TODAY'S V. 1 PARADE 1 By MILTON RICHMAN Double-Setback For Luis Tiant NEW YORK (UPIt -Most heart-tugging tragedy of the entire year in sports was Luis Tiant's loss of his father and mother, one right after the other, during the past few days. After his father died of a heart attack last Friday, the Boston pitcher had a nagging premonition that something might happen to his grieving mother. He felt she knew that also but didn't want to tell him because it would only make him feel worse. Luis Tiant.

an outstanding pitcher in his native Cuba, was as big a hero there as Adolfo Luque. Mike Gonzalez and Minnie Minoso. I'll never forget him standing off to a side underneath the stands at Fenway Park waiting patiently while Luis. was being mobbed for his autograph after shutting out Cincinnati in the 1975 World Series' opener. A special cop.

who didn't know 'who he was. came up to him and wanted to know why he was standing there waiting. "That's my son." explained the elder Tiant. pointing toward Luis. Jr.

The cop said, "he's a great pitcher." Luis Tiant. merely smiled. ''He's an even better son." he Joe Namath's future with the Jets is up in the air and won't be decided until after the Pro Bowl Game on Jan. 17. A lot will depend on how the new coach the team will pick feels about having Namath next season and how Namath feels about it himself.

"It will be a common decision." says Jets' general manager Al Ward, "depending upon the new coach, upon Joe and upon us. We haven't actually made a decision yet one way or the other." The House Select Committee on Professional Sports gave Bowie Kuhn to understand that it won't be satisfied with merely a "Rent-A-team'' in Washington in. 1978. They, let him know this past weekend they want no part of a team like Baltimore playing only a few games there as was proposed at the baseball meetings in Los Angeles last week. They want a full time baseball team, and nothing less, so it's back to the drawing board Reds' manager Sparky Anderson has this to say about all the big money payments to free agents: not against the big stars getting as much as they can.

but the jokers, the rinky-dinks. never! It's the same way in Hollywood. For years. John Wayne has com- manded big money. He deserved it.

But you don't pay third-raters the same thing you pay him. Baseball isn't really that different. It's part of society. What are we to tell the kids in our society? They see all this and what are they to think? I'm no moralist, but this is wrong, dead wrong. What we're saying, in effect, is money is everything and nothing else in the world counts or matters." Deron Johnson, one of the best-liked individuals in all baseball, turned down a coaching offer from the Red Sox.

He has himself a boat in San Diego and prefers to go fishing for tuna Jimmy Connors and Marjorie Wallace, the former Miss World, have split up Roone Arledge, President of ABC Sports and the man who made Howard Cosell. is no longer happy at that network.

His heir apparent is Herb Granath. executive Vice President of Andy Russell, the Steelers' veteran outside linebacker, who was on the verge of retiring at the end of last season, will do it for sure following this one.

Only reason he came back this year was because he felt the Steelers had a shot at three in a row. He was right. They still have a shot at Before trading Richie Zisk to the White Sox. the Pirates talked about him with the Brewers, but the Brewers lost interest when Pittsburgh insisted upon rookie Gary Beare. a big.

The Spartans dominated the boards, but had to fight for their win (Daily News Photo by Tom Bowman) CHICAGO (DPI) An all- time record 19,690 fans came into the Chicago Stadium Tuesday night to "visit" Julius "Dr. Erving of the Philadelphia 76ers. But the "doctor" was stripped of his bag of tricks as the Chicago Bulls ran to a 10188 victory.

It was the Bulls' third straight win and stopped the 76ers winning streak at three. Erving was held to only nine points, 11 below his average, by Scott May, who made his first NBA start, and Mickey Johnson. Johnson shared Bulls' scoring honors with center Artis Gtlmore, each with 18 points. Gilmore collected 16 rebounds and Johnson 14. May had 16 points.

"We got a secret weapon in Scott May," said Chicago Coach Ed Badger. "I don't think May made more than one mistake the whole game. Ever see a rookie with that kind of poise? If he's not rookie of the year they should quit giving out the award. "The Doctor was shooting poor. He wasn't going to the hoop." Of his first NBA start, May said, "I felt the pressure but more than anything 1 didn't want to mess I wanted Erving to take the long shot." Erving was 4-15 from the floor.

