Honors Bowlers Page 7 Simonsen & Warren Win U.S. Open Entries By Dino Castillo, Guest Writer This week we take a look at the Best of the Best of Best. Jason Belmonte: Jason is still searching for a U.S. Open title. He finished second in Columbus, Ohio falling to Wes Malott. He is having one of the best runs in bowling right now. One little fact that most people don’t know or realize, Jason is deadly accurate. Two-handed and accurate? That makes him the odds on favorite. Chris Barnes: Just recently, we got hit with some tough news. Chris, 2005 U.S. Open champ, will be undergoing back surgery and may be FORT WORTH - In the first stairstep match at Cityview Lanes in Fort Worth, September 27, the Detonators team of Fred Barnes, TJ Johnson and Mark Busscher qualified 4th and lost 218-215 to the 5th place qualifying Intrigues (Bill Keenan, Kerry Fulford and Bob Troutt). The Intrigues then lost the second match 244-194 to the Wild Things (Bob McGregor, Mike Warren and Phil Kepner). In the 3rd match, the Rampage team of Willie Wells, Donald Robinson and Cordell Wilder stayed clean and beat the Wild Things 215-212.

The Open tournament also saw Shawn Maldonado’s four consecutive tournament win streak come to an end as the Houston two-handed player finished fifth. Bailey, who finished the 21-game tournament with a 7-1 match play record and 5,240 total pins, started the final position round match with a 55-pin lead over amateur Eric Traylor of Friendswood, Texas, and his 243-216 win over Traylor clinched his $2,500 first place check. Also in position round, Andy Patterson from Tyler, Texas, defeated Anthony Simonsen of Princeton, Texas, Continued on Page 4 The 20th Annual Teen Masters Tournament promises to be the best ever; and one of the first qualifying rounds for the 2016 National Championship Finals will be held in the dynamic city of Frisco, future home of the Dallas Cowboys in North Texas. Frisco’s Strikz Entertainment Center will host the event. Saturday and Sunday October 24-25, youth bowlers can test their skills in the only youth tournament where a level playing field is guaranteed. All contestants in the High School and the 14 and Under Divisions are required to use two specially made Teen Masters PBA Skill balls during competition, and lane oil pattern will comply with exact TM conditions designed by Kegel to emphasize individual mental and physical ability rather than the size of a bowler’s arsenal. “This event is about what Frisco, TX you can do with a bowling ball rather than just having the right ball in your hand at the right time,” PBA Deputy Commissioner Kirk Von Krueger told the Bowling News Network in a recent interview. Von Krueger also serves as the Teen Masters Tournament Director for the TM National Finals. Teen Masters founder and promoter Gary Beck is very excited to launch his 20th annual season in Frisco. The event has Continued on Page 9 Page 2 | Thursday, October 8, 2015 | THE BOWLING NEWS Random Thoughts Tony Franklin, Publisher Well its official folks…its playoff time in Texas. That’s right, the Texas Rangers have won the AL West and will be travelling to Toronto to face the Blue Jays in the first round of the playoffs. I’m super excited and super shocked all at the same time. If you recall, and I’m sure you don’t, but I predicted the Rangers would win 76 games, they finished with 88 thanks to some stellar play to end the season. The DFW area has seen some of the strangest happenings in local sports in the last year. 2014-15 Cowboys looked terrible and were easily on target to win 5 games, but somehow finished with 12 wins and made the playoffs. 2015 Rangers looked terrible and were easily on target for 60 wins, but somehow finish with 88 wins and make the playoffs. 2015-16 Cowboys looked great going into the season and were easily on target for 11 wins, but Romo goes down along with everyone else, and are suddenly looking at 5 wins again. You know what I know… nothing. I know who does know WALK OF FAME am just going to concentrate shot by shot.” I asked him his thoughts on not knowing the pattern until practice day. He said, “I don’t bother with that. I am not going in with a preconceived notion of how the pattern will play. I build my ideas on practice day and go from there.” Tommy Jones: Another former U.S. Open champion who won the title in 2006. Tommy has had his struggles. Tommy went five years without winning in the U.S. until earlier this year, he won the Bear Open at the Summer Swing in Oklahoma. The Bear Continued from Page 1 sidelined for this event. Most of the bowlers are praying to the bowling gods he will not bowl. If he does, look out. He will be on a vengeance and looking for blood. Bill O’Neill: Bill, 2010 U.S. Open champ, is on a great run right now as well. Winning this event would make him a solid front-runner for Player of the Year. I talked to Bill about the POY and he said, “It definitely weighs on my mind, but I don’t let it affect me.

