Besides the five straight victories, the NL has won 13 of the last 14 All-Star confrontations. “The starting assignment is a treat in one respect. Not many guys get to do this,” said Palm er, whose career record is 20-11 against the Yankees. “The All- pressure I put on myself. It’s an inner thing,” Bartkowski said Monday as he joined rookies, free agents and a few veterans in the first day of workouts at the team’s training camp. “There were those long and cold days of rehabilitation at Atlanta Stadium with few people around,” he said. “Re flecting back on my three ex pensive years, I had to mature or drop out. ” UB F ' ’ FW? * I H wMEsS M a NEW YORK - Mike, the young sou of New York Yankees' third baseman Gralg Netties, left, makes an outfield catch Monday during batting practice at Yankee Stadium for Star Games really haven’t been so one-sided recently. Only the results have been.” The AL’s chances would seem better if injuries had not ran sacked its pitching staff. Out with assorted ailments are Mark Fidrych of Detroit, Frank Tanana of California and Vida Blue of Oakland. California’s Nolan Ryan refused to play, leaving the AL with only three starting pitchers and four re lievers. “Despite all our injuries, I still think we have an out standing squad and we’re going to break that (losing) streak,” AL President Lee MacPhail said Monday. Chub Feeney, the NL presi dent, smugly countered Mac- Phail’s pep talk by saying, “We expect to do what we usually do.” Sutton relishes the opportun ity to start for the NL, a dream come true for the pitcher who wanted to become a Yankee during the team’s penny-pinch ing days. “Only the fact that the Yan kees weren’t willing to pay me more than $2,000, and I would have played in Yankee Stadium before,” Sutton said. “I spent all my childhood dreaming of one day pitching in Yankee Sta dium. “I grew up on a farm in Pen sacola, (Fla.), and I occupied my days pitching mental shut outs with Mickey Mantle mak ing the last out catching the ball near the monuments.” Sutton won’t be on the mound to watch the final out, giving way to another pitcher, prob ably after three innings if NL Manager Sparky Anderson’s game plan is not torpedoed by the AL bats. It was somewhat of a surprise that Anderson, the Cincinnati skipper, was starting Sutton, with whom he has had a running feud, accusing the Dodgers’ ace of illegal pitching practices. Anderson maintains that Sutton attempts to make a round ball square, or some other shape, through some devious method. “I knew I was a cinch to start when I got a note from Sparky last week asking me what grain of sandpaper I wanted him to order,” joked Sutton. Before Anderson’s announce ment, Cincinnati’s Tom Seaver was expected to get the starting nod, giving the New York fans an opportunity to welcome him back following last month’s trade from the Mets to the Reds. Seaver will pitch some time, said Anderson, whose pitching staff is weighted down by in juries to John Candelaria of Pittsburgh, Steve Carlton of Philadelphia and Joaquin Andujar of Houston.

By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Ted Turner in Courageous and Low ell North in Enterprise match up today in the fourth day of America’s Cup observation trials in a battle of fender-bend ers. It will be the second meeting in the July yacht racing series, which will help pick a boat to defend Yankee honor for the 23rd time in history’s oldest continuous international sport ing event. In their first meeting last Saturday, the two boats bumped three times and the New York Yacht Club’s protest committee ruled that Courageous was at fault for bearing into a leeward boat and for tacking too close. On Monday, Enterprise and Independence, skippered by Ted Hood, split a pair of races, North winning by 2 minutes 19 seconds in the first, a drastical ly shortened race in light winds, and Hood winning the second by 49 seconds. Courageous and Independ ence are stablemates owned by the Kings Point Syndicate and after Monday’s races Turner was pacing around the dock. “Hey, Ted,” someone said, “If you and North race tomor row, do you think you can keep out of each other’s way?” Turner stopped in the middle of an interview and said, “I sure hope so. The protest cut into my cocktail hour.” Along the more serious vein, Turner said he thought the in- "SIGNS DON'T COST...

With A Smile” cident was “something we can learn from. I’ve never been in volved in a protest before, and this one came under odd cir cumstances.” Turner was speaking of a little-used tactic that North em ployed. He forced Courageous away from the buoy, which the rules allow only if the aggressor boat also steers clear of the mark. North was on the leeward side of Courageous at the second leeward mark, and thus had the right of way, the New York Yacht Club’s protest com mittee said. The committee also ruled that Turner had tacked too close to Enterprise. “The committee tells us ex actly why we were wrong,” Turner said, “and hopefully we won’t get in the same trouble again.” Doubles deadline Wednesday Wednesday at noon will be the deadline for registration for the Doubles Jamboree to be played Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the tennis courts at City Park.
