Hornreich Story

Lenny, You and Butch, and all the contributors of this sight really opened my eyes and probably the rest of the young audience's eyes about Richie Hornreich. I posted a question to Jim Dressel editor of the Bowlersjournal, as to why Richie Hornreich was not on the list of the greatest 100 bowlers of the century, even though The "Count" Guengler was listed as #25. This was Jim Dressels response: "Bowlers Journal International Discussion Board Re: To Editor JDressel - The Count what about The Horn Posted By: Jim Dressel

Wednesday, 8 December 1999, at 10:15 a.m.

Actually, I heard many stories about Richie Hornreich when I was living back in the east coast, and saw him bowl several times in the old Kegler Bowling Club scratch events when I was involved with that group. He was a helluva bowler, but you wonder how many of the stories are true or not. I do know he found it difficult on at least two occasions to get anyone to bowl him in some meaningful "action"...

Which brings me to the point of this post -- it's probably time we do a story on Richie, if he's willing. If anyone has any contact information, please send it along. In the meantime, this is also a story that could be told through several second party sources, like Roth, Berardi, et al. I don't know if we're going to get the chance to talk to Joey about this one (does anyone know where he is?), but certainly we can follow it up.

And as for why "The Horn" is not in our Top 100 and "The Count" is, let me just say that it may be just as simple as that fact that Gengler got the ink, while Hornreich didn't. Besides, mkano a mano matches were the order of the day in Gengler's day, while the PBA Tour grabbed most of the headlines in Hornreich's day... again, though, let's see what we can do about setting the record straight with a story in BJ... "

I really have no relationship with Richie, but I know you still do. Perhaps you can tell him that Jim Dressel would like to write an article about Richie. If he is the greatest action bowler of all time, he deserves to be recognized as that.

My life has been one never-ending road trip. I was born in a freight car somewhere's in the mid west, I've never been sure exactly where... www.go-poker.com

1 st time i bowled richie he had just come back from vegas and haddent bowled in a few years. came to maple and challenged the house so me being a big shot bowl him. i lost that match before we ever threw a ball. and i was at that time twice the bowler he was. but he still won. he mentally beat me before the match. he taunted me in front of all the maple bowlers. luckily for me he gave me a rematch saturday afternoon. and i beat him 8 straight. that was the day we became friends. and he became the teacher and me the student. like joe s was to him. unfortunatly being a thick headed 18 yr old , i would forget my teachers lessons and end up bowling someone like behrbohm or burgland or kitter in an actyion rich bowling alley and never get an easy match in that house again. hornet was the best, when i was growing up i spent time at bay ridge and all the great stories were about hornet.
i was lucky i got to bowl around the real greats of the game. Petraglia, joe's, hornreich,roth, etc.

Lou, just for the fun of it why not write a list of all the great action bowlers you bowled and the ones you watched but never had a chance to go against.

Was there ever any big consistant action at Bay Ridge.

Were you there when Larry Hersh had the lunch counter concession at Bay Ridge and later at Park Circle. Joe S knows Larry well, he had the pro shop there at the time.

ok the best match i saw was the night rags and roth bowled cliff and jeff. but that was not the match that was good. the beeper spallone match was the fun match to watch. beeper would foul by 2 to 3 feet every shot and that really irked spallone, bobby was at the top of his game and beeper didnt belong on the lanes with him, but as usual the beeper got the edge with the fouling and that horrible beeping. anyway beeper is up i think 3 games on spallone and its the 10th frame and bobby needs a mark .leaves a ringing 10 pin. so he walks all the way down the lane and gets on his knees and makes the 10 pin from 5 feet. well this is about the craziest thing you ever saw beeper strats getting loud and whooooooo whoooo ing like a machine gun and spallone is arguing that a foul is a foul. 2 feet or 48 feet. anyhow that was the last game the beeper quit . that was the funniest match i ever saw.

Louis, that was really funny. I saw exactly the same thing in Central with Iggy Russo.

I posted it about a year ago somewhere on this site.

Some kid was bowling Iggy and fouling by a full step. The big money game was down to Iggy needing a mark. He left a solid ten and took his ball all the way down the lane, laid down in front of the pin and knocked it over. then he came back took the money and in his best falsetto said "you foul, I foul." Nobody said a word.

It was the funniest thing I ever saw.

You would have only wanted to bowl Lemon if you were way ahead for the night and taking a shot. He would have destroyed you.

