He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that had been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is continuing his smokin\u2019 ways.

Sharkey, Kitsap County\u2019s best bowler, and maybe the best bowler in the state, led all the way to the finals of the Tony\u2019s Restaurant Open held at All Star Lanes in Silverdale. Then he was blown away when Dean Richards did something that had been done just twice before \u2013 bowl a perfect game (300) in the TV finals. His 300 put away Sharkey, who stumbled to a 177, probably because he was shell shocked by what Richards was doing.\u00a0 Richards joins Vern Elkhart and Gabby Galbraith as the only other bowlers to win a KSBO title with a perfect game. \u201cDean did it bowling two handed after he bowled the qualifying with one hand which is a pretty amazing feat,\u201d said Alison Eoff, secretary\/treasure of KSBO.\u00a0 \u201cHe said that he was very nervous as this was his first one with two hands.\u201d Big Dawg, You could not roll a 300 even if they allowed you to count three games toward a possible 300. Paul Andrews took the George Shafer Memorial 205-and-Under Division. Andrews led all the way through qualifying and stopped Darrell Scott in the TV finals, 198-125.\u00a0 The KSBO crowd was back at it today at Laurel Lanes in Port Angeles for the Lakeside Industries and the Seven Cedars Casino 205-and-Under Division.\u00a0 Entries for the Swiss Trio Tournament are now being accepted by calling Eoff at (360) 373-3771 or at aeoff@wavecable.com.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bumerton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1127"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1128,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1127\/revisions\/1128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
