Dream Come True For Hurler Baney
Cincinnati pitcher Dick Baney delivered a dream night as he led the Reds to a 2-1 win over the San Diego Padres, clinching the National League Western Division title.

Vukovich Wins Michigan 250 After USAC Appeal ruling
INDIANAPOLIS AP Billy Vukovich officially won last week's Michigan 250 after USAC three man appeals board reversed a one lap penalty for passing the pace car. Testimony showed Vukovich was waved past by pace car driver Paul Russo. Gary Bettenhausen moved to second, Johnny Rutherford to third, and Roger McCluskey to fourth. The result does not affect McCluskey's USAC National Driving Championship win. The victory marked Vukovich's first national triumph and moved him from sixth to fifth in points this year.
