"If Mr. Griffith had made trade just for the sake of making a trade I don't think I would have accepted it," said Carew, who can veto any trade. Griffith said he received offers from New York and Kansas City. The most bantered about deal had the Yankees offering the Twins pitcher Dick Tidrow, first baseman Jim Spencer, cash and a minor league player.

But Griffith quickly turned that down. Kansas City's offer was refused because Griffith said it didn't include rookie first baseman Clint Hurdle. Carew, who is being paid about $190,000 in the last year of his three-year contract, said he was not adverse to going to the National League, but if a reasonable contract could be worked out, he would prefer to end his career in Minnesota. "A lot has been taken off my shoulders and I really feel good right now," Carew said. "Hopefully at the end of the year we can sit down and talk some more about a contract settlement." Griffith said his door was "always open," but Carew, who would like a 10-year pact at about $3 million, says he won't negotiate now until the season is over.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) Rod Carew showed up at Metropolitan Stadium Wednesday night wearing a 10-gallon hat and a western-style jacket, but the six-time batting champion won't be leaving the Twins and riding off into the sunset at least not this season. Minnesota owner Calvin Griffith said he was terminating efforts to trade the 32-year-old first baseman because offers made by other American League clubs were not "satisfactory." "We couldn't see anything satisfactory in the offers we received from other teams," said Griffith, who had many of the other league owners drooling this week at the prospect of picking up the league's Most Valuable Player in 1977. "And, of course, we thought Rod could help us," said Griffith, who is well aware of Carew's .388 batting average last season and his .335 lifetime mark. Carew, who spurned a $2 million offer over five years by Griffith last week, hinted that it might be better for all concerned if he was traded before tonight's midnight deadline.

But Carew also said he wasn't surprised that a deal was not made. "I really felt there wasn't enough time," he said. "If you're going to make a big trade you have to really get in-evolved and get the players that you striking out two dangerous batters in Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski on a total of seven pitches. In other National League games, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-1, the Los Angeles Dodgers stopped the New York Mets 5-3, the Pittsburgh Pirates whipped the Houston Astros 6-4, the Atlanta Braves downed the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 and the San Diego Padres took a doubleheader from the Montreal Expos, 6-2 and 1-0.

Reds 3, Cubs 1 Manny Sarmiento, making only his third start of the season, teamed with two relievers on a four-hitter to lead Cincinnati over Chicago. Sarmiento, one of the Reds' most effective relievers this year, struck out four and walked two in five innings of two-hit ball. Dave Tomlin and Doug Bair blanked the Cubs the rest of the way with Bair recording his 11th save. Dodgers 5, Mets 3 Bill Russell's two-run, tiebreaking double in the seventh triggered Los Angeles over New York. Steve Garvey By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer When Vida Blue was pitching for the vastly depleted Oakland A's in recent years, the running wisecrack was usually, "Blue, then who?" Now that he's pitching for the San Francisco Giants these days, nobody asks such questions.

The Giants have one of the best staffs in baseball and those infrequent times when Blue is in hot water, there's usually someone efficient like Randy Moffitt to bail him out. Like Wednesday. "That was a super job, just beautiful," said Blue after the Giants' ace relief pitcher preserved a 2-1 victory for the Giants over the Philadelphia Phillies. Blue was aiming for his first National League shutout before running into trouble in the ninth. Pinch-hitter Dave Johnson doubled and scored on Jerry Martin's single and after Martin was moved to second base on a sacrifice, Moffitt came into the game.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Flyers traded three veterans to Pittsburgh for the Penguins' first-round pick in today's amateur National Hockey League draft in an effort to return the team to its championship status. Flyers General Manager Keith Allen announced the trade of center Orest Kindrachuk, left wing Ross Lonsberry and defenseman Tom Bladon at a press conference Wednesday night in Montreal. The Flyers were to select the sixth, seventh, and 15th players available in the first round. They also will get two secondround picks and two in the third.

"This gives us more high picks than we've ever had before," said Allen Wednesday night. "We feel there's going to be some excellent young players available at this level, and we're going to be working to make sure that we make no mistakes."

"We had come to the conclusion that we just had to make some Allen said.

"We've been trying desperately this week to make changes on both the draft front as well as the player front. It's been frustrating.

In a report released Tuesday, the Game Commission said there were 247 hunting accidents, including 10 of them that were fatal. The previous best year for safety was 1976, when 13 hunters were killed. Three of the 10 fatal accidents involved self-inflicted injuries, the Game Commission said. Four of the remaining seven fatalities involved persons who were shot in mistake for game, which the commission called "perhaps the most tragic of all fatal mishaps." By comparison, there were 72 fatal hunting accidents in 1931 and 65 in 1927, when hunters numbered only about 40 percent of those afield today.

Game officials credit the hunter education course, which is mandatory for all youths under the age of 16, as the big reason for the sharp drop in the accident rate. In 1968, the year the education course became law, there were 530 total hunting accidents. the New York Rangers' No.l pick when Fred Shero resigned as coach and joined the Rangers as coach-general manager. The 27-year-old Kindrachuk and the 31-year-old Lonsberry were part of the strong checking game Shero used during the Flyers' Stanley Cup championship years in 1973 and 1974. Kindrachuk had been with the Flyers for five seasons.

He scored 17 goals and 45 assists for 62 points in 73 games for the Flyers last season. Lonsberry, who was obtained from the Los Angeles Kings in a multi-player deal in 1972, collected 18 goals and Jo assists last year. Lonsberry teamed with recently retired right wing Gary Dornhoefer and center Rick MacLeish to form the number two line behind the high-scoring line of Bobby Clarke, Bill Barber and Reggie Leach during the Flyers successful years. Bladon spent six seasons with the Flyers and last year set an NHL single- scoreless innings to nail down his seventh save of the year in the Pirates' 6-4 triumph over the Houston Astros Wednesday night. "Our team seems to have a good stretch and then a bad stretch, but if we can put it together like I think we can, we'll take off." The Pirates, who won 96 games last season, but who have been struggling to reach the .500 mark this year, overcame a four-run deficit to take the victory.

A solo homerun by Ed Ott and a three-run blast by Dave Parker paved the way for a four-run Pittsburgh rally the fifth inning against losing pitcher J.R. Richard, 5-7. Pinch-hitter Manny Sanguillen followed with a run-scoring single in the sixth and Willie Stargell drove home the Pirates' final run with a seventh-inning double as Pittsburgh prevented the Astros from collecting their first three-game sweep of the year.
