Local man turns in national mark

Paperwork is all that is left.

Keith Glasgow's outstanding scores in the St. Petersburg Bowling Association's 70th annual City Tournament of Champions two weekends ago at Liberty are sitting on a table somewhere in Milwaukee, waiting for a big stamp of approval from the U.S. Bowling Congress.

It turns out, after Glasgow, a native of St. Petersburg, went 816 in three games of singles scratch and 846 in three games in doubles with partner Charles Bush, his six-game total is a national USBC record. With 1,662 pins, Glasgow edged Dennis Sullivan's record of 1,659 pins set in Denver on Aug. 10, 1995.

"Right now I'm on a roll," Glasgow, 50, said Thursday afternoon. "Its funny because I went to Vegas the week before and I couldn't get anything going. Usually when you come back you can't do anything for an entire week. But this time it all felt in synch."

Deciding to play the City Tournament the day it started, Glasgow, an SPBA Hall of Famer, made a few calls and got there just in time. Alongside his record-breaking six games, Glasgow may have set five-, eight- and nine-game records as well, and won scratch doubles with Bush and all events scratch with 2,395 pins in all.

"I just went and bowled it," said Glasgow, also a member of the Softball Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio, after doubling as a pro player and St. Petersburg Police sergeant in his earlier years. "It's always enjoyable when you score like that, but I did not expect it."

SPBA manager and local bowling icon Bill Zuben, who drilled both of the balls Glasgow used, said he has been in contact with the USBC Records Office and is awaiting the application process.

Tom Milton had the only 300, helping him to 780 for a second-place finish in scratch singles. The only lead change from the first weekend was in handicap singles as Ed Winkowski's 839 topped Glasgow's 816. Final results of the City Tournament are at spbafl.org.

ABT: Bob Hammers Jr. of Lakeland took first in the Amateur Bowlers Tour tournament at Countryside April 15, earning $1,600. John Weiser of Largo placed third for $300, Jeff Cole finished fourth for $175 and Ken Sevitts (Dunedin), Nick Gates (Tampa) and Stacey Sharkey (Safety Harbor) all cashed in the top 10. The ABT is at Seminole Saturday with a minimum $2,000 with full progressive towards first-place. After that, May 26 the ABT will be at Orange Bowl in Lakeland.

NEW TOURNAMENT: The Best of the Best, a new series of quarterly all-scratch tournaments, will hold its inaugural outing at Countryside on May 20 at 8:30 a.m. A field of 180 will get a shot at the $2,500 first-place prize money, guaranteed.

CHATTER: Glasgow also bowled a 258-267-279/804 for his umpteenth 800 in the commercial league at Sunrise to lead the league scores last week. Tarpon Monday Mixer Terry Nappi celebrated a 300/664, Seminole's Leroy Goffer also went 300 alongside 206 and 297 for a nice 803. Rick Maxey also had a 300 at Seminole. At all of 14 years old, Vince Eddinger rolled his first perfect game in the Troy Carlson league at Seminole last Saturday for a 652 while carrying a 173 average.
