Tom Baker Wins Senior Pepsi Open
By Jerry Schneider
DECATUR, Ill. – Tom Baker of
King, N.C., captured his first
Professional Bowlers Association
Senior Tour title in three years by
defeating Dale Csuhta of
Wadsworth, Ohio, 237-181, to win
the PBA Senior Pepsi Open at
Spare Time Lanes.
Baker, a PBA Hall of Famer and
four-time Senior Player of the Year,
earned $8,000 and denied Csuhta’s
bid for his first Senior title. Csuhta
earned $4,500 for second.
Baker, who collected his ninth
career Senior Tour title, has strug-
gled after winning four consecutive
PBA Senior Player of the Year
awards and credited a change from
a five-step to a six-step delivery in
Hammond, Ind., for giving his
game new life.
“I was watching Pete Weber
bowling at a trade show in York,
Pa., recently and I noticed he used a
six-step delivery and thought I need
to change something, so why not try
it?” said the 55-year-old Baker. “I
fell into it naturally and I could tell
immediately the improvement it
was making in my timing.
“I knew I had a timing and release
O’Neill is Golden at World Men’s Championships
MUNICH, Germany - In what has
become one of international bowl-
ing's biggest rivalries, the United
States topped Korea for the singles
gold medal at the 2010 World Tenpin
Bowling Association World Men's
Championships.
Team USA's Bill O'Neill defeated
Korea's Choi Bok-Eum, 244-202, in
the one-game gold-medal match at
Dream Bowl Palace. England's
Dominic Barrett and Team USA's
Chris Barnes shared the bronze
medal after falling in the semifinals.
It was the latest clash between the
two world bowling powers, which
have met for medals in men's events,
women's events and youth events
around the world over the past few
years. And it was Team USA coming
out on top in the opening event of
this edition of the World Men's
Championships.

in another country after winning the
gold medal is something you can't
describe," said O'Neill, who won two

answer.”

hyped up about it, though, because it
was in singles. It would be an even
more emotional experience with my
other teammates up there with me.
Hopefully, we get a chance to do that."
In the title match, O'Neill started
strong with three consecutive strikes,
a spare and five more strikes. By the
time six frames were in the books,
O'Neill had amassed a 44-pin lead
and rolled to the title.

