Calif. Deaf Traveling League’s stop at AMF Bowling Square, President Ed Abakumoff announced that the league Secretary Treasurer Bob Taylor was hospitalized with a heart ailment and Andy Lorenzo was asked to sub for Taylor on Taylor’s team. Also that all our prayers are for his speedy recovery and Taylor may be home on Tuesday to resume his work. With all bowlers concerned about both Taylor’s health and the unexpected dry back ends of Bowling Square lanes, the traveling league had its first bad scoring session last Sunday as Robert Audette rolled a 735 for four games to lead the low 6 men honor roll. Also Audette’s Chino team was the only one to hit a 2000 plus series with a 2013 including the day’s high team game 561. Audette’s series had 202-211 sandwiched with a pair of 161s, Abakumoff’s 720 had a different sandwich with 212 and 202 between 150 and 156 inside, Pablo Yoma had 706 while Paul Taffolla hit the day’s high game 224 and both Bob Bergan and Don Millwee hit a 213 each. Although no teams exchanged places in the standings with the league leader S.F. Valley losing 6-14 to 3rd place Chino, enabling Chino to move up within half point of 2nd place LA City which is now 10 points Friday behind Valley. With Halloween day theme, league Vice-President Sharon Caldwell treated the bowlers with her pumpkin pie squares and Pablo Yoma with lollipops. The league thanks the AMF Bowling Square November 26 @ 7:00 pm management staff for hosting and moves on to Del Rio Lanes on Sunday Nov. 7 with the leader S.F. Valley against Mid City, 2nd place LA City versus Lake Elsinore and 3rd place Chino goes Teams - Mix 5 against Riverside.

He hesitated in order to get more facts about her death but got none and felt that former deaf bowling great Donna Low First Come First Serve should be recognized with her accomplishments in deaf tournaments. Thrice married Donna Low, a daughter of deaf senior bowler Delores McCarty of Lurcene Val- ley, CA passed away on late Monday October 11, 2010 at age of 54. Donna had bowled in deaf leagues. Entry - $125.00 per Team When married to respected star bowler Gorman Low, Donna with 160 average joined the So. CA. Deaf Traveling League in the 1980s. As a respected competitor against the men in this scratch match play league she improved herself well enough to capture her first big title, the Pacific Coast $500.00 First Place Team Deaf Queens championship at South Bay Bowl in May 1982. Then later in July she made a trip to Edison, NJ to participate in the National Deaf Queens and surprisingly took that title too. Handicap - 90% of 230 For her feats of being the first bowler to win both prestigious titles in the same year made the Southern California Bowling Writers honor her with their Connie Marchione Award for Handi- A. 2009-2010 Book capped Bowler in their annual All-Stars Awards Banquet in 1983.

Billy Hardwick had a view from the top of the world the day he re- who to call. ceived the call that tore him to the ground. “Make sure big Lenny was there so when you go to the parking lot, Competing at the 1969 Japan Cup, where a year earlier he set a PBA you could get to your car. It was great,” Hardwick said of his former high record that stands to this day when he averaged 271 for eight games, school classmate—Phantom Radio’s Len Nicholson. “He’s 6-foot-3 and Hardwick already had won a PBA Player of the Year award and beaten 250 lbs., so I was safe with him because nobody would mess with him.” Dick Weber to win the inaugural Firestone Tournament of Champions in 1965. It might be true that nobody messed with “Big Lenny” in a bowl- ing alley parking lot, but the guy that nobody messed with on the lanes He would notch another record in 1969 by winning six titles that was Billy Hardwick. By 1969, Hardwick would rake in a single-season’s season alone, a feat topped only twice in the 41 years since, both times earnings of $64,160 ($381,659.34 in 2010 dollars). by Mark Roth (1978 & ‘79). One of the six happened to be a win at the U.S. Open that earned him the coveted triple crown of major tournament Like any young dreamer, though, Hardwick had lessons to learn and titles—the Firestone, the U.S. Open, and the PBA National Champion- lumps to take before he found the big time. ship. “The first year I lost my paycheck every week bowling for money,” All this despite an inability to straighten his arms due to rheumatoid Hardwick recalled in 1985. “A friend used to lend me 50 cents a day to arthritis, a doctor’s assurance that he would be “crippled by the age of get a pack of cigarettes and a cup of coffee.” 28,” and a childhood injury to the ring finger on his bowling hand that But it wasn’t always just his money Hardwick had to protect back left it almost totally inflexible. then—sometimes, it was his life. “I won my first Bowler of the Year with my index and middle finger,” Out of money and desperate after blowing his dough on a carnival Hardwick said of the grip for which he became known as “the boy with game at the San Mateo County Fair, Billy struck up some talk about the golden claw.” bowling with the fair worker that had just cleaned him out, telling him that he averaged a meager 145. Hardwick’s days of averaging 145 were Yes, Hardwick had a view from high above all that in 1969, a view as far behind him as his days of getting by on $1.65 an hour by that time. from which names that loomed large at the time—Weber, Zahn, Cart- But that was for Billy to know and for the other guy to find out. er—seemed to him no larger than pedestrians observed from the top of a hundred-story building. That’s how it was supposed to go, at least.