He predicted the Rangers with 93 wins and a World Series title on the strength of a Prince Fielder home run. And while they didn’t win 93, they sure could of, and they’re still alive for that Fielder home run to win it all. I don’t know where he keeps his crystal ball, but he has clear vision with it. As for our other prognosticators on the baseball season, only Genie and Karleen Reynolds were even remotely close, as they guessed 80 wins. Well, the good news is we’re going to get to sit back and enjoy the Rangers ride!!! Open pattern coincidentally is the U.S. Open pattern replica. Tommy likes them tough. And the U.S. Open is the toughest around. Tommy says, “I try not to get ahead of myself. I will try to work my way into things and let them fall into place. Focus on the task, not on the prize.” Pete Weber: He has won this event a million times. No matter what pattern or format, all he does is win. Pete is the ageless wonder when it comes to this event. He turns on a dial and bad ass kicks in. He has not been available for comment, but last I heard he said, “Who do you think you are? I am!” Wes Malott: Since his knee surgery, he has become Bionic Man. Wes is the defending champion for this event. It’s hard enough to win this event, but to defend is borderline impossible. Wes knows he has a target on his back. Until he is knocked off the pedestal, he is the man to beat. Sean Rash: Sean hasn’t fared well in this event. He has yet to make a U.S. Open show. I talked to him and he said he has searched long and hard for his inner demon and plans to bring it out. I don’t know if that makes him the deadliest or the weakest. Either way, he is still one of the best.

Barnes is expecting to be on at least a two month hiatus from bowling if not three. He said that he’s not sure exactly where the condition came from, “I was bowling a lot more after hurting my groin early in the year. The pain is marginal; the real issue is weakness in the right leg. It’s mush.” The good news for Barney is that he found a great doctor and he’s getting it treated quickly. Best of luck on a speedy recovery!!! At Cowtown Bowling Palace Continued from Page 1 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 6003, Frisco, TX 75035-6003 Good luck to the red shoed Rangers, let’s give it to the Jays. x-x-x-x-x-x Chris Barnes had back surgery on Tuesday, or more specifically Microdiscectomy surgery. The same surgery that Tony Romo had in 2013. Dr. Andrew Dossett is the Dr. performing the procedure on Barnes, which just so happens to be the same Dr. that worked on Romo. Dossett has very strong ties to area sports teams, working with several as a spine consultant. That’s not his only sports tie though, he was recruited by USC as a Linebacker and played and Joe Lecroy) had two opens and no doubles to lose 212-183 to the tournament winning Rampage. It was the 5th SASBA titles for Willie and Donald and the 4th for Cordell. Thanks to David Hickman and staff for being gracious hosts. There were no 300s this week. There were two 299s.

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, October 8, 2015 | Page 5 PBA Spare Shots CHRIS BARNES TO UNDERGO BACK SURGERY, WITHDRAWS FROM PBA FALL CLASSIC Eighteen-time PBA Tour champion Chris Barnes, 45, of Double Oak, Texas, has withdrawn from the South Point PBA Fall Classic and will undergo back surgery next week in Dallas to repair a herniated disc. “Nothing specific happened,” Barnes said, noting an extensive schedule of competition in Korea, PBA Southwest Regional competition and with Team USA in recent weeks aggravated the condition. “The last time I got off the plane, it hurt all the way down to my shoes,” Barnes said. “The pain part is manageable, but I just don’t have any strength in my right leg, so it’s time to get it fixed.” Barnes said the “discectomy” involves trimming a portion of the disk that’s leaning on the nerve to alleviate the pain. “It’s the same thing (Dallas Cowboys quarterback) Tony Romo had done and it’ll be done by the same doctor, Barnes noted. “Recovery time is a guess at this point, but I’d think the (GEICO PBA) World Series (of Bowling VII) is very much a long shot at this point.” Barnes was scheduled to bowl in the PBA Fall Classic PBA Team Challenge with the 4 POY & A Nice Run team along with fellow past/current PBA Players of the Year Jason Belmonte, Tommy Jones and Wes Malott and frequent POY contender Bill O’Neill. Barnes also was paired with Jones for the Mark Roth-Marshall Holman PBA Doubles Championship. His replacement for both events has not yet been announced. PBA ANNOUNCES CHRIS PAUL FAMILY FOUNDATION CELEBRITY INVITATIONAL DATE The PBA has announced the seventh Chris Paul Family Foundation PBA Celebrity Invitational will be held on Thursday, Jan. 7, at a site to be determined in Los Angeles. The annual fundraiser to benefit the NBA superstar’s foundation will be televised on ESPN on a delayed basis on Sunday, Feb. 28 at 1 p.m. ET. In addition to the four major championships recently announced, the PBA has confirmed the dates for several additional tournaments that will be covered exclusively by Xtra Frame, PBA’s online bowling channel.

