WE DO IT ALL THE TIME / ‘Lone Star War’ moves to The Summit DALLAS (AP) — Round 2 of the “Lone Star NBA War” between the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets will be played in The Sum mit Arena in Houston tonight night. The Mavericks won the first round on a 113-107 decision Wednesday night in a game that fea tured hot words, flying fists and Derek Harper’s career-high 31 points. A1 Wood of Dallas and Steve Har ris of Houston were ejected for fighting before a noisy sellout crowd of 17,007 fans in Reunion Arena. Dallas has already clinched a play off berth and the Midwest Division title. Houston is in the playoffs but the Rockets’ position hasn’t been de termined. “It should be another exciting game,” Dallas Coach Dick Motta said. “This game had enough fire and enthusiasm where the fans got their money’s worth,” Houston Coach Bill Fitch said. “In the old days, you might not have had this kind of a game at this stage of the season.” ed both It was the first meeting between the two teams since Motta accused Fitch of manipulating games to avoid the Los Angeles Lakers as long as possible in the playoffs. Fitch replied by calling Motta’s charges “ridiculous.” Motta was suspended a game by the NBA office for the statement. “It was a crazy game,” Harper said. “The intensity came from the words the coaches exchanged. That’s why we were so emotional.” Harper said he was proud of Wood for standing his ground in an exchange of punches with Harris in the second period that benches. “I told A1 Wood he did a good job,” Harper said. “I like to see that kind of stuff. I wished I had been in it." Wood and Harris were ejected from the game at 5:22 in the second period for exchanging punches. Both benches emptied but none of the blow r s landed.

Lance Parrish, the free—agent catcher who signed with Philadel phia after a prolonged and contro versial negotiation, is suffering. So are the Phillies, off to a 1-7 start. Even Mike Schmidt, who should be brimming with excitement at the prospect of his 500th home run, is in the dumps. Schmidt, just two homers shy of becoming the 14th player in history to hit 500 or more homers, said the problems of the team are much greater than his goal. “We have to turn it around as a team right now'. That’s more an issue with me. That’s where my personal thoughts lie,” he said. Schmidt is not one of the culprits in the horrendous start. He is hitting .345, with three homers and seven RBI. Manager John Felske, a low-key, stoic type, lost his cool after Tuesday night’s giveaway to the New York Mets. He snapped bat handles, stormed into his office and wrecked it. Desk, chairs, and the wastepaper basket all felt the wrath of Felske’s frustration. The manager came to the ball park Wednesday night, his calm re stored. He held a five-minute team meeting in which he told his players to just relax. He never raised his voice. Gone were the unprintable- words with which he described the team’s performance the night be fore. Parrish is hitting .180, with just four hits in 25 at-bats and only three RBI. His defensive skills also have de serted him. He has three passed balls and has been unable to throw any one out. Opponents are 16 for 16 in stolen bases. Parrish is affected by the boos of the Philadelphia fans, who some rate as the worst in baseball. “I’m just trying to do my job as best I can,” said Parrish. “If that isn’t enough for these people, then I know what to do.” Parrish feels that because team’s 1-7 start everything hi or doesn't do, is magnified.‘Bi not a one-man team,"hesakl As one of the most-recogiw- fensive catchers in the game, said he is more concerned defense than his offense. Parrish, who came to the after a falling-out with Detn* money, signed for $800,1 season, with an additional)? if he is not disabled bvachroni ailment. Felske said he has talked*® rish.