Guys - I was hoping you might all help me out. My dad, Dick Sand, was a junior bowler at Green Acres Lanes in Valley Stream. He tells me that in 1960 he lost the LI junior match championship to Richie Hornreich, at Argo Lanes, in Largo. I just want to know if any of you have heard of these guys: Dick Sand, Duke Longatano, Ricky Hurst, Joe Chizmadia, Jimmie Ruccione, or Richie Del Nunzio. According to story, these guys finished 3rd in the NJBC National Tourney, and turned down the World's, because they were playing for money at the time. I am facinated by the history on this site, and I'm hoping to receive any sort of feedback about this great time in bowling history. As an afterthought, Dad says he looked up to guys like Lemon, Sis, and Graz. He says they were the best guys you could find. Thanks, and my e-mail is posted.

Player Profile: Bowling Hall of Famer Ernie Schlegel

Ernie Schlegel became a member of the PBA in 1967 and had the reputation of being an animated bowler. He was tagged "The Bicentennial Kid" this nickname stuck with him throughout his long career. This nickname fit his personality and style perfectly because during the 1970s he would wear colorful red, white and blue outfits he also wore sunglasses when he was bowling on television.

Early in his career he won his first title in Overland Park, Kansas, in 1980, and then won another title later in the year in Portland, Oregon. Schlegel was always a steady bowler on the PBA Tour, perhaps his greatest accomplishment was in 1995, Touring Players Championship in Pittsburgh. He beat the tournament leader Randy Pedersen in one of the most electrifying matches in PBA history.

Now at age 69, Schlegel was once known as a notorious "action bowler", which is a high stakes for of gambling in which thousands of dollars could be on the line in each game.

In a New York Times article Schlegel said, "You'd go at 1 in the morning, and there were 50 lanes and the places was packed, the action was huge back then, like poker is today."

Back in the 1960s and 70s there was a lot of money in bowling, today that is not the case. If you got to a bowling alley late at night you will normally hear loud music, the lights will be off to make the alley feel a bit like a dance club. The serious nature of bowling does not exist anymore. Even on the professional circuit today bowlers do not gamble under the table everything is organized.

In addition to the New York Times article bowling great Richie Hornreich of Brooklyn, Ny said, "back then there was a lot of street money, and if you didn't have it, there were shylocks to make sure you did."

"Before I bowled, I had one drink and threw a shot of bourbon on my head or down my neck," Schlegel said. "That way, when I got to the bowling alley, I smelled real good. Then I'd bowl guys who were sure I was drunk. I crushed them."

Schlegel explains that he was hanging around a rough crowd back then in Manhattan in the 1960s. The only crowd Schlegel is with today is his family.

The NYC Bowling Association Hall of Fame Dinner was packed
last night with about 200 people. Ernie accepted with a terriffic and funny
speech. His daughter flew up from Florida and his sister and brother in law came
down from upstate NY along with Cathy's family members. He spoke about
growing up in Upper Manhattan and how he started bowling and the fact that the
action in the 60's was the best time in his life and a time that has never been
equalled. Talked about Gun Post and Central and other action houses like Parkway
and Whitestone. He spoke of his favorite bowlers, Jake
Charter(originator of "fruit salad"), Ralph Engan(his hero), Joe Santini, Jack
Clemente, Frank Medici, Mike Limongello, John Massero, Teata Semiz, Pete Mylenki
Richie Hornreich, Johnny Petraglia, Dewey Blair and a few others I can't
remember right now. There were many of his friends there like John and
Nick Kourabas whose father Chris gave Ernie a job at Inwood Lanes which allowed
him to practice free for many hours a week, Teata Semiz, Pete Mylenki, Steve
Harris, Tony Bozzo, Chuck Pezzano and Jack Clemente to name a
few.

JIMMY CUSKER REMEMBERS BOWLING IN THE 1960'S AT 9-W LANES, ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, IN THE FIVE MAN CLASSIC, IN WHICH TONY BOZZO WAS HIGH AVERAGE.

