JT.r Nanne said the North Stare volunteered to be one of the first NHt teams to play preseason exhibition games in Moscow and Leningrad against Soviet club teams. -r Nanne said NHL teams could travel to the Soviet Union as early as3he 1989-90 season and he added that the Stars are willing to go there first for eight to 10 days.

Larry Bird scored 34 points and Kevin McHale 23 Wednesday night in their first start together since last -spring's playoffs, and the Boston CWtics rolled to a 130-99 victory over the New Jersey Nets. With their 34th consecutive regular-Jseason victory in Boston Garden, the -Celtics handed the Nets their seventh consecutive loss. Danny Ainge scored 20 points and Robert Parish 10 before sitting with McHale on the bench for the fourth quarter.

Dennis Johnson, the other member of Boston's starting unit, failed to score, although he had nine assists in helping the Celtics take a 62-42 halftime lead. Bird, showing no sign of the tendinitis in the Achilles tendons that sidelined him for four games, and McHale, starting in his second game since foot surgery last June 22, scored 17 and nine points, respectively, in the first quarter. The Celtics broke away from a 13-13 tie into a 33-21 lead. Bird, who played the first 8:39 of the third quarter, came back for a brief time in the fourth before the Boston bench mopped up. Bird went 6-for-6 from the free-throw fine, giving him the team record with J9 in a row.

He broke the mark of 35 se by Bill Sharman 31 years ago, but s'till is one shy of second place in NBA history behind Rick Barry. fie single-season record of 78 in a ro is held by Calvin Murphy. Tie Nets, who have lost all six of their road games this season, were led by Dwayne Washington with 20 ppints and Buck Williams with 17.

FO FT Reb BCA)lA MM M-A M-A O-T A PF Pte 41 u-a u-ar e-ii 3 zu From Staff, News Service Reports Several NHL team officials complained Wednesday that they don't know or don't like the league's tentative plans for increased competition with the Soviet Union. NHL president John Ziegler and Alan Eagleson, executive director of the NHL Players' Association, met with Soviet officials in Moscow earlier this week concerning plans for four Soviet clubs to play one game each against teams in the NHL's four divisions. The games would count in the standings for the 1989-90 season. They also discussed an annual showdown between the Stanley Cup champions and the top Soviet club team that could start in September, 1989.

Ziegler is expected to issue a statement today. "We were the last ones to know about Ziegler's visit to Moscow," said Phil Esposito, general manager of the New York Rangers. Said Toronto Maple Leafs owner Harold Ballard: "Anyone who would vote for this should be sent over Islanders 7, Penguins 1 Pittsburgh, Pa.
