Budgets continue a busy weekend by facing Seattle Peterbilt, the league lead ing of Dave Wilson and the batting contributions of John Green and Sonny Phillips. Perhaps not quite as fast as in his prime, Earnest relied control, placement and a good changeup to handcuff the Pan-American Games champions.

Pirates' night the first time he stepped up to the plate, struck out, was booed and didn't mind. Instead of venting his anger at the reaction of the 45,309 fans in Three Rivers Stadium, the largest turnout at a Pirates game this season, Parker bore down.

He went 3-for-4, including a three-run homer that won the first game of Pittsburgh's twi-night double-header sweep of the Phillies, 6-3 and 5-1 Friday. Jim Bibby pitched a five-hitter in the National League baseball nightcap. "I hear them all the time but that's the fans peroga-tive," said Parker, the league's most valuable player in 1978. "They pay their money to come here and they have the right to boo. I go out and do my job.

"Frankly, I have been accustomed to playing in front of small crowds in this city and it's nice to have them out regardless of what they say." Willie Stargell also homered for Pittsburgh and Mike Schmidt had his 38th home run, tops in the majors, for the Phils. The sweep brought Pittsburgh to games behind first-place Montreal. The Expos did their job by socking New York Mets 10-6. Elsewhere in the NL, Houston beat Atlanta 4-1, Los Angeles rocked San Francisco 11-3, St. Louis topped Chicago 4-2 and San Diego bested Cincinnati 6-4.

Chances best for Ruth clubs Cheating is also nurtured by inadequate penalties. In hockey, Mcintosh said, a five-minute penalty for physically assaulting on opponent is no penalty at all. To him, that sort of thing calls for banishment, game suspensions and loss of income. It's doubtful that hockey will crack down as long as paying customers and the media condone and encourage violence. But Mcintosh believes that sports governing bodies are moving in that direction.

"In the Rugby Football Union (in Britain) in the last five years a tremendous number of players have been sent off the field for violations," he pointed out. "Now the governing body has said that no player sent off may represent England in international matches an indication it is becoming aware of cheating and violence and is increasing the penalty to fit the crime." Mcintosh also hopes athletes themselves will blow the whistle. In the meantime, he says, there are two ways to curb rule-breakers. The first is to use more game officials and impose stricter penalties. The second is to eliminate officials altogether.

Ridiculous? Not at all, Mcintosh argues. "In football 100 years ago there were no officials and there were no penalties. If a player consistently broke the rules his own captain sent him off. If you wanted to play the game, you had to observe the rules. "Immorality and rule breaking greatly increase when you have officials.

Without them, the players must have inner control. This is still the case in sports like squash or pickup team games. "The ideals of fair play are not being kept alive in the stadiums but on the sandlots. It's on the sandlots without an official telling them what and what not to do that kids' ideas of justice are given expression." In youth sports, Mcintosh said, "the two real sinners are coaches and hockey mothers. Their behaviour can be positively appalling in the things they're encouraging little kids to do.

"The rules of fair play will be kept alive by the kids when the adults are not involved. Very young children do not cheat. They have violent arguments, but they do not cheat. "Cheating comes later, when they're taught by adults." By JIM CRERAR Times Staff If the late Vince Lombard! was right, it's okay to cheat. Lombardi, who built Green Bay Packers into a National Football League dynasty in the mid-1960s, was the man who is supposed to have said that winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Peter Mcintosh is no Vince Lombardi. He's a highly qualified teacher, authority on sport and education, and author of a new book on sports and ethics, Fair PJay, the first edition of which was published in London in March. The 63-year-old resident of Leather-head, Surrey five miles from the site of the famed Epsom Derby is a visiting professor this summer at the University of Victoria. "If winning is the only thing," Mcintosh reasoned, "then fair play becomes anything officials allow or fail to see." Mcintosh holds some impressive credentials. He has a degree in philosophy from Oxford University, served for 15 years as senior inspector of physical education in London, was deputy director of physical education at the University of Birmingham, taught four years at the national school of physical education, Otago University, New Zealand, and is a former member of the British Sports Council, the U.K.

government advisory board. "I've become aware of double standards in sports teachers and coaches saying one thing and doing another," he said. "They pay lip service to sportsmanship but they psych up their players to bash an opponent and take him out of the game." Mcintosh doesn't agree with Lom-bardi's philosophy, although he admits the former Packer coach at least avoided hypocricy. Mcintosh defines fair play as "having your own standard of behaviour irrespective of what a referee does or does not allow, or can or cannot see." He admits, though, that cheating is becoming more common. "It's increasing because of the rising levels of performance necessary for success.

There's a psychological tendency to cut corners because of this pressure. "Take the discus or javelin thrower. He can't win without using steroids. The level of performance has become so high he cannot succeed without resorting to forbidden methods." SENIOR LACROSSE FINALS Best 2 out of 3 games. MON.

Brian Martin also homered as Firefighters scored their second victory.

Saanich edged Prince George 7-6 Friday morning, in a game carried over from the previous night, and was in position to make it two straight this morning in the 13-year-old Babe Ruth showdown at Reynolds Park.

Crenshaw, 27, one-stroke leader with a 69-67 136, does not think it unreasonable that someone will assemble four sub-par rounds on the the par-70 course that Ben Hogan dubbed The Monster.

"The course is playing soft," Crenshaw said. "You can hit almost any club to the green and it will stop. The fairways are soft too; balls are not rolling off the fairways, are not falling off the greens."