BOB SIMARI
New York City born and bred, I lived until late in 2012 with my wife Pat and son
Chris on Long Island's south shore. We were located just minutes from the
Atlantic Ocean and beautiful Jones Beach whose pristine dunes and sparkling
waters have always inspired me. When the world closed in a bit too much, a brisk
walk along the seashore was always my instant elixir... Originally educated as a
teacher and having spent the early years of my career in the classroom, I
subsequently opened my own Victorian antiques business in New York City in 1979
and enjoyed the buying and selling for thirty three years until I decided to
retire in 2011. A year or so after retiring, Pat and I purchased our
dream home in Sedona, Arizona where we have lived since December 2012. We are
located right in the middle of red rock country and now have easy access to all
of the spectacular beauty of the southwest, essentially in our backyard. 
I've been an enthusiastic and dedicated amateur photographer since receiving a
Kodak Brownie camera for Christmas as a very young boy. Over recent years while
living in New York I developed a deep fascination with America's western
landscape and would regularly travel, for several weeks at a time, west of the
Rockies in order to hike, explore and search for new and unique vistas and
experiences. The southwest holds a particular fascination for me, but I can also
be found hiking in the Rocky Mountains, exploring California's expansive
shorelines and trekking thru the Pacific Northwest's mountains, beaches and
harbors...to name but a few spots. America's national parks, forests and
monuments as well as her BLM lands, state parks and Indian reservations...these
are my stomping grounds. From their spectacular mountains, lakes and seashores
to their mysterious and stark canyons, mesas and desert sands; I never tire of
hiking, exploring and discovering their hidden secrets - always with a camera
over one shoulder and a camcorder over the other. Creating images which attempt
to capture the spirit of these unique spots enables me to share them with
others...and perhaps inspire their imaginations as well. From the pastel
pre-dawn hours of early mornings until the last rays of light leave the western
skies, I find myself continually awed by the magical moments I experience in
these special places. I am a two term past president of Long Island's
Nassau County Camera Club and served as Chairman of its Programs Committee and
its Workshops Committee for four years as well. Until late 2008 my photos were
all taken on film with a Nikon F100 utilizing mostly Fuji Velvia 50. My lenses
of choice are the 17-35 / F 2.8 Nikkor and the 28-70 / F 2.8 Nikkor, although
I do carry longer lenses as well. I held off for quite a while and only when
Nikon decided to introduce a full frame sensor DSLR several years ago did I make
the move over to digital capture; I must admit that I'm more impressed than I
expected to be with the quality and versatility of my D700, even though I make
use of just a few of its features. While I do enjoy viewing some manipulated
images, I consider many of them to fall more into the realm of art than
photography and prefer to avoid all but the most basic Photoshop tools myself. I
adjust color tones and contrast, dodge, burn and sharpen but rarely do much
more than that with my photos. I prefer to try to capture the essence of a place
as I see it; if I accomplish that in others' eyes, then I've achieved what I set
out to do in my photography.

FROM "PIN ACTION" by GIANMARC MANZIONE

THE ONLY CONVERSATION ANYONE WAS HAVING ON THE PBA TOUR AT THAT TIME SURROUNDED ONE NAME: MARK ROTH. AS SCHLEGEL CHASED AN ELUSIVE FIRST TITLE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, HE WATCHED ROTH OACE HIM TWENTY TWO TIMES IN A FOUR-YEAR STRETCH FROM '75-'79. A STOCKY, FEARLESS KID FROM BROOKLYN WHO HAD THE STARE OF A KILLER AND THREW THE BALL LIKE A CANNON, ROTH GREW UP STORMING SOME OF THE SAME SMOKY ACTION BOWLING HAUNTS AS SCHLEGEL, LEAVING STORIES IN HIS WAKE THAT WILL BE TOLD FOR DECADES TO COME. THERE WAS THE TIME HE BUSTED OUT A BOWLING ALLEY AT TWENTY TWO YEARS OLD WITH $4,500 AND SHOWED UP IN A NEW DODGE THE NEXT DAY:THE TIME HE THREW A BOWLING BALL THROUGH THE FLOOR IN FURY: THE TIME HE GOT MARRIED IN A NEW YORK RANGER'S JERSEY: THE NIGHT HE CONVERTED THE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE 7-10 SPLIT

THE PIONER OF SOMETHING KNOWN IN BOWLING AS A "POWER GAME", ROTH"S STOMPING STEPS RESEMBLEED A STAMPEDE OF STARTLED BUFFALO AS HE CHARGED TOWARD THE FOUL LINE. HE KEPT HIS WRIST COCKED UNDER THE BALL AS IT EXPLODED OUT OF HIS HAND AND WHIPPED BACK TOWARD THE POCKET TO OBLITERATE THE PINS. IT WAS A FEROCITY NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN THE SPORT, A PHYSICAL DOMINANCE THAT HAD MANY OPPOSING PLAYERS BEATEN BEFORE THEY THREW A BALL, SO INTIMIDATING WAS ROTH'S PRESENCE.