Braves 108, Suns 99 They were the most productive games ever for two guards who sparked their teams to important victories Tuesday night. Ernie DiGregorio scored a career-high 36 points in leading Buffalo to a 108-99 triumph over the Phoenix Suns. The victory broke Buffalo's four- game losing streak and was the team's first win since all-pro center Bob McAdoo was traded to the New York Knicks last Wednesday. Orleans, Pete Mara- vich scored 51 points, the best of his seven-year NBA career, to help the Jazz defeat Kansas City in the first game under new head coach Elgin Baylor. DiGregorio, who regained his starting position this season after being consigned to the bench last year by former Braves' Coach Jack Ramsey, received a standing ovation from Buffalo fans with 10 seconds left in the game after scoring 14 points in the third period and 10 in the final period.

The six-foot guard sank 14 of 23 shots from the field and all six free throw attempts, giving him a streak of 49 straight. Randy Smith added 22 points for Buffalo and John Shumate had 21. Ricky Sobers led Phoenix with 23 points. Jazz 120, Kings 117 Maravich, theNBA's leading scorer, got 20 of his 51 points in the third quarter as he broke his previous personal high of 50 points set when he played for the Atlanta Hawks. Tne game was played before 6,129 fans, the smallest crowd in the Louisiana Superdorhe CHRISTMAS GIFT STORE IM LEBANON this year, and the victory came just hours after the Jazz fired Coach Butch Van Breda KoHf and replaced him with Baylor.

Baylor, a former star with the Los Angeles Lakers, retired from the NBA three seasons ago as the NBA's third all-time leading scorer and served as Van Breda Kolff's assistant since 1974. Hawks 106, Lakers 104 Ken Charles stole an inbounds pass and sank an off- balance, 22-foot shot at the buzzer to cap a frantic Atlanta rally. Los Angeles held a 104-97 lead with 90 seconds but Atlanta hit three free throws and Lou Hudson and Tom Barker scored baskets to set up Charles' winning shot. Hudson scored 32 points for the Hawks, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar led Los Angeles with 31. Spurs 111, nicks 98 Billy Paultz and Larry Kenon each scored 28 points to lead San Antonio, which led by 10 or more points through the last three periods.

The Knicks, who dressed only eight players because of injuries, were paced by Earl Monroe's 22 points. Trail Blazers 104, Rockets 84 Bob Gross scored 16 of his game-high 22 points in the first period to spark Portland to its 13th straight home victory this season and 21st in a row since last season.

Lebanon ran its winning streak to six with a 64-50 win over Cocalico, a team expected to be very tough in Section One of the Leb-Lan loop, while Cedar Crest had its losing streak extended to five games by a tall Boyertown club, 62-38. Lebanon got a season-high 20 points from big center Sam Bowie and a like-wise season- high output from Tabb Bickell with 15, 13 in the first half. Jon Lebo tacked on 11 and a hustling Todd Wolfe had eight.

Phii Fassnacht topped Cocalico with 19. The Cedars jumped out to a 1G-8 first-period lead and increased their margin by six in a 2i-point second stanza. The second half was played on even terms. Lebanon shot 24 for 36 from the foul line. Lebanon will try to equal its longest winning streak in six years when it hosts Lancaster on Friday night.

Unbeaten Boyertown reeled off 24 straight points in the first period en route to a 3212 margin as 6-8 senior Randy Alter, son Palmyra High cage coach Jim Alter, and 6-5 junior Harry Gerlott led the way. Alter finished with 22 points and Gerlott 19, while Scott Gilbert chipped in with 11. Adam Katz was the lone Falcon in double figures with 12. Boyertown came out in a man-to-man press, which was very effective and the Bears displayed an unstoppable fast break. The loss was the second straight at home for Cedar Crest after it won 17 in a row.

JV Ceeter Crett tcyertcvn 4O. By JEFF YOUNG Daily News Sportswriter PALMYRA One of these days the Capital Area Conference may have to schedule therapy sessions for its basketball coaches on Wednesdays and Saturdays. That is, if anyone cares for the sanity of these guys. Maybe some sort of primal scream thing would work where you get them all in a gym and they can rant on and on. If you think that only the losers would subscribe to this service, you weren't at the Milton Hershey Palmyra game last night.

