By The Associated Press
BALTIMORE - The Baltimore Orioles wasted
numerous early scoring chances and then beat
the Detroit Tigers 2-1 last night on Mark Belan-
ger's two-out broken-bat double in the seventh
inning.
The hit by Belanger, who also doubled and
scored in the third, enabled the Orioles to end
their four-game losing streak while stopping the
Tigers' four-game winning streak.
Reggie Jackson opened the Baltimore
seventh with a single and moved around to
third on a sacrifice and a fly ball prior to
Belanger's hit. The Orioles earlier hit into
three double plays and another runner was
tagged out trying to score on a tapper to the
mound.
. Jim Palmer, 10-7, won his fourth straight
decision with a five-hitter.
Detroit scored in the fifth on a sacrifice fly
by Bill Freehan following singles by Jason Thomp-
son and Alex Johnson and a sacrifice bunt.
Loser Vern Ruhle, 5-4 was touched for a run-
scoring bases-loaded single by Al Bumbry in the
third. But Brooks Robinson was out trying to score
from second and Detroit followed with its third
double play in three innings.
Yanks stop skid
CLEVELAND - Chris Chambliss slammed a
three-run homer and Lou Piniella added a two-
run shot, helping Catfish Hunter to his 10th
victory, a 7-1 decision for the New York Yankees
over the Cleveland Indians last night.
The triumph ended New York's losing string
at three games and moved them seven games
ahead of the second-place Indians in the
American League East.
Hunter, 10-7, gave up just six hits, including
George Hendrick's 13th home run in the second
inning.
The Yankees chased Cleveland starter Rick
Waits, 2-3, with four runs in the first inning.

Canada "discourages all official contact

want to compromise its China policy
formulated after official ties were es-
tablished with the Peking government
in 1970 and relations were severed with
Taipei.
THE PEOPLE'S Republic of China has
applied for membership in the IOC on
the condition that Nationalist China be
excluded. The issue is expected to be
voiced at the pre-Olympic IOC sessions.
"It is ridiculous for the Canadian gov-
ernment to back out from its written
undertaking to allow entry of all national
Olympic committee delegations, thus act-
ing contrary to the IOC rules and the
Olympic spirit," said Henry Hsu, Na-
tionalist China's IOC representative.
Hsu said that if the Canadian move
remains unchecked, and the IOC should
concede to its principle.