ROTH'S ABILITY TO TRANSFORM BOWLING BALLS INTO BOMBS CAME AT THE EXPENSE OF A THUMB THAT THAT RARELY ENDURED THE STRESS WITHOUT BLEEDING--A THUMB THAT BECAME AS MUCH OF A MYTH AS THE MAN HIMSELF. WHENEVER OTH'S THUMB BLED,IT FILLEDWITH PUS, PUTTING HIM OUT OF COMMISSION UNTIL TH SWELLING RECEDED. SCHLEGEL REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS ROTH'S "DOCTOR", AND WOULD "BUILD" ROTH A THUMB FROM THE GNARLED MESS IT BECAME, REPAIRING IT WITH A LIQUID BANDAGE CALLED NU-SKIN TO THE POINT WHERE ROTH STILL COULD BOWL WELL ENOUGH TO QUALIFY FOR THE TELEVISED FINALS. MANY WHO WATCHED ROTH DEVELOP AS ONE OF BROOKLYN'S EMERGING PLAYERS TOLD HIM HE WOULD NEVER MAKE IT THROWING THE BALL THAT WAY. WITHIN A FEW YEARS, NO ONE REMEMBERED THE NAMES OF THOSE DOUBTERS, BUT EVERYONE KNEW THE NAME OF MARK ROTH

WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER WORKING AS A PINBOY AT BLUE DANUBE LANES IN CAIRO, NY, I WOULD CHOOSE A HOUSE BALL FROM THE RACK AND ROLL IT DOWN THE LANES, TO KILL TIME WHILE WAITING FOR BOWLERS TO ARRIVE. I WOULD HAVE TO WALK TO THE PIT AND RE-SET THE PINS.

ONE DAY ARTIE THE PROPRIETOR ARRANGED A MATCH WITH THE PIN BOYS FROM A NEIGHBORING TOWN CALLED ATHENS LANES IN ATHENS, NY. WE TRAVELED TO ATHENS FOR THE MATCH. WHEN WE GOT THERE WE BOWLED TWO GAMES. ONE GAME WE SET UP THE PINS AND MISSED THE MATCH. ONE OF THE PIN BOYS FROM ATHENS WAS A VERY GOOD BOWLER AS A TEENAGER WHO WENT ON TO PITCH FOR THE NY YANKEES. HIS NAME WAS BILLY STAFFORD. WHEN HIS BASEBALL CARREER ENDED, HE CONTINUED TO BOWL AT A HIGH LEVEL (AT LEAST ONE PERFECT GAME, MAYBE MORE). I HEAR HE DIED QUITE YOUNG.

Weird day.... very happy to be in Florida with Linda. but very sad for having lost 2 great bowling friends. Craig Mueller and Ira Katz both former teammates at Paramus bowl in Eastern Classic. both one of a kind character's. i remember driving to Paramus on Monday's with Ira, always a fun ride. the best was Charlie Bruno and i were going out to Wantagh to bowl the Newsday Tournament with Ira and stay at his house. so knowing Ira we came with 2 coolers 1 for me and Charlie and the other full of Bud's for Ira. We finish bowling on sat nite. we give Ira 4 bud's for the ride to his house. we get on southern state go about 5 miles and he pulls us over he's out of beer and needs a refill and it gets better... he barbeque's london broil's for everybody i say aren't you eating. he pulls out a massive london broil cook's it and then puts it whole on a loaf of bread and eats it's like a sandwich awesome!!!! i will miss both of them very much. maybe they can have a doubles match in heaven Craig and Ed Ditolla against Ira and Stan Marchut. now that's a classic match!!! RIP CRAIG AND IRA!!!!!

