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.

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.
