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.

"The way I see it, if you

---DOLLY PARTON ( Splits

of the game as strikes and

"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

In all things, success
