The date was March 27, 1982
at Red Carpet Celebrity Lanes, Milwaukee, Wis. Earl Anthony was up against Jeff
Mattingly in the semi-final match of the Miller High Life Open. Mattingly was
coming off of a 236-223 victory over Marshall Holman. Jeff appears to be using a
hard shell ball, doesn't get much hook, but has great strike power. Earl Anthony
in this match and the championship match was as strong and determined as I've
ever seen him. Earl shot 537 for his two games in winning the tournament, which
he earned $23,000 for his victory. Unfortunately, Jeff Mattingly was killed in
an automobile accident. I'm not sure of the date, but it was either later in
1982, or in 1983. I hope you enjoy the action.