J o a n Ta y l o r ’ s
Te n P i n R a p . . . .
This year there were 48 students,
spanning ages 12 to 72 at the tenth
annual Pro Image Bowling Camp,
or as I call it “Bowling Boot
Camp” at Rockaway Lanes. There
were five females and 43 males,
three left-handers and 45 right-
handers. Of the 48, 28 or more
than half were there for their first
time. Eleven were there for their
second, six for their third, one for a
fourth, one for a fifth, and me for
my tenth. They came from
Delaware, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
even Texas.
I couldn’t help but look back
over all the camps and see how
changes were made each time. For
some of the early camps, a sports
psychologist was brought in to dis-
cuss the mental game and interact
with the campers or students in
some fun activities. Ken
Yokobosky and Fred Borden, who
have directed the program from the
start, brought in a professional
bowler guest speaker and coach for
the third day, a few years into the
camp program. This year the guest
was Walter Ray Williams, Jr. In the
past there was Rhino Page, Pete
Weber, Ryan Shafer, Parker Bohn
III, Chris Barnes, and Jason
Couch. In addition to the pro
answering questions and relating
some tour stories, he would coach
on the lanes, and wrap up with a
one-on-one tournament in a simu-
lated televised finals setting. The
amateur who qualified for this
would be given a free campership
for the next year, currently valued
at $615.25.
This year brought a new twist, as
each coach gave instructions in
one area only, such as the physical
game, ball release, angles and
zones, right or left side spares and
surface adjustments. And the cast
and credentials of the coaching
staff could have easily warranted a
red carpet in front of Rockaway
Lanes! It is a given that they are all
certified at various levels, gold, sil-
ver or bronze, all of which take
hours of preparation and educa-
tion.
Coaches Chip Vincent and Andy
Zavaglia both attended the camps
for five years, and then became
certified coaches, thereby “giving
back to bowling.” Zavaglia is also
a two-time cancer survivor. Two
other coaches are retired teachers,
John Neral who came in from his
new hometown of Washington, DC
to coach, and Greg Rottengen, who
coached for his ninth time. Al
Jones, who has had two double
lung transplants and won the sin-
gles division in the county tourna-
ment this year, also returned to
coach. Joe Costanza, a lefthander,
was coaching the left side spares.
Anthony Williams, a student and
bowler for William Paterson is a
coach-in-training, another first for
the camp.
Jeri Edwards, who bowled for
Penn State and was head coach for
Team USA, is one of only 35 gold
level coaches in the entire world.
She is currently the head coach for
the Puerto Rican bowling teams
who have been doing well since
hiring her. Who wouldn’t mind
commuting for that job? Noel
Vega, an area regional bowler is
coaching the right side spares.
Fred Borden and Ken Yokobosky
are also gold level coaches. In
fact, it was Borden, 69, who wrote
the coaching certification pro-
grams.
Friday’s opening session in the
classroom began with an overview
from Borden and Yokobosky. Fred
said, “Have you ever heard of
someone being bitten by an ele-
phant? No. But little mosquito
bites can get to you. We are going
to help you get rid of those mos-
quitoes.” What is still amazing is
that every time Borden gives a
presentation in the classroom or
instructs one-on-one on the lanes,
it is always new and fresh. The
author of 19 books and bowling
programs, he is dedicated and pas-
sionate, and was as much so when
I met him 35 years ago.
Our returning septuagenarian,
John McBride, Rockaway, attend-
ed his third camp, and as he did
last year, brought in his grand-
daughter, Kayla, from Texas for
her second experience. McBride
has had a heart transplant and
came in three years ago to get back
into bowling and do it well. The
youngest camper, Jack Cook,
Denville, has already won a Junior
Bowlers Tour title at age 12 but
wants to learn “how to move.”
Eric Gentilella, 18, Vernon, is
one of two Charles A. Edwards
scholarship winners and leaving
soon for Wichita State University,
which runs the top collegiate bowl-
ing program in the country. Eric
wants to hone is skills and get a
shot at making the select or the
developmental team at school.
Even if he doesn’t get elite status
during his freshman year, there is
still plenty of free practice for him
at the university’s eight-lane cen-
ter.
The United States Bowling
Congress is still a work in
progress, and always will be.
Bowlers and officials are still
adjusting to the USBC, the
result of a merge of the
American Bowling Congress,
Women's International Bowling
Congress, Young American
Bowling Alliance and USA
Bowling.
That's a lot of years, a lot of
people, a lot of varying interests
and personalities, and a lot of
give and take. In many groups
centuries of trying have failed to
bring smooth transitions and
differences in opinion, so why
does everyone expect this to
happen in bowling in mere years
that can be counted on one
hand.
The list of areas is endless, the
world's greatest and largest par-
ticipant tournaments, and some
of the world's tiny tourneys for
young people, international
involvement, certification of
bowling lanes and all the prod-
ucts linked to bowling because
of use by bowlers, starting with
bowling balls, rule making, local
bowling associations their make-
up and role, awards, charity
involvement, actions within the
industry with other integers of
bowling, halls of fame, financial
structure, and the thousand or
because they were so close they
made quick contact and quicker
falling. The pins were modified
to correct the condition.
Bowling dues too high?
Sanctioned bowling always has
been the best bargain in sports,
but the services offered and
given have not been fully under-
stood and appreciated by the
bowlers who benefit from them.
The USBC stands at its tallest
when it resolves problems such
as a New York situation where
tournament funds were misused,
and the many times similar situ-
ations occur when only a few
dollars are involved instead of a
few hundred thousand.
One early bowling official
resigned his post when he felt
that a prize fund of a little more
than a thousand dollars would
ruin the sport. That ruination
now exceeds six million dollars
and growing. It's not the amount
of money but the amount of
attention and scrutiny given to
achieve fairness and honesty.
Speaking of honesty, during
the bad economic times of the
1930s, when banks were closed,
the ABC had many checks for
tourney entry fees that were no
longer any good. Instead of
panic the officials held on to
them and every check was even-
tually made good by the
bowlers.

Babylon, N.Y., motivated him to continue his rehabilitation. He fol-
lowed that appearance with a trip to Columbus, Ohio, in April where he
spent a week with his former PBA Senior Tour competitors.
Last week, with the assistance of a recently-developed device called a
“WalkAide” that provides electronic stimulation to eliminate a common
stroke condition called “drop foot,” the 34-time PBA Tour champion
made another milestone leap forward. With the WalkAide, he was able
to lift his left foot almost normally and walk “without tripping over his
toes,” Denise Roth said. And with the ability to stand and walk on his
own, Roth decided to test the device on a bowling lane in Fulton, N.Y.,
where he quickly worked his way up from a 6-pound ball to a 12-
pounder, Denise said.
“Mark had use of the device for a seven-day trial and it was amazing,”
Denise said. “He could walk faster and farther than any time since his
stroke. He actually bowled with confidence. He was getting around 100
percent better, which helped him get some badly-needed exercise.
“He had to turn the WalkAide back in after the trial period, so now we
have to wait to see what the insurance company says (about getting it
back),” she added. “It’s a wonderful device. It actually took some of his
hip pain away, too.”

