    LAS VEGAS Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas,

    capped a three-match sweep in the finals of theProfessional Bowlers Association Cheetah

    Championship, defeating top qualifier Parker Bohn III

    of Jackson, N.J., in the title match of the historic ESPN

    telecast, 243-169, for his ninth career PBA Tour title.

    The first of seven telecasts from PBA World Series

    of Bowling V at South Point Hotel, Casino and

    Bowling Center aired on ESPN, and featured the use

    of a highly-visible blue oil on the lanes for the first

    time in PBA history.

    Malott, in winning his second consecutive title,

    defeated Colombia native Clara Guerrero, 214-208, in

    the opening match, and was nearly perfect in ousting

    51-year-old PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann,

    Mo., 288-242, in advancing to the title match.

    Guerrero, only the third woman ever to advance to the

    nationally-televised championship round of a PBA Tourevent, made a short-lived, but exciting appearance. The

    31-year-old former Wichita State University star now

    married and an American citizen living not far from

    Malott in Pflugerville took a 15-pin lead over Malott

    into the eighth frame of the opening match. But Malott

    finished with a string of five strikes to eliminate

    Guerrero, 214-208, and exorcise a personal demon.

    In two previous nationally-televised matches against

    another woman star, Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y.,

    Malott lost both times. He committed a foul that con-

    tributed to a 235-228 loss to Johnson in the 2005 PBA

    Banquet Open (the first time a woman had ever appeared

    on a PBA Tour telecast), and in July, after he won the

    U.S. Open in Columbus, Ohio, Malott lost a special

    Battle of the Sexes match against Johnson, the

    Womens U.S. Open winner, 194-188.

    There was a lot riding on this show, especially forme, Malott said. The first match against Clara the

    lady I obviously remembered my foul against Liz and

    losing to Liz at the U.S. Open. I needed to get that off my

    back. As much as I acted like it wasnt there, it was on

    the back of my mind. I told myself at the end of the

    match I couldnt give up and let it happen again, so I

    wanted to put the pressure on her and I was fortunate to

    come out the winner.

    For Guerrero, just the opportunity was a dream, she

    said. Every time you see the guys on TV, you want to

    compete with them, beat them. So being here, having the

    opportunity to bowl against the greatest bowlers in the

    world, it was a dream. It was the best part of my career.

    After closing out Guerrero with his string of five

    strikes, Malott added another 10 in a row against Weber,

    losing his shot at a perfect game when he left a 10 pin on

    his 11th shot.

    That might have been the best shot I threw all day,

    Malott said of the 11th shot. Id throw that one again a

    million times.

    He continued his torrid pace, striking on seven of his

    first eight shots in racing away from Bohn in the title

    match.

    Against Pete, both of us are kind of in the running for

    player of the year, and I thought I would help my

    chances by winning that match, Malott said, but I also

    had to beat Parker to win the title, so every match meant

    a lot. I just worried about myself and did what I could to

    win back-to-back titles (the Cheetah Championship wasthe first PBA Tour event since the U.S. Open), and its a

    great feeling.

    The Cheetah Championship was the first time a lane

    conditioning oil with a color additive had ever been used

    in a PBA Tour championship event, and it was praised

    by both Guerrero and Malott.

    I saw it, Guerrero said. I thought it was going to

    be a little different. I thought Id see the lines on the

    bowling ball, but it didnt bother me at all. I think its

    cool for the audience to actually see the oil and under-

    stand the game a little more, but I just ignored it.

    J o a n Ta y l o r s . . . . .

    T e n P i n R a p . . . . .

    Every time I see bowling published or broadcast in

    a non-bowling scenario I am proud and happy. Im not

    talking about the media that would make fun of our

    sport, but rather those who recognize it as fun or chal-

    lenging.

    Here is a sampling of what I saw recently, and I wel-

    come any observations from our readers as well.

    Vizio has come up with a recording program with an

    example of people bowling and being able to replay iton their laptops.

    The hit television comedy, The Middle showed

    the beleaguered parents finally having time to them-

    selves and they look at each other with loving eyes

    and the wife says, You know what would be fun?

    The husband replies, Bowling! They take off for the

    local bowling center and have a great time.

    There is a television ad for the NCAA regarding

    scholar athletes, and in one segment a collegian is

    bowling and a marching band is following her, indi-

    cating recognition for her sport.

    At a science fair and expo I attended in New York, a

    graduate student demonstrated senior citizen activities

    and their purpose. One of her activities was bowling

    which she said was fun for seniors and increased

    their mobility.

    The AARP newsletter featured 99 Great Ways toSave Money and under Family Gifts they suggest-

    ed, a gift card the whole family can use such as

    movies, bowling, or a ball game.

    Parkway Lanes in Elmwood Park, NJ (the home of

    Ken Yokoboskys pro shop) was used as a backdrop

    and example in a commercial for the Bank of

    America.

    While filming in Australia, it was noted that

    Angelina Jolie brought her 6 children to the Strike

    Bowling Center in Sydney for some family fun.

    Film star Vince Vaughan was on the Ellen

    (DeGeneres) Show and when Ellen asked if he did

    something special for his 40th birthday, he said hewent bowling with his family.

    Seinfeld creator Larry David said he bowls every

    ten years when he takes some time off and says that

    because hes been away from it so long he thinks,

    Boy, this is some interesting game, this bowling.

    Look at what Im doing. Its fun.

