When famed artist LeRoy Neiman was commissioned
to do a painting for the International Bowling Hall of
Fame and Museum, he and Frank Esposito selected Earl
Anthony as the focal point. They felt that Anthony in
action captured the meaning, muscle, and nuances of the
sport.They were right.
On and off the lanes, Anthony conveyed what bowling
was and should be about. When Anthony died at age 63,
bowling lost a legend, and many of us lost a good friend.
Anthony could have a little record book of his own. He
had the most pro tour titles, 41, and 10 or more of them
were majors, according to varying definitions of majors.
He won titles in 14 consecutive years, was Bowler and
Player of the Year six times, named Bowler of the 1970s
and the best of the century. He was elected to bowling's
highest honors, the ABC and PBA Halls of Fame, the
first year he was eligible, and has been honored by many
groups in many ways for many reasons for many years.
Many of his records have or will be broken. But never
to be erased are the facts that he was the first pro bowler
to win $100,000 in a single year, 1975, when first place
prizes were as low as $3,000, and was the first to cracka million dollars in career earnings, in 1982. His ulti-
mate honor came when he was selected greatest PBA
player.
I worked hard on my game. Said Anthony. "I
always wanted to be the best and was always proud
when I won or came up with a record. Records are made
to be broken but it's nice to know you were the first to
do certain things better than your peers. I've always
been competitive and if I'm going to do something, I do
my best or not at all.As Harry Golden, former PBA tournament director,
who witnessed most of Anthony's wins, noted, "Earl was
one of those fierce competitors who did not like to lose
at anything to anybody."
It all wasn't as easy as Anthony made it look. After a
promising baseball career was cut short at 21 because of
injuries, he turned more to bowling. From the time he
was 10 Earl had dreamed of being a top pitcher, and he
came so close, clocked as high as throwing 95 miles an
hour.
He failed in his first outings as a pro, but returned to
his Tacoma, Wash. home area, fine tuned his athletic tal-
ent, and came back big.
Yet, he was 31 when he won his first title in 1970, an
age when most athletes are on their way down.
When Anthony began to gain notice it was almost as
much for his unfashionable crew-cut hair, glasses, andquiet demeanor as it was for his pin toppling.
But he was not to be denied. He won titles of every
kind
With his PBA tour and other national telecasts he was
on the living room screen some 200 times,
meaning he was seen full face and figure for
from half an hour to an hour and a half. It
made him a familiar personality wherever he
went.
His bowling talent, once established, was
universally praised.
"He is an awesome machine." wrote Hall of
Fame writer Dick Evans. Bowling great
Marshall Holman said, "He was just about
the best at everything. And famed coach
John Jowdy echoed that sentiment, "He was
among the best in every part of the sport, andif he was having problems with any part of his
game, he knew how to work out of it." "It is
beyond belief that any bowler could be bet-
ter." said Steve James, ABC Hall of Fame sec-
retary.
Gary Mage, a former doubles partner, said,
"He was always a thinker. He checked himself
out like a pilot before takeoff. He was so thor-
ough he could almost predict every shot."
Though he suffered a major heart attack in
1970 he came back less than a year later and
went on to score major wins in regular and
senior competition.
Until his death he remained in bowling as a TV com-
mentator, bowling proprietor and involved in a number
of bowling enterprises. He has received the highest
praise from everyone in TV he ever worked with,
including broadcasting's best, Chris Schenkel, Denny
Schreiner and Jay Randolph.
No man gave more of his time, effort, prestige and
finances to such causes as the Hall of Fame, veterans,
children and charities too numerous to mention. As
ABC president Tom De Chalus said, "His contributions
to the ABC and to bowling can never be fully measured
and appreciated."
I worked closely with Anthony on a number of proj-
ects, including an annual bowling fans guide, telecasts
and videos, and had the honor of being his PBA Hall of
Fame presenter.
Whether it was in a bowling center, TV studio, veter-
an's hospital, hotel restaurant, airport or shopping cen-
ter, he never refused an autograph request. He signed onpictures, scraps of paper, hats, shoes, bags, and every
item of clothing. And he often added a little
pleasant chatter.
Almost always, after every autograph he thanked
those who asked.
At the BPAA Bowl Expo in Las Vegas Anthony was a
featured host at one of the booths and the lines were
long all day, varied assortment of signature seekers.
It was the same old Earl, smiling, talkative, a perfect
people's person, and he never failed to say thanks.
He will always be revered as the Earl who became the
King of his sport.

Earl

USBC REVISES SPORT BOWLING AVERAGE ADJUSTMENT SCALEBy Terry Bigham - USBC
ARLINGTON, Texas - For the
2012-13 season, the United States
Bowling Congress has updated
the scale used to adjust the aver-
ages of Sport Bowling league
members who compete in stan-
dard leagues or tournaments.
The USBC Equipment
Specifications and Certification
team determined the changes to
the Sport Bowling League
Adjustment Table were needed
after analyzing data of bowlers in
Sport and standard leagues.
Research continues to show a
bowler' s average on the more
challenging Sport Bowling condi-
tions typically will be lower than
on standard conditions.
The table should be used if a
bowler only has a Sport Bowling
average and wants to compete in
a tournament or league under
standard conditions.
"The Sport Adjustment table
was put into place to ensure the
competition in leagues and tour-
naments conducted on standard
conditions are equitable," said
Neil Stremmel, USBC Managing
Director, National Governing
Body. "We continuously examine
data to see if the variance is sig-
nificant enough to warrant a revi-
sion of the table, and our recent
analysis showed we needed to
make adjustments."
The Sport Adjustment table last
was revised for the 2008-2009
season. The new mathematical
model was developed based on
the most current data available
from bowlers who had averages
in both sport and standardleagues. It is the best representa-
tion of the difference between
sport bowling averages and stan-
dard averages.
The adjustment is not consid-
ered a re-rate, but an adjustment
to what would be expected of a
bowler during competition on a
typical league and tournament
condition, and does not supersede
a tournament director's ability to
further adjust a bowler's entering
average per USBC Playing Rule
319.
The new Sport Bowling League
Average Adjustment table is
available in the 2012-13 USBC
Playing Rules (Rule 202a) and is
posted online.

Average Adjustment chart for the
2012-13 season.
