Professional Bowling Stars

Head to Chicago for ShootoutCHICAGO - A unique showcase blending the highest level of talent

with the hottest trends in the recreational side of the sport will take

  place over Memorial Day weekend when 20 of the world’s greatest

 bowlers return to downtown Chicago for a unique team competition at

upscale 10pin bowling lounge in the landmark Marina City complex.

The GEICO PBA Team Shootout, the fifth annual PBA Summer 

Series special event, will result in more than 15 hours of national

television on ESPN and ESPN2 over the summer months. It will be

the first appearance by PBA players in Chicago proper in 47 years.

“The return of team bowling to the heart of the city where many of 

the greatest names in bowling history built their careers will present

the sport in an entirely new light,” said Professional Bowlers

Association Deputy Commissioner Tom Clark.The GEICO PBA Team Shootout, with the PBA Manufacturers

Cup as its ultimate prize, will be conducted in a “boutique” bowling

facility that calls House of Blues its next-door-neighbor and

includes a Who’s Who list of Chicago celebrities and business lead-

ers among its clients. 10pin bowling lounge has hosted hundreds of 

special events, including high-profile fundraisers conducted by

Chicago Cubs pitching star Kerry Wood, Chicago Bears defensive

lineman Israel Idonije, Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent

Seabrook and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, a Chicago native,

among others.

The GEICO PBA Team Shootout will feature four teams of five

PBA stars who will compete in a variety of singles, doubles and

team matches, earning points toward the PBA Manufacturers Cup

for their respective sponsoring companies. It will be the first PBA

Tour event held in Chicago since the former Bowlium hosted the

1963 Chicago Coca-Cola Open when the PBA Tour was only five

years old.Reigning PBA Manufacturers Cup winner Storm Products will

defend its title against teams representing bowling ball manufactur-

ing rivals Brunswick, Ebonite International and 900 Global. Among

the PBA stars who will compete in Chicago are PBA Hall of Famer 

Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J. (Brunswick); newly-named PBA

Player of the Year Mika Kovuniemi of Hartland, Mich., and PBA

Triple Crown winner Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas (Ebonite

International); newly-crowned USBC Queens champion Missy

Parkin of Lake Forest, Calif. (the only woman in the competition)

and PBA Hall of Famer Brian Voss of Marietta, Ga. (900 Global);

and PBA Hall of Famers Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., and Pete

Weber, St. Ann, Mo. (Storm).

Chicagoland will be represented by four-time PBA Tour champion

Sean Rash of Montgomery (Brunswick) and seven-time Tour winner 

Steve Jaros of Yorkville (900 Global).

Idle bowling thoughts.

...I still buy late lefty pioneer

Bill Allen's theory about clutch

bowling. "Over the years I

can't count the number of 

strikes I've rolled, so what's one

more." he said. He had himself 

convinced he could always get

one more and proved it by win-

ning many major titles in clutch

situations.

...Probably half the time you

spend on practice is wasted.

Problem is to determine what

half.

...Always try to reason with a

teammate. It will keep you

occupied while you lose your

temper, and remember that if 

you stop praising the newest

bowler on a team he thinks his

teammates don't like him. Keep

praising him and he soon thinks

he is too good for the team.

...The main objective of any

instructor is to teach so well

that the student can get along

very well without the teacher.

...Senior bowling programs

are doing well from local

leagues to senior pro activities.

But future senior success is

totally dependent on how well

we succeed with current youth

programs.

A happy youth bowler today

may well be a happy seniorbowler more than a half centu-

ry in the future.

...The test of a great bowler

comes not when he is bowling

well, but how he manages when

he is rolling poorly.

...Bowling still needs a solid

national bowling show once a

week every week of every year.

...Nothing is funny when you

are hungry, your feet hurt, or

the corner pins aren't going

down.

...Every league bowler rolls

three sets each night, the one

they were going to roll, the one

they do bowl, and the one they

should have bowled.

...The longer you're in a

slump, the longer it seems. A

bad game doesn't really take

three hours to bowl and finish.

It just seems

that way.

...It is never too early to start

looking over tournament

blanks and reading them care-

fully. But I must admit that

there are many bowlers who

have their tournament schedule

planned six months ahead and

start shopping for birthday

gifts six hours before the impor-

tant date.

...After you hear two bowlers

talk about their match, and lis-

ten to those who watched and

gave their account of the con-

test, you begin to wonder about

history books.

...The longevity records in

bowling are amazing, century

old league and tournament,

bowlers who haven't missed or

been late to a league session for

decades, bowlers who keep a

record of every ball they ever

rolled. Most long term records

are hard to beat, and the first

plateau is the most difficult, liv-

ing in good health long enough.

...Unless you see them in

action you can't begin to realize

how good pro bowlers are over

the long run, and easy scoring

conditions give the wrongimpression, making the gap

between average bowlers and

top pros narrower. Pros can fig-

ure out ways to score well on

any condition. If tournaments

were conducted in bumpy park-

ing lots some pros would find a

way to average 220.

...While there is no such thing

as a bad bowler, a lot of them

can really fool you.

Frank Formicola of Rochester, a bowling tournament pro-

moter for more than 40 years and a former president of the

Greater Rochester Area Bowling Proprietors Association, and

the late Dick Battista, a Professional Bowlers Association Tour 

champion and prominent bowler in the New York City area in

the 1960’s and ‘70’s, will be inducted into the New York State

Hall of Fame in June.