1958 - Park Circle Lanes - Brooklyn NY - Iggy Russo

The first time I saw Iggy Russo was in 1958 at Park Circle lanes, when he came in on Fri night and challenged anyone in the house over the microphone, just after the singles classic league had just been completed, with some pretty good NY locals at that time, such as Jimmy Allen, Tom Ermolovich, Bert Goodman, Joe Santini ,Vinny Pantuso, Tom Caputi, Tom Camelleri, and a few more 200 plus bowlers. No one accepted Iggys challenge, however he bet $100 that he could bowl 120 right on the nose. The action started, Iggy off to the races throws a strike, then another and another again one more and Isay to myself whats this guy up too, when after he throws the 5th consecutive strike and says you lose, do you want me to press the re set or throw gutter balls the rest of the way 30 - 60 - 90 - 110 120 picks up the C note and says want more, so the crowd bets now 200 bucks, but he (Iggy) had to hit pins on every shot. The game commences again and Iggy a master at the game for leaving whatever he wanted worked his way to the tenth frame with 98 in the 8th a strike in the ninth, a sure lock for anyone who knew him cause, he could easily pick three off the right and three off the left. Now comes the 10th frame Iggy shoots for the 6-9-10 and low and be hold to everyones surprize, he picks the 6-10 clean, and now must get four of the remaining six pins to win the 200 bucks, no easy task for us mortal bowlers, but the legend again grabs the microphone, and for about 10 minutes walks up and down on the approach, saying should I try for the 4-7-8 sliding the backrow, leaving the 1-2-3-5 or should Icome in light for a bucket leaving the 2-4-5-8, or perhaps I should throw my loaded ball, a fade to the three pin and leave, the 1-2-4-7, any way you sliced it, a difficult shot. Iggy goes for the loaded ball, throws the fade and leaves the 1-2-4-7 for a winner, and had no more action for the rest of the night...Lenny D

Neptune Lanes, TV Matches

All the big name pba bowlers came to bowl there, watching bluth in practice setting up white adhesive tape on the lanes as a marker around 17 at 50 feet, and shooting 780 that night. other bowlers who bowled, joe joseph vs iggy russo , iggy beat him , had him closed out and bowled off the wrong foot in the 10th to showboat. the cane

Summer of 62 - Iggy

Iggy Russo came to Ave M bowl to bowl stoop, with his backer bookmaker loan shark or whatever for a thousand a game. Iggy was notorious for throwing games, his backer would bet on the other guy, knowing Iggy would lose the first game and line in later in the game, however this particular time , Stoop was doing the identical thing that Iggy was doing , trying to lose, with his backer betting a thousand on Iggy to win. What a predicament, when Iggy got up on the right lane in the tenth he found himself up 1 pin 106 to 105, then both backers proceeded to put a gun to Iggy, Iggys backer saying, you sold me out, he's doing worse than you, and stoops backer saying, I bet a grand on you to win, better throw a good ball, this was on lanes 19 and 20 as I was bowling a match on the opposite pair on the otherside of the house, 11 and 12, it was 3 am Sat morning, Iggy then got up to apparently throw the 10th frame, he collapsed to the floor, grabbing his chest, an ambulance got there 20 minutes later and took Iggy out on the stretcher apparently having a heart attack, being in his middle forties. At the first red light iggy jumped out of the ambulance and ran to his car, he disappeared for a couple of weeks...

1962 - Seaview Lanes - Brooklyn NY - Iggy

I'm in a doubles match with Joe Palase vs Pete Anos and Ed Beldau, we win 6 straight and Ed switches partners, bringing in Phil Marino on Phillys pair, 33 and 34. Joe didnt want any part of the match, I was bowling pretty good, out of the crowd of a couple hundred at 3am comes Iggy and asks to be my partner I said ok, but with trepidation, I cut my bet from 60 a game to 20, I was making 55 a week in wall street. I bowl 258 iggy shoots 176, we loose, about $2000 had been bet. 2nd game I bowl 248 Iggy gets 11 ten pins for 190, we lose again by 15, he deliberately left ten pins which he could do, he's a master. I'm almost ready to quit when iggy says stay 1 more, I got it, no one bets us, I give Iggy a 20 he now ups his bet from 20 a game to $2000 and shoots 290, we win. Now everyone wants us but Iggy shuts everyone out. I give him my 20, he bets another 2000, Iggy another 290 and me 220 to win again, now the heavy betters are ready to kill him because they cant get a bet on us, so Iggy collects 3500 this game marking down the names with no intention of winning, unbeknown to me at 21. The bet is now 1800 and Iggy pockets 1700 for himself shooting another 176 as I again was in the 240s to lose by 15 again. This happened the next game as well and I quit. The final outcome, I lose 40, Iggy makes 3500 in the middle over booking, and his partner in crime makes $10,000 in the back betting both ways, the signal from Iggy was a cigarette on the telescore meant a loss, otherwise he was trying, this was found out by me several years later by his partner in crime who shall at this time remain only as " S"

