am indebted to Robert W . \'V'e lls, whose imaginative hisrorical wo rk This

Is Nfifwtiukee provided the inspiration fo r writing this book. In essence, it became my goal to write an equally enlightening and entertaining accounr

of how M ilwaukee became America's bowling capital. 111e journey to this end rook four years and would not have been possible with out the cooperation of so many individuals who agreed to share their time and resources with me. The trail began at the ht:adqu:mers of the United States Bowling Congress in Greendale, W isco nsi n, where Mark Mi ller and the comm unications staff allowed me unlimitt:d acct:ss to their archives of phows and magazine arcicles, many of which provided rhe skelernn on which this body of texr was builr. Much insight into Milwaukee's forma tive years as a bowling mainstay was gleaned from rhe writings of Bowlers journal cdiror Mort Luby Sr. and the prosaic vernacular of 1\1ilwaukee]o11rnaL writer Billy Sixty. Special thanks go to Al Matzelle, the retired executive direcror of the American Bowling Congress (ABC), who, ar eighty-nine years young, provided a firsthand account of the organization's decision makers and graciously applied his meticulous fact-checking and proofing skills ro rhc final manuscripL Similar kudos go tO former ABC public relations executives Steve James and Bruce Pluckhahn, whose anecdotes put a human face on rhe organizarion's policy makers. I am deeply gratt:ful ro Dave Srrachora, Mark Kuglirsch, Marcy Skowronski, Gene Raffel, Carl Lunowa , Dick Fina, Marr Schlehlein, Karhy Zappia, and Don Hildebrand for recounting their family histories as bowl ing propriernrs. And, of course, rhere are rhe numerous bowlers who granted me interviews, not the least of which were Dennis Juechrer, Gil Juechrer, Bob Pin kalla,.J immy "Mo" Miller, Don Barrz, Don Osep, Fred Jaskie, Kathy Franke, Gus Yannaras, G:iry and Gina Daroszewski,Jace Peterson, Mark and Margie Wukoman, and Dale Traber. Accurately documenting rhe impact brothers Harold and Bernie Sampson and the Red Carper centers had on the lvlilwaukee bowling landscape wou ld nor have been possible without the assistance of Dick Richards and Roy Brent. Many thanks also go to Hank Stoddard, Gloria Behr, Marty Behr, Kandy Birmingham , and Hal Kaminski for sharing their fond memories of Leo Pack and the many tournaments hosted by the

I'm also grateful to Ed Pendzich for providing some history of the Tri-C ity Association and Nancy Chapman for sharing her hiscory of che Wisconsin Women's Bowling Association. One of bowling's seldom-discussed copies was its long-standing boycott of minorities, yet the sport captivated Milwaukee's black community, and I am grateful to W. C. Coleman, Owen Grisham, Freddie Sanders, Chuck Hayes, and Chuck Boyd for sharing their experiences. Sadly, there are those whom I interviewed for this book who did not live long enough to sec their memories in print: Helen Lucchesi, Eddie Idzikowski, Lee Rothman, and Jane Leszczynski.

