Pete bowled a lot of action in late 60's and early 70's. He would bowl anybody.

Pete Mylenki bowled alot of doubles with Ernie. He was horrible. Where did you get that bs about lemon. He never thought of getting on the lanes with Lemon. Lemon could have spotted him 20 pins.

You're right,Pete didn't belong on the same lanes with Lemon. But that didn't stop him. I was Pete's partner against Lemon and somone he brought from L.I. We beat them 4 or 5 games in row. Lemon covering all the action himself. Lemon shot 220every game while his partner shots 180. Pete and I at 210 each. The match was in Hackensack N.J. Pete not satisfied,so he wants to against Lemon alone. Pete takes Lemon to his home house in River Edge. Lemon takes every dollar we had.

Belfairbuck. Just wondering why did you bet on Mylenki? I guess you were taking a shot. why not quit after the first loss. Who was your partner in the doubles match? One other question. Who would you have bet on, on being the best in the tenth. Lemon, Hornreich or schlegel and why?

ExDegen, Don't remember Lemon's partner, only that he was a stocky guy. Bet on Pete because we were partners, couldn't not support him. Plus in those days bad action was better than no action. Best action bowler I remember was Ralph Engan. Nobody would bowl him at Central until the end of the night. Only the big winners or big losers(trying to get even) would even think about going against him.

Thanx. Ralph was a great action bowler but I thought hornreich and lemon were better. If they were hooking too much, ralph had problems because he threw so much ball. He did with a ball what some bowlers cannot do today with resin. He was the smoothest bowler I ever saw, including all l the great pros. Ralph did win three stops. A real nice guy who passed away in the late 70s from cancer. I remember the night in central when he bowled Ray Shell and they tied at 300.

pete mylenki could bowl,ernie and pete bowled mike and tom betucci on 37&38 in central and cleaned their clock,they also on another nite bowled ralph& doc iandolli and each game came down to the tenth and pete was like ice, what made ernie the best was he knew talent and when a match was in his favor,what made mike,richie, and quite a few others not as good(i didn't say talent)the never knew when to quit or if they had the best of the match they just wanted to bowl ernie was there for the kill and each time he bowled with pete they won. pete on the other hand was just like mike and richie,but the best was ralph ,ernie beat him 3 times ralph beat him 2 times,but you ask him today and he'll tell you ralph, not mike or ritchie,or anybody else............period......the best.....

Mylenki stunk. What were you watching? Ernie used him to get easy matches. Lemon and ritchie would have beat him blindfolded. guess you forgot the night richie destroyed Godman a great Pba bowler. you also forgot that ernie did beat richie once or twice because he bowled him after Richie was tired. richie would walk in at 12 in central, ernie never came in before three. Then richie started walking in at 3, rested and ernie never beat him again.

to ernie or sicle street you were tough always and when i knew you , when i went on tour you still had game. you could bowl on most conditions becouse you were accurate . i also agree that most action bowlers including myself were gamblers and always wanted more and never knew when to quit. I remember pappas betting me in N.C once that i could not shoot 220 and i beat him 3 straight. he quit so i said how about 230 he said 235 i won the first lost 4 straight and ended up 100 dollars down. you gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em. say hello to cathy and stay well.

I have to agree with the last response. I only saw Mylenki bowl a few times with Schlegel but he did not look good and threw a horrible full roller.

I was in Central throughout the mid-late 60's and at GunPost before that. Ernie was the smartest action bowler period. Most guys were all ego, swagger and talk. It was a show. Ernie was always thinking.
Ralph Engan was my idol. Threw the smoothest ball with power. He was like Fred Astaire in bowling shoes. Also, never heard anyone say a bad word about him.
Sickle St. still have my red Jubilere?

Stevie Wonder is right. Ernie was the smartest especially when he was dumping. How many times he collected from the back, never bet a dime, did not put all in the middle and threw the game.

ExAlleyRat, come on, Ernie was smart not a crook. He would bet only 20 and lose, then freeze out the back, bet big and win. That's different that taking the money and not betting it. Most of it was just feeling out the pair and his opponent until he was confident.
I know because we went partners many times at Central, Gunpost and various other houses all over.

Feeling out his opponent. He was the favorite unless he bowled Richie or Lemon.

Ernie is bowling Mike Chuchillo from Patchogue one night at central. Nothing less than 240 for Ernie the first six and wins them all. the next game, he needs a mark in the tenth. he missed the head pin, left the 124 and then missed it to the left. Ernie came back laughing. The next game 240 plus, match over. he never went into his pocket for the game he lost.
