I’ve got a lot of guys who have been trying to help. (PBA leg- end) Mark Roth has been telling me, stop being so nice. Go beat people, so tonight I just decided to go for it. I was a lot more aggressive than I have been.” Against Pedersen, Jurek’s only major mistake was leaving a 2-4-8-10 split in the fourth frame, but oth- erwise he was nearly perfect. “Jack was due,” Pedersen said. “He’s been bowling really well. After he left the 2-4-8-10 (in the fifth frame), I was wondering if the old Jack was going to show up or the new one.

HAMMOND, Ind. – Jack Jurek of Lackawanna,

N.Y., who has endured a series of bad breaks in his

quest for his first PBA50 Tour title, made a break-

through when he struck on eight of his first nine shots

to defeat PBA Hall of Famer Randy Pedersen of

Clermont, Fla., 242-205, in the title match of the

PBA50 South Shore Open at Olympia Lanes.

“It’s never an easy battle out here,” Jurek said. “I’ve

won a couple of Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Awards

because I’ve lost a lot of times in title matches and

people think I’m a nice guy.”

Jurek, who had disappointing losses in Dayton,

Ohio, a week earlier after losing a crushing loss to

Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. earlier in the

year in the USBC Senior Masters title match, came

into the finale in Hammond with a fresh attitude,

thanks in part to some advice he got from Pedersen,

his traveling roommate.

“(Randy) and I talked a little after my debacle in

Dayton and he gave me some thoughts about how he

approaches things,” Jurek said. “It helped. I’ve got a

lot of guys who have been trying to help. (PBA leg-

end) Mark Roth has been telling me, stop being so

nice. Go beat people, so tonight I just decided to go

for it. I was a lot more aggressive than I have been.”

Against Pedersen, Jurek’s only major mistake was

leaving a 2-4-8-10 split in the fourth frame, but oth-

erwise he was nearly perfect.

“Jack was due,” Pedersen said. “He’s been bowling

really well. After he left the 2-4-8-10 (in the fifth

frame), I was wondering if the old Jack was going to

show up or the new one. He persevered.”

Thousands of grassroots league

bowlers – men, women, seniors

and especially kids – have treas-

ured memories of bowling in PBA

Pro-Am events, where they team

up with PBA stars and stars-to-be.

But few pro-am bowlers have ever

had an experience quite like the

one six-year-old Brianna Archabal

had during the PBA Boise

West/Northwest Open at 20th

Century Lanes in Boise, Idaho, on

July 25.

The daughter of former PBA

Regional player Scot Archabal was

bowling on the same pair of lanes

with 2013 PBA Regional Finals

champ Ben Laughlin of Chandler,

Ariz., who started his game with 11

strikes. Laughlin then told Brianna

that he gets very nervous when he’s

so close to bowling a 300 game,

and asked her if she’d throw the

last ball for him.

She did…and she struck…and

the crowd went wild.

“Anyone who has kids had tears

in their eyes,” wrote Christian

Ashcraft, who also was bowling on

the same pair of lanes. “I don’t

have any way to thank Ben person-

ally for making that little girl’s day,

but I really appreciate what he did.”

Some of the things that make

bowling so great are also the

things that make it one of the most

complicated competitive sports for

outsiders to understand.

For instance, in most sports

there is a somewhat cut and dried

legal line dividing amateurs from

pros. In most cases, it is tied to

money earnings. Simply put, if

you make money in a sport, or try

to make money competing in a

sport, you are a pro. If you don't

accept money or valuable and

high costing merchandise prizes,

then you are an amateur.

In bowling that distinction is

based on whether you're a mem-

ber of a professional bowling

organization or on some vague

guidelines as to what constitutes a

professional. Ability means noth-

ing. Earnings mean next to noth-

ing. So we have a situation where-

by an amateur can win $100,000,

or even a million, and for all prac-

tical purposes, remain an ama-

teur.

On the other side you have the

professionals. It isn't the most dif-

ficult task to become a member of

a pro bowling organization. They

are many pros that don't win

$1,000 in a year, and there are

some who don't win $100.

Still, many tournament promot-

ers and many organizations in the

sport bar pros of any sort. There

are many, many big money win-

ning so-called amateurs with more

than adequate professional ability.

And there more than enough on

paper pros.

So where does all this put bowl-

ing? It puts us on the top rung of

confusion, with an A in misunder-

standing, and highest honors in

nonstandardization, inexplicable

rules, and undefinable regulations.

There was a day when most

bowlers, within their average

range class, wanted to bowl with

and against the best, and so sought

competition a bit higher than their

level. Today, a host of top level,

pro ability bowlers won't join a

pro group because that will bar

them from certain tournaments.

So they stay as non-pros, and often

are rewarded because much of

their top level competition is

barred.

Man is a competitive animal,

and so are bowlers, but they aren't

stupid it's always easier to take the

easy way out and in many cases

bowling makes that possible.

It could be that the easy way for

bowlers is also the easier way for

league and tournament promoters

do what you must, to gain the

most participants, including easy

scoring and all forms of bowling

gambling.

It could be that bowling man-

ages to survive with many bowlers

who are just looking for a few

hours of diversion to get away

from something and really aren't

into bowling, but are into what the

bowling atmosphere can provide,

some fun, some mixing, some

recreation, some exercise, and

some escape.