“If Carter and I put our foot up on the approach at the same time, hey, “We agreed to meet at Bel Mateo for some money matches when the week on tour in 1962, broke and beaten down—only to come back the I got there first. Back up,” Hardwick said of his attitude in 1963, when he fair closed at 2 a.m.,” Hardwick explained years later. “He walked in the following season as the PBA Player of the Year. first etched his name into the stone of bowling immortality. center at exactly 2 a.m., came over to where I was putting my shoes on But the person on the other end of the call that sent him scrambling and took a .45 from his jacket and laid it on the table. He told me, ‘I just Now he had one more memory to make, one more dark hole to climb for the next flight home from Japan that day in 1969 was not Weber or want to make sure your average is 145.’ I didn’t even finish putting my out of just when everybody else thought he had fallen for good. Carter calling to congratulate him for any of these glories. It was not shoes on. I just got out of there as fast as I could and promised God I some reporter looking for an interview. No; it was his wife, and the news would never hustle again.” “Then in 1976, it finally hit me that I had been on the verge of being had nothing to do with bowling. the best bowler of all time, or at least considered for it, and here I was blowing it,” Hardwick said in 1979 Billy Hardwick’s first-born child, seven-month-old Billy Jr., was dead. Winning always was easy for Billy Hardwick. All he ever had to do was decide to do it. Sure, there was work and hassle in the meantime, The infant, by all accounts a perfectly healthy baby, died suddenly in guns to duck at Bel Mateo, that bed to leave behind on the family porch his crib in what was then termed “crib death,” more commonly known for all those endless nights of hustling, the thousands of games of practice today as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). after that rookie season from hell and the doctors who told him not to bother. But no amount of practice could do more to put him over the top “Country music entertainer Merle Haggard hit the charts a while back than his own raw will to “beat them all.” with a song called ‘I’m Always on a Mountain When I Fall,’” one Bowl- ing Magazine writer put it in 1985. “Billy Hardwick knows the feeling.” “He had unbelievable desire and determination,” Nicholson recalls. “It was at a level that the average guy knows nothing about.” The loss proved to be too great for Hardwick’s marriage to overcome. He got married for a second time several years later. He and his new wife Hardwick found losing as unbearable in 1976 as he did all those days had a son, Christopher. Then they decided they wouldn’t mind having he went down swinging at Hillside High; he just hadn’t yet decided to another. win again. Then he left to catch a plane to Toledo to bowl the 1976 PBA Monro-Matic Open at Imperial Lanes. For the first time in seven years, And that’s when it happened—again. he allowed himself to feel what it was like to head for the next tour stop “She got pregnant again, but she had a terrible time. The baby was without the slightest doubt that his name would be on the trophy by the about seven months along, and the doctor said she was over the rough end of the week. He vowed to win in Toledo. part but wouldn’t be able to have any more kids. Five days later, the baby comes out arm first. The baby died two days later,” Hardwick explained “I had never said anything like that before,” Hardwick said years in an interview with Bowlers Journal. later. “But I had never wanted to do anything so badly before, either. I knew it was my tournament, and that nobody was going to take it away “At that point, who really gives a damn about bowling? People say from me.” they understand, but until you actually lose two children—including an infant—there is no way to describe what it is like. At the time, I was No. He was right. Hardwick made the show in Toledo as the No. 1 seed 1 in the world, and I said ‘So What?’ I just didn’t care. You just check my and blasted a 236 to take his first title since those long-gone days when records after that, because they’re all zeroes.” he enjoyed that view from the top of the world. After turning himself into the PBA’s version of the human highlight But Hardwick mentioned something else on his way to Toledo, too. reel in 1969, Hardwick would not win another title on tour for the next seven years, fumbling for some way to outlast his grief as he bowled “I’m going to make the show at the Firestone,” he told his wife before merely to please the sponsors that paid him to be there. boarding the plane. “I don’t care if they put sand on the lanes.” “Being the best bowler in the world was the least important