a cue to begin growing hops by the ron, enabling Milwaukee's brewers to more than double their beer production between 1860 and I 865. German immigrants not only knew how ro brew beer, they enjoyed consuming great quantities of it, and by the 1880s, families such as the Uihleins (heirs ro the Schlitz brewery), Jacob Best, Captain Frederick Pabst, Valentine Bla.tz, and Frederick Miller had become the ariscocrats of Milwaukee society. Each rook great pride in his product. Miller, who arrived in 1855 with nine thousand dollars in gold, began brewing the champagne of bottled beers. Frederick Pabst added a blue ribbon to his label after his beer won a taste test, Blatz claimed to be Milwaukee's finest, and the Uihleins proclaimed Schlitz the "Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous." Today, Miller remains the second largest brewery in the country-unable to secu re the number-one ran king on ly because it was upstaged by some well-publicized Clydesdales hauling kegs of a rival brew through the streets of Sr. Louis. Most other fa mous .1vlilwaukee brands have fade d in co memory, yield ing ro either mergers or microbreweries. Beer and bowling were a perfect blend for Milwaukee when the nventieth century unfolded. The lndusrrial Age was raking hold across the councry, and the abundance of manufacruring jobs made Milwaukee a mecca for working-class German immigrants. An inAux of Polish-born workers added to the mix. By 1910, Poles were second only ro Germans as Milwaukee's largest ethnic group. For a blue-collar populace that worked hard and drank hard, listening to oompah bands, playing sheepshead, and bowling became narura.I extensions of thei r European heritage. Modern bowling can trace its roots ro Germany, bur history shows rhe sport first went through various incarnations. London archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie wroce in The Making ofEgypt, published in 1939, that the gravesite of a child buried around 5200 BC conrained artifacts of such a game. 1l1ey included several small scone balls, rhree pieces of marble, and nine slender pins. Petrie speculated that the balls were rolled th.rough a wickedike gateway at the pins. There is no indication whether the child was right-handed or lefr-handed. Ir was several centuries later before another form of bowling was documenrednot as a sport but as a German religious rite. Historian W illiam Pehlc noted that during the third century, Germans carried a club for protection. Ir looked sim ilar to an Irish shillelagh and was called a Kegel. It became customary fo r a parish ioner to set up his Kegel, which symbolized the heide, or heathen, and toss a scone ac it. If he toppled the Kegel, he had sym bolically slain the heathen and was believed to have a pure Christian soul. Hence, che term keg/er has followed bowling down through the centuries, and coday many bowlers regard a srubborn 10 pin as "heathen." 1 Another rudimentary form of bowling born in Eu rope was "skit des:· a combinacion of ho rseshoes, shuffleboard, and the discus throw. Players would toss the cheese

It was a circular piece of ironwood twelve inches in diameter that could weigh six to eight pounds. The ski tries were fourteen-inch-high birch pins weighing eight pounds apiece. One of rhe last known exh ibitions o f skittles occmred during rhe Wisconsin Bowling Proprietors Associatio n annual conventio n in Delavan, \'o/isconsin, in June 1959. An old bromide about life nor being "all beer and skittles" had prompted. the American Brewers Foundatio n ro organize nvay bowling is."+i

New Wave of Women Stars By rhe 1990s, Franke and Morrow were being joined by a new flock of ralcnced female bowlers who included Mickey Cerar, Jil l Albrecht, Diane Stanislawski, and Gina Pouros. C erar, who rolled h er first 300 game in 1988, won her firsr city title in singlc.:s at the age of twenry. By the time she reached twenry-six, she had collected five city crowns in singles, do ubles, and all events. 111en, in 1999, she combined with Chris Kaboskey ro fire a record doubles total of 1,407. In 1998, Caar was inducted inro rhe M\VBA Hall ofFame with Geri Anderson. Like Ro n \'V'heeler of Delavan, \'V'isconsin ,JilJ Albrecht's talenr dwarfc.:d the boundaries of Burlin gron, che small \V isconsin rown she grew up in. Sh e beg:m commucing ro Milwaukee and won city cides in doub les an d all events when she was jusr nineteen. She repeated in doubles with Stanislawski in 1989 and Pouros in 1996 while.: adding another all-evenrs crown in 1999. \'V'ith Albrecht, Stan islawski, and Pouros all within a year of each ocher in terms of age, it was noc su rprising chat they fo rmed a strong nucleus for the Miller Lite team put together by Irene Bolton in 1989. The Lites won the city championship in their fi rst try and swept the crown fro m 1991 through 1993. Tiirough 2001, Albrecht won state cities in the ream cvenr three rimes, all events twice, doubles twice, and singles once. She had another ten champ ionships in M ilwaukee ciry tournaments. Albrecht and Pouros, who married Gary Daroszcwski in 1993, became a do minant doubles d uo, capturing scare rides in 1995 and 2004 and logging a third-place finish in 2005. Albrecht also tried her hand at rhe women's professio nal tour for a few years, bur it wasn't profitable enough co suscain her ambicion. Diane Stanislawski was a Milwaukee all-events champion br rhe age of twenryo ne and credited her rapid rise to two sou rces. O ne was local Professional Bowling Association member Brian Brazeau who helped develop her arm swing and followchrough. H er other advantage came from qu:t!ifying fo r Team USA , which enabled her to work with inrernacion ally acclaimed coach Fred Borden. "\'V'irh Team USA, chey teach you everrthing from the physical ro the mental game," she said. "They teach you how to focus on your game and how to relax. l spent a week at the Olympic Training Cenrer [ in Colorado Spri ngs, Colorad o] in 1992 working with Fred Borden. He teaches you to project a mental image of the ball path, the ball hitting the p ins and what ic is char you want for an outcome of your shor."45

