WELCH, Minn. Pete Weber

had a very nice birthday lastweek, winning his second

PBA50 Tour title in the Treasure

Island Resort & Casino Open

presented by Brunswick to lock

up PBA50 Rookie of the Year

honors and clinch a berth in the

new PBA50 Finals which will be

held as part of the PBA World

Series of Bowling V in early

November.

The now 51-year-old St. Ann,

Mo., resident defeated Robert

Harvey of Boise, Idaho, 243-227,

at Island Xtreme Bowl in the

PBA50 Tours final event of the

2013 season to claim the $7,500

first prize. But what made the

victory extra special was Webers

victory over fellow PBA Hall of

Famer and nemesis Walter Ray

Williams Jr. in the semifinal

round.

My birthday was complete

when I beat Walter, said Weber,

who has beaten Williams only

twice in 11 head-to-head matches

in PBA Tour televised contests. I

bowled good all day. It seemed

like I shot 240s all day, but on the

scoring condition we had here,

240 wasnt always a guaranteed

winner. Walter shot a lot better

than his score. He just didnt

carry, and fortunately I did.This is the third time weve

had a (PBA) finals on my birth-

day, Weber added, and Ive

won titles all three times, so I

kind of like bowling on my birth-

day.

The victory allowed Weber to

lock up the PBA50 Rookie of the

Year title, which is based on the

competition points standings.

And he earned 16 Player of the

Year points, which allowed him

to pass Lennie Boresch Jr. of

Kenosha, Wis. (who lost in the

Round of 8), for the third birth in

the PBA50 Finals, a special

ESPN-televised event which willbe conducted during the PBA

World Series at South Point

Casino, Hotel and Bowling

Center in early November.

Williams, who clinched his sec-

ond straight PBA50 Player of the

Year title a week earlier in

Decatur, Ill., and Venezuelas

Amleto Monacelli earned the

first and second berths in the

PBA50 Finals.

Im very happy with my rook-

ie year, Weber added. I bowled

in six tournaments and made the

top four five times. The only way

it could have been better would

have been to win every one, but

Ill take it.

Weber won his first PBA50

Tour title, and first major as a 50-

and-older player, in the USBC

Senior Masters in June.

Another honor was decided

Wednesday when Tim Kauble of

Marion, Ohio, finished in the top

eight to become the PBA50

Tours first Super Senior Player of

the Year, nipping PBA Hall of

Famer Dale Eagle of Tavares, Fla.

The honor for players ages 60 and

older was based upon the tours

competition points standings.

HENDERSON, Nev. - Team

USA's Bill O'Neill successfully

defended his men's singles title at

the 2013 World Tenpin Bowling

Association World Championships.

O'Neill defeated Germany's

Bodo Konieczny, 228-192, to win

the gold medal at Sunset Station's

Strike Zone Bowling Center.

Sweden's Martin Larsen and

Korea's Shin Seung-Hyeon shared

the bronze medals after losing in

the semifinals.

In the gold-medal match, O'Neill

got off to a quick start and built an

early lead, relieving the pressure

of having to perform down the

stretch. By the time he reached the

final frame, O'Neill just needed

eight pins on his final shot and

tossed a strike.

"I didn't think I would make the

medal round halfway through the

day," said O'Neill, who bowled a

300 in the final game of qualifying

to make the medal round. "It was

quite a different experience this time

around, but I'll certainly take it."

Even though he lost in the final

match, Konieczny was all smiles

after earning the silver medal. He

helped lead Germany to bronze

medals in doubles and team at the

last World Championships in 2010

in Munich, Germany.

"We earned a couple bronze

medals in 2010 at the World

Championships, but I wanted to

make this year even better," said

Konieczny, who also shot a 300 in

qualifying. "This is my first time

visiting America, so to bowl a 300

game and win a silver medal is a

dream come true for me."

In the semifinals, O'Neill defeated

Shin, 181-155, in a low-scoring

match, while Konieczny knocked

off Larsen, 209-183, in easy fashion.

Korea's Ryu Seo-Yeon won the

women's singles title. Ryu defeat-

ed Chinese Taipei spinner Wang

Ya-Ting in the gold-medal match,

224-182, Mariana Ayala of Puerto

Rico and Huang Chiung-Yao of

Chinese Taipei shared the bronze.

