Mike Wolfe defeated Mike Scroggins 246-206 to win the PBA Ultimate Scoring Championship in Michigan.

The pros bowled on a typical house league shot, and the scoring was high during qualifying, but not during the televised finals.

Wolfe beat Bill O'Neill 237-215 in one semifinal, while Scroggins beat Robert Smith 238-205.

The PBA heads to Illinois this week. ESPN will televise the finals at 1 p.m. Sunday.

I received a great response to last week's glossary term question, so here is another one. If you have "one in the dark," what is left at the end of the lane? Answer at the end of the column.

Line bowling is another way of targeting and is largely a mental activity. Before you even step up on the approach, look at the lane and imagine a line beginning at the foul line that runs out and through your target on the lane (the arrows), then through to the pocket.Get up on the approach and try to roll your ball along your mental line. It is much like how a golfer shapes his or her shots.

If you have "one in the dark," you have left a spare with a sleeper pin. Examples are the 2-8, 3-9, 1-2-8, 1-3-9, etc. The sleeper pin behind the one in front is the "one in the dark".<B><I>Ron Willison is the bowling columnist for the Butler Eagle.</B></I>