Results of the voting by the Empire

State USBC Bowling Association

Hall of Fame committee were

released today. Formicola and

Battista will be enshrined at the New

York State USBC Hall of Fame and

Awards Dinner at 6 p.m. June 11 at the

Carrier Circle Hotel in East Syracuse.Formicola is well known for his

efforts in starting the Lilac City

Bowling Tournament in Rochester in

1969, and developing it into the sec-

ond-largest independently operating

 bowling tournament in the world. In

recent years, following a bout with

lung cancer, he has devoted his time into building the

Upstate New York Bowling Tournament, which has attract-

ed bowlers from 12 states and two Canadian provinces.

He has been involved in numerous bowling endeavors,

including the Young American Bowling Alliance, New York 

State BPA tournaments and conventions, Fun Time Youth

Bowling and Greater Rochester BPA television shows, Empire

State Games, and Pro-Ams for the PBA and Ladies Pro

Bowlers Tour.

His community service includes leadership of the annual

Lupus Foundation Golf Tournament and the Rochester Press

Radio Club annual Day of Champions.

Battista made a name for himself in league and tournament

competition in New York City, at the ABC and USBC Open

Championships and the PBA Tour. His exemplary career was

cut short by illness and the need for a heart transplant. One of 

the early recipients of a donor heart, he

was the first professional athlete to

return to his sport and compete again

after a heart transplant.

Locally, the left-hander won team

championships in the Metropolitan

Major Classic League, and posted the

league’s high series in 1963-64 and

1964-65 (705). He won the AssociationTournament team (1971), doubles

(1967) and singles (1974) champi-

onships – rolling a 739 scratch series to

capture the singles crown.

He won numerous regional tourna-

ments, including the PBA Eastern

Regional Ebonite championship in

1970 and the John Vargo Classic in 1971. At the national level,

he won the PBA Grand Rapids Open on Aug. 17, 1970, and

 placed third at the 1971 Firestone Tournament of Champions.

Battista, a member of the New York Bowling Association

and New York Bowling Council Halls of Fame, registered nine

certified 300 games and an 802 series. He passed away on

Dec. 21, 1979 at the age of 48.

Women to Induct Allen, Johnson

Previously, the New York State USBC Women’s Bowling

Association announced its Hall of Fame inductees – Sheila

Allen of Peekskill and Marilyn Johnson of Poughkeepsie.

They, too, will be inducted at the June 11 awards dinner.

Sheila Allen will be inducted into the New York State USBC

Women’s Bowling Association Hall of Fame for Superior 

Performance. The Peekskill resident and member of the

Westchester USBC, has six 800 series, eight 300 games and

eight 299 games. Her high series is

836, bowled in 2008.

She has won numerous tourna-

ments at the local and state level.

She represented New York as the

Team USA qualifier and won local

qualifiers for the U.S. Open. She

supports New York State bowling

and has bowled in 17 state tourna-ments as well as bowling in the New

York State Queens Tournaments.

She is a member of the Women’s All

Star Association (WASA) Hall of 

Fame.

Marilyn Johnson will be inducted

for Meritorious Service. She is a

dedicated supporter of women’s bowling in New York State

and was a member of the New York State Women’s Bowling

Association Board of Directors. She served on the Queens

Tournament as the Chair and has been a member of the Miss

Liberty, Awards, Chaplain, Cancer Walks, Policy &

Procedures and Finance committees.

She is an active member of the state, national and local 600

clubs. She is a member of the Poughkeepsie Hall of Fame and

has been recognized by the Dutchess County Sports Museum

for her service to bowling.

WALLINGTON, NJ - Signaling

an end to the winter break, the

  North Jersey Interscholastic

Conference [NJIC] resumed

league play at Wallington with a

flurry of impressive games, led by

Park Ridge junior Dan Wuhrman

tossing a 268 then adding a 214

for the season’s third high two-

some and Dan’s teammates caught

his opening game fire to snare

league high game of 896, although

the Owls had to scramble in the

second contest. Undaunted by

Park Ridge’s mammoth opener,

Hawthorne Christian gave the

Owls all they could handle in the

finale before dropping a heart-

 breaking four pin decision; anchor 

Isaac Marcinuk led the Defenders

surge with a masterful 244.

Elsewhere, Leonia’s Adham

Kadaj fired 257-227, Rob

Zimbaldi 201-205 and June Park 

203 as the Lions surprised

Lyndhurst, 5-0; Paul Ulrich rolled

207-193 for the Golden Bears.

  New Milford. Seif had plenty of 

help from Wildcat teammates Joe

Bocage 213-209, Dean Hansen

193-220 and Billy Justis 196.

its confrontation with equally

unscathed Park Ridge by turning

aside North Arlington, 5-0 behind

Rey DeJesus 237, Nikko Deliantis

213, Stephen Marciniak 209 and a

  pair of 201s from Evan Downey.

Tops for the Vikings were Matt

Glarner 225 and Bobby Manella

206. Mark Fratterelli had 203 and

John Porteous 201 as Wood-Ridge

 prevailed 5-0 over Palisades Park.Closing out the afternoon’s match-

es, Hasbrouck Heights’ Matt

Marinelli tallied 223, but his team

dropped two games to Bogota

which benefited from anchor 

Anthony Giacomelli’s 195-180.

In a later session, the Patriot

Division’s two previously unbeat-

en schools clashed and when the

smoke cleared, each had dropped

their first game of the season with

 pacesetting Park Ridge taking the

opener and St Mary grabbing the

finale. The Owls held onto wood,

1567-1540 to win the confronta-

tion, 3-2. Sparking Park Ridge

were Mike Wuhrman 214-215,Dan Wuhrman 209 and Tim

Cavaliere 201-206 while the Gaels

had deuces from Rey DeJesus

226, Nikko Deliantis 221, Evan

Downey 208 and Stephen

Marciniak 204-201. Meanwhile,

Lyndhurst bounced back to sweep

Queen of Peace as soph Lexus
