Munn Honored in Hall of Fame and Astros Dome Size
Michigan State’s former athletic director Biggie Munn was elected to the United States Helms Hall of Fame for his 18 years directing MSU athletics. Mel Stottlemyre posted a 2.87 ERA in 1971 for the Yankees, staying under 3.00 for the sixth time in eight seasons with New York. An estimate projects 207 million rounds of golf in 1972 as courses and players continue to grow. A Japanese trading firm plans to enter the U S horseracing market with Duncan Farm and Shadai Farm in Japan exploring U S operations.

Carlton Extends Winning Streak With 3rd Straight Win
Steve Carlton pitched a three-hitter and hit a homer to lift the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Carlton’s streak reaches 13 straight decisions, and he has 18 of the club’s 40 wins this season. He impressed manager Paul Owens and drew praise comparing him to Sandy Koufax. The Phillies also benefited from a first-inning run via Montanez and Luzinski, with Carlton adding insurance with a homer in the third. Other NL and AL games featured notable performances, including Henry Aaron’s two-run homer for Atlanta and Tom Hal’s win for Cincinnati.
