLLY PAR-
TON ( Splits and misses are as
much a part of the game as strikes
and spares)
Anyone who doesn't believe in
miracles is not a realist.---
DAVID BEN GURION ( And
that's why every bowler of every
average thinks about rolling a 300
game, and aims at the 7-10 split)
Instead of loving your enemies,
treat your friends a little better." -
--EDGAR WATSON HOWE
(Like your teammates, league and
association officials and bowling
proprietors)
"In all things, success depends
upon previous preparations, and
without such preparation there is
sure to be failure."---CONFU-
CIOUS (Practice, practice, prac-
tice)
"I base most of my fashion taste
on what doesn't itch.---GILDA
RADNER ( Perfect advice when
selecting bowling uniforms)
"If I were given the opportunity
to present a gift to the next gener-
ation it would be the ability for
each individual to learn to laugh
at himself."---CHARLES
SCHULTZ (And let's face it,
bowling is a funny game, even if it
wasn't meant to be)
During the middle ages, people
who couldn't write would sign a
contract with an X and kiss it to
show sincerity. That's how X's at

great bowlers of the past would
have loved the long shot opportu-

money up for grabs today)
Genealogy is tracing yourself
back to people better than you

bowling all you have to do is look
at the names above you on the
standings sheet and you know
who is better than you are)

that just being is fun."--

Kelley Grippo 694 in Youth Travelers
By Vince Albrecht
HACKENSACK, NJ - The media named Holy Angels senior
Kelley Grippo to the All-North First Team and she demonstrated
why in the youth travelers season finale, pounding out a session-
best 694 in leading Bowler City II to a convincing sweep of Bowler
City III, 3048-2829.
Kelley was spot-on as she followed strong games of 224-211 with
259, the days top single. As leadoff kegler, she set the pace for her
teammates who responded in impressive fashion. Dean Edwards hit
224-615, George Held 225-203-602 and Joe Biondi 197. BC III
flashed bright numbers as well, led by anchor Nick Reyes 222-214-
216: 652, Greg Khan 256 and Dana-Marie Laloo 197-194.
League champion Holiday finished the year on a high note, blast-
ing an 896 net in taking five of seven points from Boonton. Frank
Magyar, who had already posted games of 207-203, ended his ses-
sion with 255 for 665, second high threesome for the day. Lilly
Sigona tallied 225, Ryan McGuire 209 and anchor Nick Cilento
closed with 207. Nick, who earlier had struck for 243, shot a 621 set,
one of twelve which lit up the telescores. Boonton, which ended in
third place, used five players interchangeably, resulting in just two
games bowled by the Kattermann brothers, with Erik edging the Star-
Ledgers All-North Bowler of the Year Karl, 193-257-450 to 221-
222-443. Matt ODea had the squads other deuce offerings, 236-
202.
Last years champion Bowler City I settled for the runner-up slot
by coming from behind to take three points from Montvale, which
had shot from the gate with two quick wins, rolling power games of
995-1011. BC I used its strongest lineup and the players didnt dis-
appoint, producing four 600+ sets. Kyle Schellberg rolled 223-
247-654, Welmer Paguay 246-203-644, James Kane 205-245-644
and Anthony Rizzo 202-212-613. Montvale benefited from an out-
standing threesome from Katie Didonato 234-204-621 while Jessica
and Chris Torres added 205 and 204 respectively.
Lodi rolled to a sweep of Fair Lawn, 2983-2738 behind Chris
Navarro 219-224-632 and Avery Brown 212-197. Madison Perry
bowled 211 and Steve Plaszkys 192 led the Fair Lawn quartet.
Paul Tortorici 300

his 300 in the Bud Light Tuesday
4-man in January but it never
got submitted to the Sports

