B-2 The Daily Pantagraph, Aug. 4, 1980 Bonnett captures Talladega National race oit the heels of his victory in the Pocono 500 a week earlier at Long Pond, Pa. He became the 12th different winner in the 12 years of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing's Talladega 500 at the Alabama International Motor Speedway. Bonnett's Mercury had a winning speed of 166.89 mph, netting Bonnett a purse of $35,175. "Two in a row is really nice," Bonnett said.

"We have been close the last two times here. I really wanted to win at Whitaker leads Tigers past Mariners DETROIT (AP) Lou Whitaker drove in a pair of runs to back the combined six-hit pitching of Roger Weaver, Dave Rozema and Aurelio Lopez as the Detroit Tigers defeated Seattle 4-3 Sunday to complete a four-game sweep and hand the Mariners their ninth consecutive setback. It was a hell of a race." Yarborough picked up $20,600 for his second-place finish. The lead, changed 36 times among 11 drivers during the race, which was run in 13 seconds less than three hours. With the fast pace dropping one leader Blue Angels place third at Washington WASHINGTON The Bloomington-Normal Girls Softball Association's 13-15 division team placed third of 12 teams at the Washington Invitational held Friday through Sunday.

The Blue Angels came out of the loser's bracket and posted a 5-2 record. A team from St. Louis placed first, followed by Washington, the Blue Angels and Moline. Legion baseball results 5:30 League AT O'NEIL PARK LEAGUE 3 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME after another, the race was reduced from 12 cars in the lead draft in the early going to only five at the end. Hard-charging Buddy Baker, pole-sitter with a 198.545 mph qualifying speed, led through most of the early going, but engine trouble put his Oldsmobile out on the 61st of the 188 laps.

Baker clearly had the fastest car until the engine trouble. A caution flag on lap 178 gave Bonnett and Yarborough a chance to take on tires and gas for the final laps, but also put Earnhardt, Johnny Parsons and Gant in a position to catch the two leaders.

(AP) Duke Snider, Brooklyn's Duke of Flatbush, Al Kaline, a man for the Detroit Tigers, oldtime slugger Chuck Klein and Boston owner Tom Yawkey were inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in colorful ceremonies Sunday. The four new inductees made a total of 173 players, umpires and executives in the baseball shrine. Of the 47 living members, 25 were on hand to honor the new inductees including Snider's Dodger teammates, Roy Campanella and Sandy Koufax. Two other Dodgers, Ralph Branca, the man who gave up the famous home run to Bobby Thomson in the 1951 playoff, and Carl Erskine, who was warming up with him that day, also attended the ceremonies. Retired Detroit catcher Bill Freehan was the only Tiger teammate of Kaline's to attend.

"Entrance into the Hall of Fame means that Chuck will live on forever," said his great nephew.

Perhaps the highlight of the touching afternoon was the acceptance by Hall of Famer Ted Williams of the plaque in honor of Yawkey, the late owner of the Boston Red Sox. "He was a man I loved," said Williams, "and a great sportsman. When I would sign a contract with him, he would always ask me if I was satified." Williams received one of the largest hands of the day as he was introduced with the other living members of the Hall of Fame. It was the first time he has returned here since his own induction in 1966. He spends his summers fishing in Canada.

He paid tribute to his wife, two sons and father and mother who were in the audience. The white-haired Snider, who started turning gray as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers' Boys of Summer in the middle 1950s, thanked all his former teammates, managers, the press and the fans for the honor. Snider was the focus of one of the great baseball arguments in New York in the 1950s when the city had three teams.

The Yankees' star was Mickey Mantle, the Giants' leader was Willie Mays and Snider keyed the Dodgers. All were center fielders and fans talked endlessly about who was best. "It was one of the rare times Casey Stengel was laconic when he was asked that question," said Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. "His answer was, he would take all three of them."

COLFAX used a two-run home run by Gary Evans in the bottom of the seventh to win the first game over Bloomington.