For the host country the United

States, Missy Parkin was the high

finisher in 23rd place with a six-

game total of 1,212.

What

?

2 SPORTS REPORTER August 28 - September 3, 2013

Pins and puns.

Two people, one a struggling professional bowler, won a million

dollars in a lottery. When asked what they were going to do with all

the money, the first happily described how he was going to quit

work at once, spend a lot of time fishing and playing golf, take life

easy, and live on the new found wealth. The bowler scratched his

head, thought a bit, then answered, "I guess I'll just keep bowlingon the tour until the money is all gone."

The reason many bowlers fail is because they keep trying to teach

the other bowler when they should be teaching themselves. And

that's why bowling instruction is cheap. The supply exceeds the

demand. For every bowler, there are two instructors.

Any tournament director will quickly tell you that most bowlers

are honest. Then why do they have so Many strict rules? Easy

answer .To keep the bowlers honest.

Nothing shortens a long bowling story as quickly as the unexpect-

ed arrival of the bowler who unknowingly was the central figure of

the former long story.

You don't have to learn where all the bad spots or bad areas are

on a bowling lane. Just learn where the good ones are.

The nightmare that haunts all top bowlers is that their last big

game will be their last big game.

Eventually there will be a bowler's head on some mountain ---

Even if they are forced to enlarge the mountain --- or shrink the

head.

Bowling points to ponder.

If it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, then don't bother to

keep score.

An optimist is a person who starts building a 5 million dollar bowl-

ing center with a mere 5 million dollars.

Wouldn't it be nice if some of the self-professed experts on pro

bowling and pro tournaments took in a pro tournament more than

once a year or so?

In some bowling centers everything works when it comes to scor-

ing. In others, nothing works. And that's why averages from place

to place can vary as much as 40 points.

One thing you can still get cheaply is that extra frame of bowling

you thought the deskman wouldn't notice.Who is in worse shape than the bowler-golfer who shoots in the

130s in both sports?

A bowler can usually tell how good his reputation is by how diffi-

cult it is for him to live up to it.

in most sports the spectator is fulfilled through identification with

the player in action rather than through the action.

That helps watchers feel like they are doers. In bowling, people are

doers, in the action, and they can also be watchers, so they gain from

both acftvities.

I still can't get over the sight of a bowler pulling up to a tourna-

ment site in a $300 car, and then unloading $3,000 worth of bowl-

ing equipment.

ARLINGTON, Texas -

Starting August 1, 2014, the

high score awards given to

United States Bowling

Congress adult members for a

300 game, 800 series or 900

series will become once-in-a-

lifetime awards. This change

comes as part of USBC's strat-

egy to focus resources onnational governing body serv-

ices.

As part of the change to the

high score awards program,

any USBC member who

received an award in one of the

high score achievement cate-

gories as an adult prior to

August 1, 2014, will not

receive an award for that

achievement again.

"With this change, USBC

takes another meaningful step

toward our vision of redefining

the organization," USBCPresident Andrew Cain said. "I

want to clearly emphasize that

cost savings was only a small

factor in the board's decision-

making process approving the

change. This is primarily about

a philosophical shift to make

USBC membership about sup-

porting and protecting the

sport.

"The board believes this

adjustment to the high score

awards program provides a

good balance of preserving an

organizational tradition whilemoving toward USBC's vision

for the future."

The 11-in-a-row award also

will be eliminated as part of the

changes. All 300 games and

800 series at the USBC Open

and Women's Championships

will continue to be recognized

and are not considered part of

the once-in-a-lifetime policy.

"Given that more than 50,000

certified perfect games are

rolled in a typical season, the

board agrees it is unnecessary

for the national governing bodyto provide awards for near per-

fection with the 11-in-a-row,"

Cain said. "We also believe

special recognition is appropri-

ate at USBC Championships,

since these prestigious events

are conducted in special venues

on uniquely challenging condi-

tions."

Associations still will be

required to submit 300 game,

800 series or 900 series

achievements so the bowler's

record can be updated with

each accomplishment. The 11-in-a-row achievement will not

be recognized at the national

level effective August 1, 2014.

Members who already have

received once-in-a-lifetime

recognition for a high score

will have the ability to pur-

chase additional awards for

subsequent high score achieve-

ments.

Sport Bowling awards will

remain unchanged for the

2014-2015 season, with the

exception of the elimination of

the 11-in-a-row award.