6 SPORTS REPORTER June 25 - July 1, 2014
In the late 1800s, there were many
attempts to bring the sport of bowling some
form of uniformity no matter where it was
played. On September 9, 1895, that was
accomplished, when at Beethoven Hall in
New York City, the American Bowling
Congress was formed for just that purpose.
Even with the newly formed organization,
there were still some differences in the ball
weight, ball size, and other aspects of the
game.
At first bowling balls were made of
Lignum vitae, a very hard wood. Lignum
vitae is Latin for tree of life.
1
It wasnt
until 1905 that the first rubber bowling ball
was produced and that was followed 9 years
later by the popular Mineralite Ball manu-
factured by Brunswick.
For more than 50 years, the rubber bowl-
ing ball was the only choice anyone had to
participate in the sport. That was until the
advent of the polyester bowling balls hit the
market. The first major innovation in the
manufacturing of bowling balls occurred in
1960 when Columbia Industries Inc. suc-
cessfully utilized polyester resin for manu-
facturing the Columbia 300.
2
Polyester
bowling balls had a hard time creating any
hook down the lane because of its hardness
and had little friction to the lane. While it
was the popular ball of the day, many peo-
ple began to try and figure out a way to
make the bowling ball hook in the back part
of the lane. Soaking the balls in a substance
such as MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) became
popular because it accomplished what play-
ers wanted and secondly, there was no rule
against it. It did not take long before the
American Bowling Congress rectified this
with a rule change making any bowling ball
that tested with a durometer softness under
72 illegal.
After the polyester bowling balls came
urethane bowling balls. In 1981, Ebonite
began manufacturing the very first urethane
cover stock bowling balls and sold the
rights to AMF.
3
Urethane bowling balls ush-
ered in the ball motion changes from the old
"skid-roll-hook" motion we saw with plastic
and rubber bowling balls to the modern
"skid-hook-roll" motion we see with today's
bowling balls.
4
The bowling manufacturing companies
continued to create what they feel is the per-
fect ball to create as many strikes as possi-
ble. There has been reactive resin, hybrid
combination, particle additives and bowling
ball evolution continues to evolve with dif-
ferent combinations.
Writing in Popular Mechanics magazine,
John G. Falcioni noted that some bowlers
unhappily refer to the new-generation balls
as cheaters. He summed up the impact of
ball refinements by writing, "The sport has
become so sophisticated that knowledge of
engineering and physics is likely to prove
more helpful in throwing strikes than doing
curls with a dumbbell."
Along with the change in the material of
the bowling balls outside, technology has
created numerous different so-called
engines inside a bowling ball. There are
many different weight blocks to create an
in-balance in the bowling ball to make it
hook through the lane conditioner.
Lane conditioner too has gone through a
revolution where the oil has gotten thinner,
thicker, made of different substances and
has to be placed on the lane in heaver
amounts to what our forefathers had ever
seen. It was learned that if the oil is placed
on a lane surface in a certain pattern, it can
help steer the bowling ball to the pocket.
Many rule changes have tried to limit steer-
ing of bowling balls. The combination of
the bowling ball technology, lane surface
technology and lane oil practices have done
nothing to limit the massive increase of per-
fect games and high series that have explod-
ed in the game since the 1980s.
What once was a highly regarded accom-
plishment, has become so common place
that no one, except the bowler achieving it
really feels an accomplishment was
achieved.
The United States Bowling Congress has
come up with what they feel will help lower
the amount of honor scores Sport
Bowling, but in reality, it puts too much
emphasis on the proprietor to maintain, that
it hasnt really been well received as a stan-
dard practice.
Sport Bowling is an optional membership
level of USBC that offers bowlers of all
abilities the chance to experience a new
challenge, satisfy their competitive nature
and improve their bowling skills. Sport
Bowling members are eligible to compete in
Sport Bowing events, which consist of
leagues and tournaments conducted on
more challenging lane oil patterns than
those found in standard USBC competition.
Sport Bowing emphasizes the importance
of delivering the ball accurately and consis-
tently, making adjustments in technique,
adjusting to the way the lane oil patterns
change and converting spares.
5
Science and technology continues to mold
the game of bowling, and the game of bowl-
ing tries to stay up to date with those
changes, but it is losing. Perfect scores and
series continue to increase every year. A
bowlers ability is covered up by the forgiv-
ing equipment and procedures placed into
todays game.
Can we ever achieve a time when bowlers
actually earn their achievements? It has
been said no matter what the technology
and lane conditions, the bowler still had to
throw the ball down the lane 12 times. That
might be true, but in most cases people are
getting help to achieve perfection.
In 1958, one of the most impressive bowl-
ing records was achieved when the famed
Budweisers Bowling Team bowled a 3858.
The team consisted of: Don Carter (754),
Ray Bluth (834), Pat Patterson (736), Tom
Hennesey (759), Dick Weber (775). This
has been beaten many times since then, with
the new record of 3937 being shot on March
30, 2009.
Anyone who follows bowling history
knows of the Budweisers bowlers, but I am
sure that very few have ever hear of the
bowlers who shot the current record score,
or the other members of teams that have
beaten the 3858 score that is now not even
in the top 10 in USBC history.
Bowling has become a sport where kids,
before they reach puberty, are able to
achieve perfection. Would they have been
able to do that before the sport became a
science and technology evolution? Maybe,
but highly doubtful.
Science and technology has modernized
the sport in the past 120 years, but it has
also ruined it. Can it be a big factor for a
loss in association membership?
Hopefully, science and technology can
help bring scoring back to the days when a
bowler had to earn what they achieved.
Bowling is a game that many love from
the time they are introduced to it, but today
many are leaving it and not coming back.
In the opening of the 1970s TV show, The
6 Million Dollar Man, they said We have
the technology We can rebuild him
Lets hope technology of the future can
rebuild the technology from the past.
