Tommy Jones and Chris Barnes broke doubles record to take Gold at PABCON in Puerto Rico. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A day after Team USA's Bill O'Neill broke the singles record, his teammates Chris Barnes and Tommy Jones smashed the doubles record at the 2009 Pan American Bowling Confederation Championships. Barnes and Jones combined to shoot 2,788 on the first of three squads and held on throughout the day to win the title at Carolina Bowling Center. Jones led the duo with 1,404 for six games, an average of 234, while Barnes totaled 1,384, an average of 230.67. Their total broke the previous record of 2,709, set by Mexico's Victor Mar and Vicente Mendez in 1989. "We are really pleased with how we performed, especially since the lanes played completely different today than they did in the practice session a couple days ago," Barnes said. "We came in with a strategy and had to change that quite a bit. We could have given away a lot of pins, but we changed our strategy." Barnes and Jones used a huge final game of 536 to push their score over the record mark. Jones closed with 279, while Barnes added 257. "It was a huge advantage for Tommy and I to get to bowl

together," Barnes said. "We see the lane very similarly, and we both had a very clear picture of what was going on. We talked our way through everything today." Their teammates, David Haynes and O'Neill, earned the silver medal with 2,583. O'Neill led the pair with 1,325, while Haynes contributed 1,258. Puerto Rico's Frankie Colon and Luis Rodriguez took the bronze with 2,569. The final Team USA pairing of Cassidy Schaub and Patrick Allen ended up eighth with 2,476. On the women's side, Team USA's Kim Terrell-Kearney and Lynda Barnes held the lead going into the final squad with 2,438 but ended up in fourth place, narrowly missing a medal by two pins. Terrell-Kearney shot 1,275, while Barnes had 1,163. Guatemala's Zussie Machon and Sofia Granda earned the gold medal with 2,621, Mexico's Daniela Alvarado and Sandra Gongora took silver with 2,457, while the Dominican Republic's Paula Vilas and Aumi Guerra won the bronze with 2,440.

Susan’s First League

Susan Frankowski, Paul Cece, and Shooting Stars biggest fan and cheering section 7 year old Justin Cece.

WAYNE, NJ - Despite never having bowled in a league before, and having very limited experience overall, Susan Frankowski came through in a big way this summer for her team ‘Shooting Stars’. Bowling in a Thursday night doubles league with partner Paul Cece, Susan started off slowly the first seven weeks, averaging just 108 through her first 21 games. Paul also struggled. Normally a 215 bowler at Rockaway Lanes, Paul had a difficult time adjusting to the new center and conditions and averaged just 198 the first seven weeks. Shooting Stars struggled to a 22-27 record, landing them in the bottom ten of the 30 team league. Things turned around dramatically for the Shooting Stars during week 8. Susan narrowly missed her first 400 series, bowling a career high 397, while Paul finally found his stroke and shot a 684. This resulted in a five-point night for the Shooting Stars team

and began the gradual climb up the standings. Over the final 8 weeks of the season, Shooting Stars lost just one week and recorded an outstanding record of 39 wins, 17 losses, for a final record of 61 wins, 44 losses. This was good for fifth place in the highly competitive Thursday night doubles league. Though Paul managed to average 210 over the final eight weeks, all the credit for the Shooting Stars successful season goes to Susan. She averaged an impressive 122 over her final 24 games….an impressive turnaround for someone with such limited bowling experience. Reluctant at first to even join the league, Susan ended up having the time of her life and is already looking forward to next season. She should serve as an inspiration to men and women alike that are considering joining their first bowling league!

Are pro bowlers athletes? You have heard that question before, and you will hear it again and again. Of course they are. Dictionaries inform us that an athlete is one who contends for a prize. The word books also define an athlete as anyone trained or fit to contend in exercises requiring physical agility, stamina, and often strength. The pro bowler, male or female, fits, with the possible exception of strength. Though strength is helpful, it isn't vital because the type necessary in bowling is not the brute strength so needed in the heavy contact sports. In bowling, timing, coordination, and a delicate touch add up to a high degree of finesse needed to go along with selected force to score consistently. Top bowling takes rhythm, balance, and skilled muscular effort. The muscles must be supple and toned, in shape, strong, but not necessarily rock hard. A pro bowler must be competitive. He pays to play, unlike other sport players who are paid to play. The bowler's pay is what he wins, and he cashes only with superior performances. Dedication is a must for any athlete. A star bowler must spend long hours for many years building, perfecting and maintaining skills. There is a growing school of thought that today's bowling equipment might be better than the players and this cuts down on the time needed to get to the top. True or not, too many times a pro bowler is classed with the average fun and recreation bowler. That's akin to equating a touch football game at a picnic with the Super Bowl. Former PBA tour tournament director Harry Golden always pointed out how much time and physical effort a pro had to exert, and all-time great Carmen Salvino explained how many great athletes from other sports had trouble keeping up in bowling. One of the keen students of the sport, Hall of famer Johnny Petraglia weighs in, "If a kid pitches a shutout in Little

