Nets All-Stai- EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) New Jersey Nets officials say they waived three- time Ail-Star, guard Michael Ray Richardson, who last week acknowledged in his battle against drug dependency, because "there is nothing more we can do." The release came Tuesday when the 28-year-old who over his five-year career averaged 14 points a game and led the National Basketball Association in steals for two seasons refused a league order to report for immediate treatment, said Nets Executive Vice President Lewis Schaffel. But Richardson's agent, Patrick Healy, says his client has not declined treatment, that he has made arrangements to enter a rehabilitation program and that the waiver was "totally a surprise." Schaffel said Richardson was released because he did not obey the league's order to report Tuesday to the Life Extension Institute, a New York City counseling service with which the NBA became affiliated in 1981. Richardson had twice before entered drug rehabilitation centers and held an emotional September news conference to de-, scribe how cocaine abuse had been "killing" him. After a three-day unexcused absence from the Nets training camp last week, the NBA announced that Hicnardson had asked for assistance and been directed to begin immediate treatment.

Domed For San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Mayor Dianne Feinstein has endorsed plans the largest retractable -domed sports stadium in the United States, warning that without it the city could lose the San Francisco Giants. The stadium, previewed in plans to be formally released today, would seat 70,000 and cost up to $227.4 million, depending largely on whether it is publicly or privately financed, the mayor said. It would become home for the Giants and the San Francisco 49ers, which now play in Candlestick Park, and also be available for basketball games and additional exhibition space. Giants owner Bob Lurie has threatened to move the team from San Francisco when his Candlestick lease are 4 considered for fiscal The Public is Invited to Attend.

Daily Sitka Sentinel, Alaska, Wednesday, October Page Draw First Blood son Under aUeague drug policy adopted Sept. 28, athletes may subject to permanent dismissal from the league for involvement with drugs. The policy includes an amnesty period through Dec. 31. Schaffel said he and team owner Joe Taub made the decision to release Richardson and there was no attempt to trade him.

Schaffel said he has not spoken to Richardson and does not know where he is, but that the 28-year-old guard had informed the NBA Players Association that he would not begin the program. "He advised them he is not in need nor will accept help," Schaffel said. "There is nothing more we can do." But Healy told RKO radio sports, "Michael Ray has refused to report. He has in fact been in constant communication with Life Extension (and) with the players association." Healy said a Life Extension representative and Richardson talked late Tuesday and they had selected a facility at which the Texas, native would be beginning today. Richardson is not picked up by another team, the Nets have to pay his guaranteed contract for a reported $475,000 annually.

Asked if there would be any opportunity for Richardson to rejoin the Nets if he overcame his problem, Schaffel said: "He will not play for the New Jersey Nets." By HAL BOCK AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE (AP) Philadelphia's Garry Maddox and Joe Morgan found two of Scott McGregor's 83 pitches to their liking, and, the. home rims proved decisive in the opening game of the 1983 World -Series.

in Brief the 18 man in Series "I to than one could expect in an eight-inning performance. But Morgan's game-tying homer in the sixth inning and Maddox' game-winner in the eighth rendered those numbers inconsequential. All that really mattered was that the Phillies had a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series on the strength of a 2-1 victory Tuesday night over the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles, who live by the home run, scored their only run in that fashion when Jim Dwyer connected in the first inning. But Denny was clearly in control until the first hint of late trouble.

That came in the eighth, but vanished quickly when Manager Paul Owens reached into fi.S to be fastball hitting team. It did not work, though. "I don't know if he was swinging for a fastball, but he smoked it," McGregor continued. "He was his decided. "It was not a good pitch to throw." "A fastball down the noted Dwyer.

He didn't see any more of those, he said. It was to be Denny's only major mistake and, on this night, he could afford only one. as McGregor pitched Morgan laughs at the suggestion that he ought to be doing that just because there were so many candles on his last birthday cake. "First I was too short to play this game," said Morgan, who's all of 5-foot-7. "Now I'm too old.

I don't worry about that." He had supplied the Phillies with their first hit off McGregor in the fourth inning and this time, he tied the score, time I come to the sixth and on the Phillie bench ri hit.

"It was a good pitch," said Morgan. "It was down." After McGregor breezed through the seventh, Maddox opened the eighth for the Phillies. "The previous two at-bats, he had thrown me all fastballs," the Phillie center fielder said. "I figured he'd try to get ahead.

I wasn't going to be taking. If I got a pitch I can handle, -I was going to try and hit it hard." He did that, drilling the first pitch well over the left field fence for the homer that gave the Phillies the lead. McGregor confirmed Maddox' diagnosis. "He hit a fastball pretty much where I wanted to throw it, but he smoked it." In the bottom of the eighth, Denny retiree the first two batters and then gave up a double to Al Bumbry. Owens beat a quick path to the mound, and in came Holland.

"I wasn't out of gas," said Denny, "but I understood what had to be done." "He's a (Goose) Gossage type," Owens said of Holland "My bullpen is great. When we get into the sixth inning, I know which way I'm going." When Holland arrived, Orioles went south for night. "I threw them nothing but fastballs," the left-handed reliever said. the the GRIMSLEY'S SPOR TS WORLD: Reagan Lends Series Hand The-president, wearing a red He didn't mention that he pecia!
