Twenty games into the sea- on, he was averaging 22.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and a .447 field-goal “I always knew I could play better than last year if I started feeling better. ” — Boston’s Larry Bird percentage, and his chances of join ing Bill Russell and Wilt Chamber- lain as the only NBA players with three consecutive MVP awards did not look bright. Statistics, of course, never tell the whole story with Bird, but his intan gibles probably couldn’t overcome his being 12th in the NBA in scoring and a 75 percentage-point drop in his shooting percentage. In the last 38 games, however, Bird is averaging 26.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, is hitting 49.2 percent from the field and scored 20 or points 36 times.

Two baseball stars accept penalties Associated Press Dave Parker, the Cincinnati Reds’ slugging outfielder, and A1 Holland, the New York Yankees’ relief pitcher, said Monday they would comply with the penalties handed down by baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and avoid suspend sions for their involvement in drugs. Parker and six other major leaguers were handed one-year sus pensions by Ueberroth unless they agreed to pay 10 percent of their sal aries to drug rehabilitation pro grams, accept periodic drug testing and perform public service work. At the Yankees’ training camp in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Holland said he would accept Ueberroth’s penal ties as an alternative to a 60-day sus pension.