League for six innings everybody considers him a great athlete. A typical game takes two hours so the kid is on the mound about an hour, gets a break every 10 minutes or so, and you can even call timeouts.” "That same kid could bowl in Junior Bowlers Tour events. He gets on the lanes at 1 p.m., rolls qualifying, then might advance to the semi finals and then the stepladder finals. By the time he's finished it could be 9 p.m. He bowls on changing lanes, and generally is out there by himself for eight solid hours. At the end of the tournament the winner has gone through a real workout, yet nobody looks at him as a great athlete. This could be the same kid who pitched the shutout." There is a question as to which was the more demanding test. Top ranked bowlers roll more games in a week than the average bowler rolls in a year. They probably spend more time in actual competition than any other sports performer. Pro bowlers are often on the lanes more than seven hours and the total time involved, back and forth between squads, preparation (checking and drilling or changing balls, practicing, etc.) can more often than not add up to 12 hours in a single day. There is little relaxing, at any stage. Each and every roll of the

ball counts in qualifying and match play. A must is the ability to concentrate under constant pressure, on TV, and in a sport where you're always in a crowd, yet always all alone. Spectators are only a few feet away from competing bowlers, but it is still you and only you against the lane conditions and the pins. Elite bowlers must learn about equipment, lane surfaces, lane finishes, lanes dressings, and other variables, each worthy of deep study and plenty of homework. The sport looks simple. It is, simple to play, difficult to master, impossible to conquer. Each higher average plateau is a new challenge, and the pro side is the highest peak. There are millions upon millions of bowlers. Few are high on the average list and those good enough to make a living at the sport can be counted in the hundreds. Is a bowler an athlete? Add up the definite skills and knowledge, physical and mental, needed for success at the higher and pro levels, and top bowlers must be ranked as outstanding athletes. And bowling must heed the words of Petraglia, "It's got to be brought out to the rest of the world that a bowler is an athlete, whether people believe it or not. The industry has got to help get that message across."

Walter Ray Williams Jr. Reaches a New Milestone By Bill Vint

OCALA, Fla.– Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. spent a relaxing day at home Tuesday, October 6, 2009, contemplating if not celebrating his 50th birthday. In addition to his record 45 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour titles and more than $4 million in career earnings heading into the PBA’s World Series of Bowling, Oct. 6 marked the day Walter Ray Williams Jr. became eligible to begin compiling a new set of records as a PBA Senior Tour competitor. “Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to do this day for a long time,” he dead-panned. “I’m just happy to be up and around.” At age 50, Williams remains a remarkably physically-fit athlete. He plays golf at near-scratch level. He’s still a world-class horseshoe player. And he remains at the top of his chosen sport – bowling – with no end in sight. “Amazingly, I didn’t expect to be doing this well this late in my career, but I’m still bowling fairly consistently and giving the kids something to shoot at,” he said. “Right now I’m exempt (to compete on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour) and that’s my main focus, but I’ll bowl most of the PBA Senior Tour events I’m available for, if my schedule allows. I might bowl a few regionals if I can, too. “It’s funny,” he added. “Last weekend there was a senior regional about 50 miles away from me, but I wasn’t 50 yet…” It’s hard to imagine what Williams has left to conquer as he enters the 2009-10 season, but there are a couple of items on his wish list. “If they don’t happen, it’s not a big deal, but winning the Tournament of Champions would be a nice addition to my portfolio,” he said. The Tournament of Champions is the only major title Williams is missing. A TOC victory would mean completion of the PBA Triple Crown (U.S. Open and PBA Championship), Grand Slam (add the USBC Masters) and Super Slam (add the PBA Touring Players Championship). “I don’t

expect it, and if it never happens, oh, well. The other is bowling a 300 on TV. I don’t expect that either, but I hope to get a few opportunities. “I’ve had a few chances at 300s on TV, but I either threw a bad shot or got a bad break. People make a big deal about bowling 300 games, but bowling one on TV would be kinda special,” he said. “And it would be nice to throw one at someone else. I’ve certainly had enough of them (four) thrown at me.” Williams has remained remarkably fit across the years. He has his occasional sore knee and sore wrist problems – functions of age, but otherwise he more than holds his own against “the kids.” “Physically, I’ve kept my weight under control,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing. About five years ago my wife (Paige) decided to get serious about her weight and I decided that was a pretty good idea for me as well. I started eating less, drinking water rather than soda, things like that. I don’t work out a lot, but I get exercise with golf and horseshoes. I probably do a real workout once a week or so, but it’s more diet for me than anything. I love to eat like everyone, but if I kept going the way I was going a few years, I was going to be way too heavy. “I feel good,” Williams continued. “My biggest problem during the off season is that I don’t work at my game a lot. I’ve been doing some exhibitions, and I’ve bowled a couple of regionals. I’m going to bowl a couple more because I want to get ready for the (QubicaAMF) World Cup in Malaysia. For me, tournament play is the best practice in the world.” Another adjustment to Williams’ physical and mental well-being has been fatherhood. At age 47, he and Paige adopted their daughter, Rebecca, who is now 3. “Oh, yes, Rebecca counts as exercise,” he laughed. “Life is good.” Williams is the top qualifier and will compete for his 46th career title in the finals of the PBA Motor City Open which will air on ESPN on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 1 p.m.
