Duran, the former world lightweight and World Boxing Council welterweight cham pion, faces Moore for the World Boxing Association junior mid dleweight title in a scheduled 15- w* ve round bout at Madison Square Garden. The fight, will be televised on closed circuit and selected pay TV outlets. “Roberto Duran is over the hill but he still has his name and beating him will take me to the big money fights,” said the 24- year-old Moore, who is the least experienced of the current champions with a 12-0 record. “Duran was a great light weight, a good welterweight and a mediocre junior mid dleweight. There’s a big differ ence fighting people at 135 pounds and fighting them at 154. Not only can’t he be as phy sical, he’s a lot older now and he’s not as strong. “I don’t think it will be all that tough a fight. He passed his peak a long time ago and I’m still getting close to reaching mine. For Duran, who is 32 today, the bout will be the 80th of his pro career. He is 75-4 with 56 knockouts. Moore’s pro career consists of only 46 rounds. After ruling the lightweight division in the 1970s and handing Sugar Ray Leonard the only defeat of his career — in June, 1980 to win the WBC welterweight title on a 15-round decision — Duran’s career went into a crash dive. Five months after defeating Leonard at Montreal, Duran abruptly quit in the eighth round of their rematch. He retired briefly and then returned as a junior mid dleweight. After unimpressive victories over Nino Gonzalez and Luigi Minchillo, Duran got a title shot but was beaten sound ly in 15 rounds by WBC cham pion Wilfred Benitez in Janu ary, 1982. His career appeared to be over after being out pointed by unknown Kirkland Laing and barely beating Jimmy Batten last year but he bounced back with an impressive four- round demolition of former welterweight champion Pipino Cuevas in January. Observers say Duran has looked lik the Duran of old in training, putting combinations together, slipping punches and moving well. United Press International The most trouble Darrell Por ter had in his pinch-hit appear ance against Steve Carlton Wednesday night was getting up to home plate. Porter, a left-handed hitter, stroked the game-tying single off perhaps the best left-handed pitcher in baseball during St. Louis’ four-run eighth inning that produced a 7-6 victory over Carlton and the Phillies. Porter was stunned when manager Whitey Herzog sum moned him to hit for winning pitcher Kevin Hagen. “When Whitey called for me, I thought I was going to go in and catch,” Porter said. “And then he told me I was going to hit for Kevin. I just had time to get my glasses cleaned, get my helmet on and get a bat in my hands and I was up there.” Elsewhere in the NL, San Francisco blasted Houston 7-1, Montreal topped Pittsburgh 7-4, Chicago clubbed New York 7-4, San Diego clipped Cincinnati 5- 1 and Atlanta shaded Los Angeles 3-2. BRAVES 3, DODGERS 2 — At Los Angeles, Dale Murphy’s sacrifice fly with one out in the ninth capped a two-run rally that lifted the Braves. Jerry Royster’s bases-loaded single off losing pitcher Dave Stewart’s leg tied the game. EXPOS 7, PIRATES 4 — At Pittsburgh, Andre Dawson drove in four runs with a home run, a single and a sacrifice fly to lead the Expos. Ray Burris pitched 7 1-3 innings to raise his record to 2-2, gaining his first triumph as a starter since he blanked Los Angeles in Game Two othe 1980 NL playoffs. CUBS 7, METS 4 — At New York, Jay Johnstone’s bases- loaded single in the 10th inning drove in two runs to lift the Cubs. PADRES 5, REDS 1 — At San Diego, Whitson pitched a three- hitter and drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single and Terry Kennedy hit a two-run homer to lead the Padres.

Th United Press International OAKMONT, Pa. — The late Henry C. Fowmes Jr., the man who carved Oakmont Country Club’s golf course out of moun tain-top farmland overlooking the Allegheny River, would have liked Jack Nicklaus and his phi losophy. “Golf was never meant to be fair,” Nicklaus said on the eve of the 83rd U.S. Open today on Fownes’ course, where a rookie Nicklaus won his first tourna ment, the 1962 Open. That was Fownes’ philosophy too. “A shot poorly played should be a shot irrevocably lost,” he said in creating a course barren of water hazards, but gluttonously rich in deep bunk ers, thick, toe-tripping rough and bizarrely banked greens. And so, perhaps because of his philosophy, Nicklaus has K repared himself better mental- / for playing this course than some of the younger experi enced members of the field of 156, including early favorite Seve Ballesteros. The younger golfers spent much of their time during the first three rounds of practice complaining about the unfair ness of the course and the tough conditions while Nicklaus quiet ly made some physical and men tal adjustments in his game to make yet another attempt to win what would be a record fifth Open championship. The physical conditions of the course, particularly the rough and the fast greens, he said, are “about as tough as I’ve seen, but I don’t think Oakmont is as tough the way it is set up as some courses we’ve played.

I didn’t murder anybody.” Billy Martin was wondering what could possibly possess George Steinbrenner to fire him a third time. No, he hadn’t gotten word of it yet. He was simply answering questions put to him by repor ters in Cleveland Wednesday night after the Yankees snapped their four-game losing streak with an 8-5 victory over the In dians, and those questions con cerned published reports that Steinbrenner was on the verge of firing him as manager of the New York Yankees again. “I haven’t heard from George all day,” Martin re vealed. He was completely com posed and relaxed. Most of his condition centered around the CHAMPS “CATTCDB rnfflE SAWMOS” Anil- ©ASIEIBAE.!L/S(D)IFinSA[LIl, ©LOWS Yankees’ acquisition of pitcher Matt Keough from the Oakland A’s for a couple of minor leaguers, pitcher Ben Callahan and first baseman-designated hitter Marshall Brant. Martin was elated by the addition of Keough, whom he managed with the A’s and personally re commended to the Yankees. Earlier Wednesday, Martin seemed deeply depressed and was expecting the worst. He was aware that Steinbrenner had flown to Cleveland and that rumors were swirling that the Yankee owner was about to dis miss him for the Yankees’ poor showing so far and for conduct unbecoming a manager. Among the transgressions Martin presumably was going tebe held accounted for was'not showing for a workout in Mil waukee last Thursday; for repe ated conversations he was re ported to have had with a girl sitting near the Yankee dugout during one of the contests with the Brewers; and for taking naps in the manager’s office be fore ball games.
