Willie Stargell and Dave Par ker, the heart of the 1979 championship Pittsburgh Pi rates team, Tuesday continued their exchange of hard words.

As a result he had no one to turn to for help.” “I never played the game out of hate,” he said. “I would have killed for the man (Stargell) un til last night. I have yet to talk to Willie. I think he did it to push the book. I played the game be cause of my family and it was a good way to make money. Never out of hate. “I’ll analyze the whole thing with my legal people,” Parker added. “I’m not going to hesi tate going after him.

He twice led the National League in bat ting and in 1978 was named Most Valuable Player. In other spring training news, Montreal Expos presi dent John McHale says he may seek arbitration to alter the terms of last week’s trade with the San Francisco Giants. The Expos sent first baseman A1 Oli ver to the Giants for pitcher Fred Breining and a player to be named. But Breining re ported with an injured shoulder and may not be ready for the start of the season. “We want him,” McHale said. “However, we don’t want dam aged merchandise.” In exhibition games Tues day, Boston defeated Detroit 8- 4 as Wade Boggs and Jim Rice hit first-inning triples to spark the Red Sox in the spring train ing opener for both teams.

No pitcher on the team comes close to that figure and very few pitchers in tne major leagues can match that statistic. Moreover, Hough has achieved success without much use of a fastball or slider.