PBA, PWBA-PBA WOMEN’S REGIONAL CHALLENGE QUALIFYING FIELDS SET… ALMOST Seven domestic PBA Region- al competition points leaders, and six of seven PWBA-PBA Women’s Regional points leaders, have been decided for the PBA Challenge qualifying events that will be conducted during the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling VII in Reno in December. Each of the points leaders also receives a paid entry to compete in the World Series itself. While qualifying in the regional program ended on Sept. 30, the PWBA-PBA Women’s East Region points race received a one-week extension because of an earlier date conflict with the PWBA Tour schedule. Therefore, the Maple City Dodge PWBA East Open presented by 900 Global in Hornell, N.Y., this weekend will decide the East Region’s women’s champion. Heading into the event, six women are mathematically in the running: points leader Danielle McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., and challengers Kerry Smith of Lititz, Pa.; Stephanie Casey of Yonkers, N.Y.; Colombian native Rocio Restropo of Louisville, Ky.; Amanda Greene of Romney, W.Va., and Liz Kuhlkin of Rotterdam, N.Y. While she’s still in the race in the East, Restropo has already won her spot in Reno as the PBA Central Region’s women’s points leader. The other PBA Regional players who have punched their tickets to WSOB VII and the PBA Challenge qualifying events are as follows: East Region – Patrick Allen, Mount Kisco, N.Y.; women’s winner to be determined. South Region – Tom Daugherty, Wesley Chapel, Fla.; Elise Bolton, Merritt Island, Fla. Central Region – Patrick Dombrowski, Parma, Ohio; Rocio Restrepo, Louisville, Ky. Midwest Region – Mitch Beasley, Clarksville, Tenn.; Inngellimar Beasley, Clarksville, Tenn. Southwest Region – Nathan Bohr, Austin, Texas; Clara Guerrero, Pflugerville, Texas. West Region – Josh Blanchard, Gilbert, Ariz.; Missy Parkin, Laguna Hills, Calif. Northwest Region – Scott Norton, Mission Viejo, Calif.; April Lord Wittig, Steilacoom, Wash. Japan Region – to be announced. Also earning berths in the World Series as the PBA50 Tour’s 2015 points leaders are Pete Weber, St. Ann, Mo.; Mike Scroggins, Amarillo, Texas; Parker Bohn III, Jackson, N.J.; Walter Ray Williams Jr., Oxford, Fla.; Amleto Monacelli, Venezuela; Brian LeClair, Fulton, N.Y.; Jack Jurek, Lackawanna, N.Y., and Bob Learn Jr., Erie, Pa. The PBA Regional and PBA50 qualifiers will bowl an eight-game, round-robin match play event at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno on Monday, Dec. 7. To avoid a conflict with the World Bowling Women’s World Championships Dec. 5-14 in UAE, the PWBAPBA Women’s Regional match play qualifier will be held on Friday, Dec. 18. In all three events, the top two players after eight games will advance to the PBA Challenge Finals which will be contested on Saturday, Dec. 19, for telecast on ESPN on Sunday, Jan. 24, at 3 p.m. ET. The PBA Challenge Finals telecast also will include the Teen Masters Grand Championship match between 2015 boys’ and girls’ division winners Brandon Soedarmasto of Levittown, N.Y., and Brigitte Jacobs of Freeport, Ill.