CAMTAl USKITtAU Pet. HF-R3HEY 3 1 Cumberland Valley 3 7W Miodtotown 3 1 .750 Lo-er 3 1 .750 MILTON HERSHtY. 2 2 .500 1 3 iSfl Mertianintuni 1 3 Rtd Liml 1 3 350 1 Even though the Spartans won, 63-54, over their hosts, they didn't do it without throwing a few shivers into John Cook in the finrJ period. And if he had one of those therapy sessions to tend today Palmyra coach Dave Vallen would likely spend it grabbing a basketball as it bounces off the backboard just to assure himself it can be done. Right now there might be one CAC boss who wouldn't need this idea that man being Frank Etehbergrr of Hershey High, a 99-71 winner over Mechanicsburg last night.

But, leaving him alone in his relative bliss, consider Cook, who was gasping for breath after his warriors barely floated on a 15-point lead in the final 2:05, needing free throws from Bob Potts and By Smith in the last 21 seconds to chase the Cougars. "You try to build up a little experience in your bench, He shook his head. Cook had sent Vern Cliett. Bob Lynn, George Parris and Don Poole onto the floor with the Spartans in command, 57-42. and two minutes left.

Palmyra, pressing and desperate, forced the reserves into some backcourt turnovers and made them count, scoring 12 straight points to pull within five. Half a minute remained. Bob Kapp was responsible for seven of the 12 points in that stretch, with two jumpers and a bank-shot drive that drev an Al Green foul at :59. Moments later. Green fouled Bill Kreiser.

Al took the foul a little too hard and was slapped with a technical. Kreiser hit two, Scott Heatwole sank the technical and Kapp followed with his second jumper. "I think we have probably as good depth as they do," Cook said, "but our depth went in there too loose, tonight. They were cold, they didn't warm up enough, they didn't get serious quick enough. "They have to recognize, even with a 15-point lead, nobody's gonna fold up especially this year." Cook was able to see improvement in his team since Friday night's 62-46 sleepwalking loss to Hershey, "but I'm still unhappy with the way they're rfacting.

One of the problems is they're anticipating someone to be there, but they're not making certain before they pass." Cook said he felt the Cougars missed injured Greg Sarabok, at least in the outside shooting department. "When they have Sarabok, they've got three good outside shooters (with Kapp and Heatwole). and you've got to play them straighten." Sarabok's absence made the Spartan zone more effective, and Milton Hershey pressured the Cougars with 14 steals that led to gaps of 41-29 and 45-31 in the third period. But in the Palmyra locker room, a dour Vallen simply held out a sheet and said, "That's the story." The sheet showed the rebound totals, 57 for the Spartans and 24 for Palmyra. "How can you beat anyone like that?" Vallen wondered aloud.

"We didn't play aggressive They did and we didn't. We were probably a little bit scared of them, they're bigger and more aggressive." On playing without Sarabok, "It's hard to say for the East Pennsboro game (which Palmyra lost, 4ft- 47) we definitelly needed him, another ballhandler. But it takes a team to win. "Personnel-wise I think they have some of the best players in the CAC, but I don't think they played their best ball tonight," Vallen said of this conquerors. "I think it was more a matter of who played worse, and we just played worse.

"We have a tendency to get sloppy. I think," Vallen said. "All the teams in the CAC are about equal, and thi im that wants it the most be the best." Until that's settled by the players, there likely will be more than one or two frazzled coaches around here. Hershey's scoring demon named Ken Richter enjoyed himself with 24 points last night, pacing the Trojans all the way from their first- quarter blues to a big win. He opened up with seven points in the first period, But Rick Whitcomb canned eight of his total 14 and Mechanicsburg held a 20-15 edge.

Hershey came alive in the second period, as Richter poured in 10 points and John Albanese added eight. The Trojans cracked open a 42-33 lead, and built on that in the third quarter. Richter and Mark Gaydos tallied seven each in the third period, then Etchberger emptied bis bench in the fin a) quarter and everyone got a hand in the action. Scott Suhring pumped in seven and Chris Ktchberger added sLx in the final quarter. Hershey dominated the boards, 36-21, and turned the ball over only 13 times as opposed to the Wildcats' 20 errors.