thing,” Hardwick might have been a hotshot hustler by then, but in his first They didn’t put any sand on the lanes when the Firestone returned Hardwick said in 2005, “because I convinced myself that the better I year on tour he would learn that the way most hotshot kids end up on to Akron days after his triumph in Toledo. But whatever they did to the bowled, the more disaster I would have to face.” the PBA tour is borrowing money for a trip back home with egos held lanes that week, it didn’t stop Hardwick from doing exactly what he said together by Band-aids. Billy Hardwick would need a lot of Band-aids he would do. The ladder Hardwick climbed to reach that view from the top may after his first foray on tour: He went 0-17 and didn’t have so much as a have taken just the length of one terrible phone call to crumble, but it dime to show for his efforts. Hardwick once again was the top qualifier and opened his title match took years to ascend. The climb began at Bel Mateo Bowl in San Mateo, against 21-year-old Marshall Holman by burying three perfect strikes in Calif., where he wiped tables at age 16 for $1.65 an hour as he brooded Don Carter told him to go home, and go home he did—but just long a row. over dreams of joining the bowling gods he worshipped on TV. enough to raise the money to go back out there and do it all over again, that is. “Three in a row for Billy Hardwick in this final match!” exclaimed “We had a bed outside, under a little overhang on the patio. I’d tell Chris Schenkel, the man after whom Hardwick named his son, Chris my parents I wanted to sleep out there. Then, when they’d go to bed, I’d “When he got back home, we asked him what he was going to do,” Hardwick. sneak out and go to the bowling center and stay until 5 o’clock in the says Nicholson, “and he said ‘I’m going to go back out there next year morning,” Hardwick revealed in a 1985 interview. and beat them all.’ We all told him he was nuts.” “It’s almost unbelievable, the control and accuracy of Hardwick,” Bo Burton added. “The three strikes he’s gotten so far are perfect, packed “And on weekends, it was Friday midnight straight through 6 p.m. on And maybe he was. After all, this was the Billy Hardwick who, as strikes.” Sunday. You’d bowl all night, load up on No-Doz and coffee, then catch one Bowlers Journal story put it, “throws the ball like he’s falling out a few minutes rest with your hand bleeding, your back sore, and then get of a tree.” As Hardwick sat and blew on his sore thumb while Holman bowled, back up and grind away again.” he leered at the pins from under his brow like an angry gunslinger staring Hardwick slid and hopped his way to the foul line like a doomed down his enemy in some spaghetti western, unsmiling and determined. And if Hardwick’s victims ever saw through his act – the smell of a plane coming in for an emergency landing, hunching over at the line to calculated sip of beer on his breath or the speech he slurred while taking deliver a full roller that spliced his target like a thread through a needle. “His focus and concentration were unreal,” Nicholson says. “When on all comers to put on the airs of easy prey—Hardwick always knew he got into that zone, the other guys would recognize it and say, ‘Well, I “When they watched me bowl for the first time they wanted to bowl guess we are playing for second place again this week.’” me for a living,” Hardwick recalled of his first days on tour in 1961. “I was the worst they had ever seen.” But the man who became the youngest bowler to win a PBA title in 1963 would fall that day to the man who would become the youngest “He had more ways of getting to the foul line than U.S. Air,” Nichol- bowler to win the Firestone in 1976, as Holman edged Hardwick by a son recalls, “but he was accurate as hell.” margin of just five pins, 203-198. Today, those who doubted Hardwick in 1962 know that they were the And that, as it turned out, was about the last the PBA would see of the nuts and he was the star. But in the 1970s, Hardwick’s star had vanished boy with the golden claw. into the night sky of his despair, and the spectacle was as painful to watch as it was to read about. “After the Firestone, it wasn’t important to me anymore,” Hardwick said three years later. “Maybe that’s why I’ve always felt that the Fires- “Even the veterans, who saw him when he was at the top of his form, tone was the last tournament I really bowled in. Sure, I bowled on the ’77 thought he was just marking time, hanging on to past glories and hoping winter tour, but it was more promotional than anything else.” for just one more moment in the spotlight,” Jim Dressell wrote in a 1976 story for Bowlers Journal. In the town of Bradenton, Fla., that Hardwick calls home today, a lot of things no longer seem important.