But the lasting and stick-to-it

appeal of the game must be in

bowlers wanting to learn more

about the sport, wanting to

improve, and wanting to be com-

petitive, and that doesn't mean

just for big money.

Earl Anthony was just as com-

petitively shooting for a two-inch

high trophy as he is when he's

going for $100,000. And there are

bowlers of all averages who are

just as competitive as Anthony.

What does it all mean? It means

that bowling must first and fore-

most be a sport. It means that

there must be a second and third

look at the rules governing junior,

high school, college, amateur and

pro bowlers. it means we must

uncomplicate our most complicat-

ed areas as soon as possible.

AT ROCKVILLE CENTRE

LONG POND, PA – Two of

America's great past times, racing

and bowling, came together as

GoBowling.com served as title

sponsor for the NASCAR Sprint

Cup Series race at Pocono

Raceway. The race was won by

Dale Earnhardt Jr, his third victo-

ry of the season and the 21st of

his career, and his first season

sweep at a track since Talladega

Superspeedway in 2002.

The race honored both the

GoBowling.com 400 and the 40th

anniversary of the raceway's first

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event

where Richard Petty drove the

STP Oil Treatment car and became

the inaugural winner of the

Pennsylvania 500 on August 4,

1974. To celebrate the moment,

Petty returned to Pocono Raceway

to serve as Grand Marshal.

Additionally, in a tribute to both

the great sport of bowling and

Petty himself, Richard Petty

Motorsports (RPM)'s Aric

Almirola drove the No. 43 Ford

Fusion, which featured an eye

catching bowling themed paint

scheme and GoBowling.com

branding.

"This weekend was a deeply

meaningful opportunity to relive

the excitement of that first victory

at the Pocono Raceway in 1974,"

said Petty. "This was a weekend of

fun and excitement, and also an

opportunity to shine attention on

two great sports that bring people

together, create wonderful memo-

ries, and are Americana at its best

- racing and bowling."

For the second consecutive year,

the race was renamed the

GoBowling.com 400 and featured

the branded GoBowling.com No.

43 Ford Fusion. Additionally,

Pocono Raceway, RPM and Strike

Ten Entertainment initiated a

multi-layered integrated market-

ing campaign that spanned tradi-

tional, digital and social channels,

and included event activations.

"The incredible resurgence in

popularity that bowling has seen

in recent years is reflected in the

success of the GoBowling.com

400," said John Harbuck, Interim

President of Strike Ten

Entertainment. "We were thrilled

to once again partner with the

great teams at Pocono Raceway

and Richard Petty Motorsports,

and I'm proud to say that we set

the bar even higher with this year's

race."

Pocono Raceway, also known as

"The Tricky Triangle," is family-

owned and situated in the beauti-

ful Pocono Mountains of

Pennsylvania. In business for

more than 50 years, the Raceway

hosts multiple, national motor-

sports events including two

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, one

Verizon IndyCar Series, one

NASCAR Camping World Truck

Series, two ARCA Racing Series

presented by Menards and one

Indy Lights Series presented by

Cooper Tires events each year.

The Raceway has added multiple

running series events to their

annual schedule including the

Tough Mudder and the Warrior

Dash. Pocono Raceway is the

world's largest solar-powered

ing the energy needs of the

tricity to the local power grid. For

THE MAGIC AT MAJESTIC

In the first semifinal round between a pair of PBA

Hall of Famers, Pedersen defeated Pete Weber of St.

Ann, Mo., 267-226, putting a crimp in Weber’s hopes

to overtake fellow PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke in

the 2014 PBA50 Player of the Year race. That battle

will be decided in the PBA50 Tour’s season finale in

Welch, Minn.

Duke, who leads the race with 56 points, failed to

add to his total in Hammond when he was eliminated

in the Round of 8. Weber picked up four points for

finishing fourth to increase his total to 48 heading

into Welch, Minn. Tom Baker of King, N.C., also

remains in contention with 44 points. In the Player of

the Year competition, 16 points will be awarded to the

tournament winner, the runner-up gets eight points,

third-place is worth four points and the fourth-place

finisher earns two points.

In the second semifinal match, Jurek, a PBA50

Tour rookie and two-time PBA Tour title winner,

used a string of nine strikes to defeat Canadian John

Chapman, 267-206. For Chapman, who was trying

for his first PBA50 title, it was his highest finish as a

senior player.

The most dramatic match of the tournament came

in the best-of-five-game Round of 16 when Chapman

eliminated Duke, 3-2. After Duke jumped out to a 2-

0 lead, Chapman rallied to win the last three games,

247-234, 231-224 and 248-247.

Mason Janzen

Hit 300 at SpartaBy Joan Taylor

SPARTA, NJ - Mason Janzen, 17,

saw his first perfect game after

only 3 years of bowling. This was

at Sparta Lanes in the junior schol-

arship league. He used an older

ball that he father bought used.

Hey, whatever works!

There are 2 punch lines for this

story: the first is that his average

then was around 152 and the sec-

ond is that he bowled his big game

against his sister, Justina, 15. “She

was happy for me,” he said.

(Update: Joe Janzen just mes-

saged that Mason had a 298 game

this week)

Three years ago Mason tried out

for his school’s basketball team

and didn’t qualify. His friend,

Ryan Scholz wanted to bowl so

Mason joined a league with him.

He is in one winter league, bowl-

ing for Walkill Valley Regional

High School.