    There have been many more that I didnt note, but

    suffice to say, the treatment of bowling in the media

    has finally made a turn from the Flintstone,

    Honeymooners, and Dagwood days of treating it as a

    joke and as something to be downplayed by the spous-

    es of the men in each of these families.

    Now that I think of it, Married With Children had

    an episode, which was not your sanctioned league

    play, but it did show friendly competition between

    Peg and Al and in her heels and stretch pants, Peg

    rolled a 300 game. The same was portrayed in TheAndy Griffith Show when Howard Sprague eventu-

    ally, after a blackout, completed his 300 game. That

    one was sanctioned and abided by the then ABC rules.

    There is hope! There is always hope!

    If you're looking for

    Christmas or holiday gifts for

    that bowler on your list the pos-

    sibilities are wide in range and

    cost.

    Personal equipment rates

    high, starting with a bowlingball. Each year 75 to 100 bowl-

    ing balls make their debut. They

    go from a child's starting weight

    of six pounds to the maximum of

    16 pounds. They come in dozens

    of colors, various cover compo-

    sitions, some with pictures or

    objects such as flowers, sculls,

    boxing gloves or scenic logos

    implanted. They even come in

    different scents. In price, bowl-

    ing balls range from about $60

    to as high as $300.

    You can purchase a blank ball,

    to be drilled later to the specifi-

    cations best fitted to the recipi-ent. Avoid pre-drilled balls.

    There are bowling bags and

    bowling bags, to hold your ball

    and whatever else you might

    need on your bowling outings.

    You can find a simple single ball

    bag for as little as $15, and jump

    to a super six ball carrier for as

    much as $400.

    Shoes are important, and they

    come in all styles, colors, and

    materials, some with changeable

    soles and heels to adjust to dif-

    ferent approach surfaces. There

    are also high heeled bowling

    shoes, but they are made for

    showing and jesting, not bowl-ing. Shoes will cost you $25 for

    those to get you by to almost

    $300 for perfect and personal

    foot fits.

    Bowling shirts, slacks, ties and

    kerchiefs are available as are

    jackets and rain gear. Jewelry of

    all kind, rings, watches, belt

    buckles, bracelets and replicas

    of lanes, balls and pins can be

    engraved with a bowler's memo-

    rable performances.

    One of the most helpful, eco-

    nomical and appreciated gifts

    for a bowler is an accessory kit.

    The products included inside

    can feature slip-on bowling

    socks, tape of all kinds, bandag-

    es, product to cover bruisedareas creating a new skin, ball

    cleaner, record books, handicap

    manuals, something to help you

    slide or stop sliding, finger

    inserts, wrist and arm bands of

    all types, resin bags and towels.

    There are many type of bowling

    gloves---some that even provide

    the power of magnets. There are

    the long used accessories, and

    new ones appear regularly. They

    range from less than a dollar to

    $20 or more and you can decide

    how much you want to spend

    and how many items you want

    to include.A thoughtful and always well

    received gift is free practice

    games, membership in bowling

    organizations and pre paid

    entries into tournaments. There

    are local, state, and national

    events in the list of the 10,000

    tournaments conducted world-

    wide. And that's a gift that could

    keep giving in the way of large

    cash and merchandise prizes.

    Bowling publications, books,

    movies and videos abound. But

    if you are giving instructional

    materials, don't overdo it. One

    good book or video is enough,

    two or three might give toomuch to absorb at once. Follow

    up later with another teaching

    aid. There are magazines avail-

    able that regularly feature all

    phases of instruction.

    The ultimate, of course, is to

    gift someone with his or her own

    personal lane, installed in an

    attic, basemen or beside a home.

    Price? Start at $10,000 and go

    up and up, and up.

    Malott agreed.

    Everyone was concerned about what the dye was going to do to the oil, but

    I really didnt move for all three games, he said. Because I bowled all three

    games playing the same line, so you could see the track of the ball. Thats what

    I was curious about.

    This oil could be very educating for the fans and outsiders to help them

    understand what were dealing with, and to see how accurate we are, he added.

    To me thats more important than what the oil did to us. I dont think it affect-

    ed anything performance-wise. Im kind of excited about it.

    The blue oil will be used in all four animal pattern championship finals

    held during the World Series. The Viper Championship presented by PBA

    Bowling Challenge will air next Sunday, Dec. 8, followed by the

    Chameleon Championship on Dec. 15 and the Scorpion Championship on

    Dec. 22. All December telecasts begin at 1 p.m. ET.

    The Cheetah Championship telecast also included the first of four special

    PBA League Challenge segments, allowing the eight PBA League fran-

    chise players to demonstrate their skills in unique competitions. The first

    segment was a blind bowling event in which a large curtain was sus-

    pended over the lanes, hiding the pins from the players and leaving only thefirst part of the lanes visible for targeting. Each player bowled a ninth and

    10th frame, and Weber the franchise player for the PBA League New York

    City WTT KingPins won the initial round of challenge competition by

    throwing four strikes for a perfect score of 60.

    In the light-hearted competition, BROOKLYN STyLES franchise player

    Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., asked for a re-rack (despite not being able

    to see the pins) and competitors jokingly complained that Dallas Strikers

    franchise player Norm Duke had an unfair advantage because hes so short,

    he could see under curtain.

    After winning the round, Weber said, I didnt have to shoot any spares,

    so whats the big deal? I spot at the foul line, so shooting spares wouldnt

    have been a problem if I had needed to shoot at one. I never even saw the

    screen.