SALUTE TO BOWLING RAISES

MORE THAN $130,000 FOR
INTERNATIONAL BOWLING
MUSEUM AND HALL OF FAME
ARLINGTON, Texas - One of bowling's biggest annual fund-raising
events was once again a huge success, thanks to the generosity of the
people attending and bidding at the 2010 Salute to Bowling.

The Salute, held June 30 at the Las Vegas Hilton during International
Bowl Expo, raised more than $130,000 to help fund the operations of the
new International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame (IBM/HF) at the
International Bowling Campus in Arlington, Texas. It was the most
money raised since moving the event to Bowl Expo in 2002.

"We want to thank everyone who participated in this year's Salute to

Bowling," said IBM/HF President/Chairman of the Board Pat Ciniello.
"To receive such a high level of donations in this economy is a testament
to how much people love bowling and the Museum."

This year's grand item was the Strike Bike donated by the Bowling
Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA). It is one of only two cus-
tom-made bowling-themed bikes made by the famous Teutel family of
the Learning Channel's American Chopper show. US Bowling CEO
Darroll Frewing won the bike for $75,000 after outbidding Bowltech's
Hans Kroll and BPAA Treasurer Tom Martino.

"We are so appreciative of the BPAA and Strike Ten Entertainment for
donating the motorcycle as an auction item to the event," said former
PBA great and Salute to Bowling Chairperson Mike Aulby. "We cannot
thank enough our friends in the bowling industry who participated in the
auction by donations, purchasing and bidding on the items or helping
run the event."

Youth Bowling Summit Coming to Texas

Top Ball Manufacturers and Industry Leaders
To Discuss Future Youth Programs
ARLINGTON, Texas, - Four major bowling ball manufacturers have
been invited to the International Bowling Campus (IBC) in Arlington,
Texas August 24, 2010, for a historic meeting on youth bowling, accord-
ing to the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA).
Leaders from Brunswick Bowling, Ebonite International, Storm
Bowling Products and 900 Global/AMF, along with Steve Johnson,
executive director of the BPAA and Stu Upson, executive director of the
USBC, will take part in the one-day meeting to discuss the future of
youth bowling, explore ways the group can partner together to improve
existing programs and review potential new initiatives.
"I believe youth bowling can be helped by a myriad of support, and to
that end we have invited some of the most powerful people in the indus-
try to Arlington to exchange ideas," said Chad Murphy, BPAA Director
of Youth.
A day after the summit, a representative sampling of proprietors and
youth directors from around the country will meet at the IBC with the
BPAA for an orientation on a new project to be kicked off this fall. A
new youth experience/coaching concept is scheduled to be tested in as
many as fifteen centers across the U.S. This project will be a joint pro-
gram supported by BPAA in conjunction with USBC.
The BPAA also provided a recap of another successful summer of
scholarship tournaments that awarded over $170,000 to youth bowlers
to use toward college expenses.
"Because of these tournaments, and the volunteers from the proprietor
ranks, dozens of kids will now have the opportunity to offset some of
their present and future costs of achieving their college education," said
Steve Johnson, executive director of the BPAA. "We are grateful for
their time and willingness to work with our youth and the future of our
sport."

MUNICH, Germany - The Team USA pairing of Patrick Allen and Rhino Page earned
an unexpected bronze medal at the 2010 World Tenpin Bowling Association World
Men's Championships.
After competing on the opening of five qualifying squads, Allen and Page didn't think
their qualifying score would be high enough to advance to the semifinals as one of the
top four teams. Instead, they slide into the semifinals as the fourth seed.
In the semifinals, the Americans fell to the eventual gold medalists, Sweden, 449-
373. The Swedes went on to win the title with a 398-379 victory over Malaysia.
"We feel fortunate that we made it into the semifinals, but as a team we don't feel
like we bowled as well as we should have on this pattern," Allen said. "The bottom line
is that we aren't here to win bronze medals. Great bowlers are able to take advantage of
situations like this, and we didn't get it done today."
Team USA fell behind early in the semifinal against Sweden and was unable to
recover as Allen shot 209 and Page had 164. Mathias Arup had 253 for Sweden, while
Martin Paulsson shot 196 in the winning effort.
In the championship match, the Swedes edged past the Malaysians after Nur Aiman
left a 4-6-7-10 split in the final frame. That setup Arup to mark in the final frame for
the title, and he delivered a perfect strike to lock it up.
Paulsson led the Swedes in the gold-medal match with 221, while Arup shot 177.
Aiman shot 192 for Malaysia, and Alex Liew had 187.
Malaysia advanced to the championship match with a 429-325 victory over
Germany's Bodo Konieczny and Jens Nickel. The Germans and Americans shared the
bronze medal with the semifinals losses.
The Team USA pairing of Bill O'Neill and Chris Barnes finished just outside of
medal contention, taking fifth place, 11 pins out of the semifinals. Wes Malott and
Tommy Jones took 17th place, missing the semifinals by 68 pins.
