Duran seeking to rejuvenate his
career in title bout with Moore
United Press International
NEW YORK — Roberto
Duran will be fighting tonight to
recapture past glory and Davey
Moore will be looking for his
first taste of it.
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.

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.

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.

The course plays to 6,972
yards and at a par of 71. The
golfers have predicted winning
scores ranging from 4-under to
2-over. They’ve also predicted
that no more than two dozen
and perhaps as few as 10 golfers
have the ability to win at Oak
mont.

“What did I do? 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

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

showing for a workout in Mil

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.
From the way he looked, Mar

years. But he picked upt
