NEWPORT, R.I. (UPI) the 23rd defense of the prestigious America's Cup begins today with the United States the heavy favorite to retain the "auld mug" in a best-of-seven yachting series against Australia. The race was scheduled to begin at 12:10 p.m. EOT with the weather bureau forecasting winds from the southwest at 14 to 16 knots under a cloud cover along with a slight possibility of Ted Turner, owner of the Atlanta Braves and skipper of the U.S. defender Courageous, played it low key at the final news briefing before the first race between the sleek 12-meter aluminum yachts.

"It's going to be a very interesting series," he said. But despite his modest a loquacious Turner exuded extreme confidence. As Alan Bond, the main backer of the Australian challenge, expressed similar sentiments, Turner leaned back in his chair at the America's Cup press headquarters in the Newport Armory, lit a long, slim cigar and nonchalantly tried to blow smoke rings toward the ceiling. "I think that the boats are very evenly matched as far as crews and expertise are concerned," said. "I think it might be a very interesting series." Palmer helps Orioles close on leaders By United Press International No matter that Jim Palmer is not quite up to par, those otherwise "no name" Baltimore Orioles seem determined to crash the American League East's pennant party anyway.

The Orioles, with Palmer notching his 190th career victory, Monday night pinned a 6-3 defeat on the American League's even lesser-known birds, the Toronto Blue Jays, and in doing so, moved within 2Vz games of the first- place New York Yankees in the AL East. But Palmer, who had a seven-hit shutout for eight innings, didn't pitch the ninth and has completed only four of 12 starts since the All Star break. Over that stretch his record is 5-3, which makes the Orioles' stubborn refusal to fold even more amazing since he's generally regarded as their mealticket. "I feel fine, but I did have a sore spot in my shoulder tonight," said Palmer, who struck out seven and walked three in running his record to 16-11. "I wasn't too encouraged with my performance, but we're playing well and we feel we can take it." Orioles' Manager Earl Weaver, however, didn't seem too concerned over Palmer's struggles of late.

"Palmer has won 16 games and has 50 less hits than innings pitched," said Weaver. "That's a great year. His shoulder's been hurting him. That plus he's old like me and he's had the flu." Meanwhile, it was once again one of those "no-names" Dave Skaggs -coming through with the timely hits that helped Palmer and the Orioles keep pace with both the Yankees and second-place Red Sox, who open up a three-game series against each other tonight in New York. Skaggs drove home two runs with singles in the second and sixth innings.

Since being recalled from the minors at midseason to replace injured first- string catcher Rick Dempsey, Skaggs has been one of the Orioles' most productive hitters. White Sox 7, Twins 3 Bob Coluccio and Oscar Gamble each belted two-run singles during a five-run sixth inning which enabled the White Sox to deal the slumping Twins their fifth straight loss. The win, which went to reliever Dave Hamilton, moved the second-place White Sox within eight games of Kansas City, which was rained out, in the AL West. Rangers 3, Angels 2 Mike Hargrove's two-run single and Dave May's RBI double gave Texas its runs and prevented Nolan Ryan from becoming the AL's first 20game winner. Ryan, 19-14, gave up five hits and struck out nine in the seven inings he pitched.

Astros 7, Reds 2 Cesar Cedeno and Joe Cruz hit two homers each and Bob. Watson also homered for the Astros as J. R. Richard struck but 11 in eight innings and raised his record to 15-11. Mario Soto was bombed for four runs and five hits in three innings and lost his sixth game against two victories.

Mets 4, Expos 3 Lenny Handle's tworun double in the sixth inning lifted the Mets to their victory and enabled Pat Zachry to win his ninth game with the relief help of Bob Apodaca and Skip Lockwood. Tony Perez hit his 18th homer for the Expos, whose Stan Bahnsen dropped his eighth decision. Cards 11, Cubs 9 Ken Reitz hit a two-run homer with Larry Walton cut by Lions PONTIAC (UPI) Eight-year veteran wide receiver Larry Walton was among the casualties Monday when the Detroit Lions got down to the 43-player limit imposed by the National Football League. Rookie linebacker Ron Crosby and second-year guard Ken Long were placed on Detroit's injured reserve list while rookie tight end Orlando Nelson and second-year kicker Fred Steinfort were put on injured waivers by the Lions. Walton, 30, caught only 20 passes last season after missing the 1975 campaign due to a knee injury.

The Arizona State product's best season for the Lions was 1974, when he caught 31 passes. He totaled 169 receptions for the Lions over seven playing seasons and his 26 touchdown passes are the fifth most for a Detroit receiver in his career. Cutting of Walton assures rookie Luther Blue of Iowa State a spot on Detroit's regular season roster. Crosby received ligament damage last Friday night against Cleveland and underwent surgery Saturday morning. Long has had a injury since training camp opened.

They join kicker Benny Ricardo as the only players on Detroit's injured reserve list. Nelson has a knee injury which will eventually require surgery, the Lions said, while Steinfort has a strained thigh muscle. Both could be recalled by Detroit if unclaimed.
