  • Great match between Earl Anthony and Mark Roth. It ends though, before the match is over!

  • It ends when the match is "effectively" over. Did you not hear Bo Burton say "Roth MUST STRIKE" in the 10th? Did he strike? YouTube only allows videos up to 10 minutes. I cut out parts that seemed meaningless to get it to fit.

  • @IveGotYourChange Good point.Earl connected on that 6-8 split as well as the 3-10 split. Walter Ray has similar

    style that Roth has but I don't think WRW was as accurate as Earl on spare shots although got more strikes than Earl. WRW has more PBA titles but bowled twice as long as Earl. Earl still has the most US titles at 10.

  • My favorite 2 bowlers of all time... Thanks guys.. and Earl RIP .. am 44 now, was about 13 when I first Knew you but u will live on. I still cant believe... Met u and Nancy once, but that will be a lifetime in itself... Hi Nancy.. Hope ur well....

  • @Tata996 Interesting observation.

  • @BowlingOldies Sometimes those seemingly meaningless cuts can hinder context. Thanks for posting this. Got any of Barry Asher?

  • RIP Showboat

    RIP Earl Anthony

  • I miss the nebulous-looking star lights on the facade of the pinsetter.

  • I think Earl said something to him on his way back, lol.

  • Mark Roth smile at 2:40 !!!!!!
