Palmer fames hot Tigers, 2-I; Catfish controls Cleveland, 7-1 Major League Standings 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.

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.