DALLAS - The Dallas USBC Youth Association recently held its City High Award Presentation Ceremony to honor the boys and girls who in their respective age divisions bowled the highest series or game during the 2014-15 bowling season. These scores were bowled in Dallas USBC Youth Association league competition or Association sponsored tournaments. Divisions are based on the bowler’s age on 8/1/2014 as follows: Bantams - ages 8 and under, Preps – age 9-11, Juniors – ages 12-14, Majors – 15 and older. In all, 16 bowlers were honored for their accomplishments. This is just a small representation of the many wonderfully talented youth bowlers in the Dallas area. We are proud of each of these bowlers, and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the coming year. We are also grateful to the centers that support and encourage our youth bowlers. These youth bowlers are the ones who will be keeping the sport of bowling going in the future.

Page 10 | Thursday, October 8, 2015 | THE BOWLING NEWS Just Paying Attention By Mark London Mark@TheBowlingNews.net Books about knocking down ten wooden objects that weigh thirty-five pounds, placed in triangles, continue to make themselves known in the literary world. In a recent interview on ‘The Bowlers Show’, Bowlers Journal International editor Gianmarc Manzione disclosed his critically-acclaimed book, ‘’Pin Action’’, is being readied for a paperback release by publisher Pegasus Books in February. That wasn’t the biggest news about the book. Gold Circle Films has optioned the book, which means they are looking into the possibility of making it into a full-length feature movie. Gold Circle Films is the same film company that released ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’, ‘White Noise’, and the recent ‘Pitch Perfect’ series. They specialize in romantic and horror films. Knowing how movie options work, it could be a couple of years or longer before we have to worry about who gets a red carpet invitation for the premiere. I can tell you if it’s sooner, seeing Ernie and Cathy Schlegel on a red carpet at a movie premiere would be a one-of-a-kind photo op. ############### Another book about New York City’s action bowling scene has hit bookstores. “Redemption Alley: How I Lived To Bowl Another Frame,” a second version of Bob Perry’s life and times was released last week. This story is a little more grim and dark then Manzione’s “Pin Action” story of Ernie Schlegel. The book was picked up by Rodale Press, details Bob Perry and his life as a young action bowler, his mob ties, numerous vices, time in federal prison, spending several years living homeless, then finding salvation living clean and sober of the last two-plus decades. Also detailed into the salvation was winning the 1997 Super Bowl High Roller, featuring his type of parlay, action bowling. ################ Manzione covered a wide variety of topics on this appearance on ‘The Bowlers Show.’ Among the highlights was a reference to the peaks and valleys of the bowling business and industry over the years He referred to a series of articles at bowlersjournal.com by retired BJI publisher Mort Luby, Jr. “One of the things he explains is the cyclical nature of bowling’s struggles over time. There were times forty, fifty, or sixty years ago things seemed just as bummed out as they have seen of late. The bowling industry has always bounced back. The funny thing is each generation experiences the bowling world at its lowest point thinks that we’re never coming back from this, but historically, it always has. The key to the success now may be the Olympic run, being one of the final eight sports for inclusion into the 2020 Games,” said Manzione. Lane Laughter He also believed a 2020 Olympic appearance would bring a previously unknown surge to the industry. “Sponsorship comes in, coaches have jobs, coaches who should have had jobs will have an easier time finding work because there will be a demand for their services. There will be an interest in building training centers around the world, which is good for capital equipment companies. There is just so many different ways in which that can be such a huge boon for bowling,” concluded the Bowlers Journal International editor. But now, who knows when this scenario will play out. But as pointed out by World Bowling President Kevin Dornberger in a Bowlers Journal podcast with Manzione Monday September 28, first time sports appearing on that eight-sport short list have yet to make it in on the first try. Also remember, this decision was the preference of the Tokyo Olympic Committee. The International Olympic Committee will render its decision of those five sports in August 2016. But it’s always good to dream. Just dust ourselves off and bust down that door next time. ################## Finally this week, a bittersweet thought on the passing of an American sporting institution, Yogi Berra. Like many name athletes in the early 1960’s, he owned a bowling center. Along with fellow Yankee Hall of Famer Phil Rizzuto, they owned Rizzuto-Berra Lanes, known later as Astro Bowl in Clifton, New Jersey. It closed in 1999 when the land was sold to a developer. The center may have gotten a sweetheart deal when Berra did an ad for a new device known as AMF MagicScore. For this week’s JPA Lost Classic, we head back to 1977 as Yogi pitches the brand new computer system Oddly, I found myself waiting for a classic Yogi phrase, but sadly, it wasn’t there.