More o.fi:en than not, the outcome of Sranislawski's shots was favorab le. Jn 1998, she totaled 1.922 co finish third in the WIB C Tournament at ~d C ities and shot 1,910 at Reno in the American Bowling Congress (ABC) championships, which were opened co women in 1994. Among her numerous ri des were three in the Badger ~eens hosted by the WWBA. Scanislawski was named Wisconsin Bowler of the Year in 1992, 1993, and 1998, che lase one coming shortly before her career was interrupted by reconstrucrivc hip surgery at the young age of twenty-nine.

Gina Pouros: The Natural Few could argue that perhaps the most naturally talented female bowler to surface in the state was Gina Pouros. One can only speculate how much she could have already accomplished o n rhe lanes if she hadn't opted to marry a bowling propriewr, Gary Daroszewski, in 1993. Raising two children and managing Classic Lanes in Greenfield have caken priority over compecicive bowling. "Life is very busy, and bowling is definitely secondary," she said:16 Nevertheless, few Wisconsin couples, if any, could march the number of rides that Gina and Gary Daroszewsk.i have piled up. In 1996, they became the first husband and wife to be named \X'isconsin Bowlers of the Year at the same time. Gina got her start in bowling at age six when she ragged along with her dad, Jim Pouros. "I used co go to watch my dad bowl at Serb H all, and after he was done with league, I'd throw a few games:· she recalled. "My dad helped me, buc there were nvo others at Serb, Al Jeske and Pere Drobac, who also worked with me." Jeske, a Greater Milwaukee Bow ling Association Hall ofFamer who set a Serb Hall scoring record of 836 since I 967, also developed two of his grandchildren, Krisropher and Jamie Wardins.ki, inco calenced young bowlers before his death at age ninety. Gina Pouros joined her fi rst junior league at Silver City Lanes on Nat ional Avenue where Jimmy Certai n, a veteran of rhe pro tour, ran a pro shop. "H e helped me a little there; then he moved his pro shop to Bluemound Bowl, and I would go out there to see him," she said. "1l1at's where he gave me ideas o n adjusting and playing the lanes. I developed much of my ability bowling in juniors. I had a great time and accually won a lot of tournaments, which helped boost my ego. We all need some of char, I guess, as long as yon know how to use it."·17 W hen Pouros was eleven, she fell a tad shore in her first opportunity to shine. She qualified for WTMJ-TV's j unior Bowling with the Champs but lose the championsh.ip to Jill Albrecht, who would become her close friend and teammate. By age twencyone, Pouros was a city champio n in singles, all events, ouros, 138, 141 - 144 Davis, Dave.:. 192, 192-193 Daw, Charlie, 62, 64-66, 65, 75, 91 Day,Ned, 17,45-46,62, 70, 70-75,71, 84- 85 de Freirns, Eric, 150, 152 Oeddo, Tommy, 29-30, 163, 210 Deford, Frank, 16 Deines, Ed, l 00 delivery scylc.:. 8 1-84, 105, 196.