THAT YEAR WEBER LEADING MONEY WINNER ON TOUR MADE - $7500,

That night Iggy and S made - $12,000

1962 - Leader Lanes - Brooklyn NY - Iggy

It's a month or so after a doubles match I had bowled with with iggy, at Seaview lanes, where much money was made by iggy and friend, it was a thursday night around midnight, the week before word had it that Mike Lemongello had cleaned out the house at Leader, I wanted to see if I could make a few bucks betting on him. I get there and only two bowlers are beside the desk man when I walk in, they were Joe C and Tony Farina. I asked them where all the action was, they too had heard that the week before the joint was jumpin, but not tonite. The 3 of us are walking out the door when who should walk in, of course iggy and says "where are you guys going". we said there's no action here , but Iggy says Im here, he looks at me and says do you want to be my partner again against these 2 guys?, I turn my head around and looking for side money action or another person, cant believing, he would tank me now, since there was not that much to be made. we go down to 5 and 6 and are playing for 25 a man which was 1/2 a week salary for me at that time. four games in a row the other 3 bowlers were in the 190s to low 200s and I was in the 220s. We sweep them for a 100 a piece and I turn to Iggy, just you and me left, how bout 50 a game. I'm looking to get back the money (40) I had lost a few short weeks ago at Seaview. We start the game, Im off to a spare and a 5 bagger when iggy who has 3 opens thru 6 picks up his ball and says Im getting out of here with 50 profit tonite. I pick up the lines and go home

Ralph Engan was born in Brooklyn, New York, on October 6, 1928, but he and his family moved to Yonkers when he was one and one-half years old.

Ralph's father, John, was a great bowler, known up and down the Eastern seaboard, and he had many scrapbooks attesting to his various feats and to the honors Bestowed on him for his bowling prowess. Young Ralph was designated as the "keeper of the scrapbooks" and it was his assignment to cut the newspaper articles and pictures of his dad. He made certain that the books were neat and orderly and kept up-to-date and it was through these scrapbooks that Ralph developed an interest in the game. This interest was heightened when he accompanied his father on his travels to various competitions.

When he was16 years of age, Ralph asked his father to teach him how to bowl (one was not permitted on the premises of a bowling center until that age). His request was refused with gentle reminder that it was a "back alley" sport and that there was no real future in it. This did not deter Ralph and he obtained a job as a pinboy in the American Legion Lanes in Yonkers where a fellow by the name of Bill Tomilnson taught him the techniques of bowling.

For the Past 33 years Ralph has been a prominent name in bowling alleys throughout the nation. He is the holder of numerous titles, 56 in all, including the 1950 Metropolitan Singles, Doubles and All Events championships. He was the Yonkers City Singles Champion four times. In 1957 Ralph was a member of the New York Championship five man team: in 1963 and 1964 was the New Jersey State five man and Doubles Champion; in 1963 was the Bowling Proprietors Association of America Match Game Champion and in 1964 was crowned the New Jersey Golden Pins Champions.

For winning many tournaments and titles he was named "Metropolitan Bowler of the Year" In 1967. He then won the Bowling Proprietors Association of America Championship of Westchester County and was the Tri-County Association Champion nine times. In 1969 Ralph was a member of the National American Bowling Congress Team Champions.

To his credit are four sanctioned 300 games; one in 1961 in Paramus, New Jersey; one in 1965 at the Golden Pins Tourney in New Jersey; one in 1968 at Hub Bowl in Monsey, New York; and one in 1975 in the Bergen County Championships in New Jersey.

In addition, Ralph has 33 unsanctioned 300 games. Attesting to his outstanding skill if the fact that he has bowled over 100 sanctioned 700 series or better for 19 years in a row, 1965 to 1975, his highest being 218.34. Adding to his many honors is the American Bowling Congress record for a ten game tournament, 2388.

As a professional bowler, Ralph has the distinction of having six pro titles, two nationals, and four eastern regional. He was voted Tournament Committee Chairman for three years and a member of the Executive Board in the professional tour, Ralph Engan was accorded one of the most coveted honors when he was voted the "Steve Nagy Good Guy Award" by his bowling peers.
