Billy Williams homered with a man on base in the first inning and Carmen Fanzone hit for the circuit with two aboard in the sixth to power the Cubs to a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers. Although rapped for 13 hits, Burt Hooton yielded a run to the Dodgers only in the third on singles by Bill Buckner, Willie Davis and Frank Robinson. [The Sporting News]