James Edward Hostler “Hoss” of Richardson, Texas was born February 26, 1928 and passed away peacefully at his home on September 5, 2015. James was born in Dallas to parents James and Margaret Hostler. As a lifelong resident of Dallas, James graduated from Adamson High School in 1945. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1945 through 1946. James married Betty Sims in 1951 and shared 64 wonderful years together traveling, raising their two daughters and enjoying every sport and activity their four grandchildren were involved in. James became very active in the American Junior Bowling Congress in 1961. He served on all committees and offices of the American Junior Bowling Congress for over 20 years including 9 years as President. He was a dedicated junior bowling coach and received many awards for his service including the “Meritorious Service Award” from the Dallas Junior Bowling Association in JUST PAYING ATTENTION Continued from Page 10 something you would never see now. But there was a catch. We were cleared to sit in the Pirate dugout, but not the visitors unless the opposing manager said so. That was New York Mets manager Yogi Berra, whom we had heard upon our arrival didn’t allow such things too often. About an hour before the first pitch, Berra granted permission only if we were to sit at the far end of the dugout, with the trainer and pitchers not in the bullpen. Losing the coin flip to see where I would begin my night, I sat in the Met dugout the first five innings, then the Pirate dugout for the rest of the game. Got quizzed about where I lived, telling the trainer it was in the town next to Beaver Falls, home to another pretty well known athlete at the time, Joe Namath. Then after a jacketed pitcher said, “Hey, Pee Wee, move down a little,” I knew it wasn’t starting pitcher Jerry Koosman, or the previous night’s starter Jon Matlack. I looked up and saw it was Tom Seaver. He had just won his second Cy Young Award and would win a third the next year, taking a big step to Cooperstown. But being eleven years of age, you don’t think about stuff like taking a pen or grabbing a spare ball to ask for an autograph. Nonetheless, a young boy had the night of his young life, with permission granted by Mr. Lawrence Peter Berra. Rest In Peace, Yogi. 1982. James was also active in the Dallas Bowling Association. He served on all committees and offices and was the President of the Dallas Bowling Association from 1972 through 1973. In 2006 James was elected Vice President of the Southern Bowling Congress which oversaw sanctioned events in 9 Southern states. James was elected President of the Southern Bowling Congress and held that position from 2008 through 2009. James received his highest honor in 2012 when he was inducted into the Southern Bowling Congress Hall of Fame at a ceremony just for him in Fort Smith, Arkansas. His entire family made the trip to watch him receive this honor from his “bowling family” of many years. His grandson told him from now on he should sign his name “James Hostler, HOF”. After retiring from a career with Storbeck & Gregory as a metal lathe and plasterer, James realized he was a natural golfer and enjoyed playing regularly with his buddies. They would play during the week when they could get the “senior discount”. He even made a hole in one at Texoma Golf Club. James was also very artistic and enjoyed making concrete sculptures, stepping stones and walkways at his home. James and Betty loved traveling together and enjoying the beautiful scenery in Colorado, Banff and Hawaii, as well as taking cruises to Alaska, the Panama Canal, New England James Hostler - “Hoss” and Europe. They also enjoyed many adventurous trips to Mexico and Colorado with their children and grandchildren to snorkel and snow ski. James is preceded in death by his parents, James and Margaret Hostler of Dallas and his sister, Donella McHugh of Corpus Christi. He is survived by his wife, Betty, daughters Kathy Anderson and husband Sam of Murphy, Judy Hostler and fiance Mike Walker of Plano, grandchildren Katie Parks and husband Nick of Nashville, Greg Anderson and wife Amy of Houston, Stacey Shropshire and fiance Ryan Andrews of Ft. Worth, Bradley Anderson of San Marcos, and sister Nancy Senter and husband Charles of Dallas. A memorial service to celebrate his life was held at St. Barnabas Presbyterian Church.
