Hornell, N.Y. Brian LeClair of
Albany, N.Y., defeated Rick
Graham of Lancaster, Pa., 222-
169, to win the Professional
Bowlers Association East
Regional Players Invitational pre-
sented by Maple City Dodge
Sunday, concluding two days of
live Xtra Frame coverage from
Maple City Bowl.LeClair, 48, earned $6,000, a
paid entry into the PBA World
Series of Bowling V in Las Vegas
in late October and a berth in a
new PBA RPI Finals which will
be televised on ESPN. The
regional title was LeClairs 15th.
This is the biggest win Ive
ever had, LeClair said. Ive
never won anything that is this
special. Its been more than 10
years since Ive last bowled on
television and I never thought Id
be bowling on ESPN again.
Ive won at least one title in
each of the past five years, he
added, but when you are 48years old, you never know if
youre going to ever win again. I
like bowling on tougher condi-
tions and I love it when I get a
chance to bowl on wood lanes.
LeClair defeated Ryan
Ciminelli of Cheektowaga, N.Y.
in the semifinal round, 215-203,
by throwing the first strike in the
10th frame.
LeClair had already entered
this years PBA World Series of
Bowling V and admitted this
would probably be his last time at
the World Series, but if I do
well, you never know.
The East Region RPI was thefifth in a series of six PBA
Regional championship events.
The combined PBA
West/Northwest Regions will
host their RPI event at the
Nationa l Bowling Stadium in
Reno, Nev. the weekend of Oct.
18-20. Each RPI winner will
advance to the PBA RPI Finals
that will be taped for delayed air-
ing on ESPN as part of the World
Series of Bowling V at South
Point Casino, Hotel and Bowling
Center, Oct. 26-Nov. 3.
Each RPI is open to 48 players
who have qualified through a sea-
son-long points competition intheir respective regions, and each
RPI is being covered live from
start to finish on PBAs exclusive
bowling channel , Xtra Frame.

They said it well ---with
comments:
"The way I see it, if you
want the rainbow, you gotta
Put up with the rain.
---DOLLY PARTON ( Splits
and misses are as much a part
of the game as strikes and
spares)
"Anyone who doesn't believe
in miracles is not a realist."
---DAVID BEN GURION (
And thats why every bowler
of every average thinks about
rolling a 300 game, and aims
at the 7-10 split)
Instead of loving your ene-
mies, treat your friends a little
better."
---EDGAR WATSON HOWE(Like your teammates, league
and association officials and
bowling proprietors)
In all things, success
depends upon previous prepa-
rations, and without such
preparation there is sure to be
failure.
---CONFUCIOUS (Practice,
practice, practice)
I base most of my fashion
taste on what doesn't itch."---
GILDA RADNER ( Perfect
advice when selecting bowling
uniforms)
"If I were given the opportu-
nity to present a gift to the
next generation it would be
the ability for each individual
to learn to laugh at himself.
---CHARLES SCHULTZ
(And let's face it, bowling is a
funny game, even if it wasn't
meant to be)
"Advice is like snow: thesofter it falls, the longer it
dwells upon and the deeper it
sinks into the mind.
