Avoid baseball example
Kuhn warns NFL owners

By HAL BOCK
‘The Associated Press

Bowie Kuhn doesn't need a
picket sign on his office wall
to remind him of the baseball
strike of 1981, and he says
football owners shouldn't
need a law book to see the
message of the free-agency
battle that led to the walk
out.

Kuhn is not in the business
of handing out unsolicited
advice to NFL owners. He
does, however, remember
the advice he gave baseball's
owners and what happened
when it was ignored.

“Ownership was too in-
flexible,” said Kuhn, major
league baseball's ex-commis-
sioner. “People like Phil
Wrigley (then owner of the
Chicago Cubs) and Ed Fitz-
gerald (a part-owner of the
Milwaukee Brewers) and a
few others should have been
listened to. They said bar.
gaining a solution would be
better than having one drop-
ped in our laps.”

In the end, Kuhn said, the
hardliners brought the house
of cards tumbling down.

“There could have been a
better system,” he said.
“Marvin Miller (then head of
the union) would have settled
for less than he got and been
happy to get it. But even
with the destruction of the

the collec-
tive bargaining result was
not too bad and might have

judgment of those (owners)
who bid it up.”

An arbitrator will rule
Monday oh a grievance ac-
cusing baseball owners of
conspiring not to sign some
free agents. And NFL play-
ers could strike Tuesday with
free agency the key issue.

Kuhn, who was the com-
missioner of baseball for 16
years, thinks baseball would
be better off today if owners
had compromised. He said
free agency has been good
and bad for baseball, “but
mostly, it’s been negative.”

“It robbed franchises of the
apparent loyalty of players,
which is important, and it
unreasonably run up the cost
of doing business, although
some owners contributed to
that, too. It’s taken a lot of
the romance from the game.”

Romance is ‘not something
that necessarily concerns
NFL owners. Economics,
however, are another matter.

Free agency in baseball
mushroomed player salaries
from an average $51,501 in
1976, the year before it was
introduced, to $185,651 when
the players struck in 1981, to
$412,520 last season.

It has not exactly des-
troyed the sport, though.

ATTENDANCE SOARS

In 1976, the last year
before free agency, major
league baseball drew more
than 31 million fans. The next
year, with new franchises
added in Toronto and Seattle,
attendance went to more
than 38 million.

No more teams have been
added since then but, except
for the strike season of 1981,
attendance never again has
been below 40 million. It
reached a record 47,506,203
last season. With two weeks
left in the current season,
baseball hoped to reach 50
million, a figure that was
once inconceivable.

Owners argued that free
agency would disturb base.
ball’s competitive balance
with top players flocking to
more desirable cities. Com-
petitive balance, however,
has rarely been better. The
last four World Series have
had eight different teams and
no league champions has re
peated since the Los Angeles
Dodgers and New York Yan

lIronhead
eats up

PITTSBURGH (AP) —
College football, welcome to
the Iron Age.

Craig (Ironhead) Heyward
is ayrunning back, but he’s
built more like The Refrig:
erator than like Walter Pay
ton.

The 265-pound Pittsburgh
junior, the biggest tailback in
U.S. college football, is “the
best back in America right
now,” says Temple coach’
Bruce Arians, whose Owls
visited Pitt Saturday night.

“You can tell just by
watching him, by the en
thusiasm he brings to the
game, how much he loves to
play.” .

Heyward, who has gained
1,546 yards — and 30 pounds
— in a little more than two
college seasons, earned na
tional recognition last season
by running for 254 yards on
39 carries against Miami,
then ranked No. 1

This season, he has rushed
for 251 yards and two touch.
downs, caught three passes
and thrown a TD pass as
16th-ranked Pitt, nationally
ranked for the first time in
four years, has beaten Brig

kees won consecutive titles in
1977-78.

Kuhn said the gains of
baseball are not due to free
agency. He also believes the
baseball players’ union never
was after the carte blanche
free ive sey it got when arbi

etér_Seits dismem:
bored the game's reserve
clause in a ruling that was
subsequently upheld in the
federal courts.
WON BATTLE

“Marvin Miller never bat
tled for free agency,” Kuhn
said. “He was never willing
to strike on the issue. He at-
tacked it from other angles.
He'd always take an adjust
ment and settle. He got
salary arbitration and the 5-
and-10 rule (requiring ap-
proval for trades of 10-year
veterans who had spent the
last five years with the same
team) that way.

Kuhn said so much was
handed to the players, it was
tough to bargain back.

“But the system could have
worked to the benefit of all.
Instead, it went wildly out of
whack with a lot of adversive

when the bottom suddenly
dropped out of the market.
The decision by arbitrator
Tom Roberts could have an
impact on the football situ
ation.

If, for example, Roberts
rules there was no collusion,
football could grant free
agency and then not sign
players, arguing as baseball
did that it was merely exer-
cising economic common
sense.

Kuhn, the attorney, thinks
the baseball owners will pre-
vail on the collusion case.

“I don't know of any evi
dence that satisfies me there
was collusion,” he said.

He does not, however,
think the baseball decision
will change football man-
agement’s opinion of free
agency, even though football
does not enjoy baseball's
anti-trust exemption.

“I don't see the football
owners significantly chang-
ing their view,” he said. “I
think they view baseball free
agency as a disaster and
want no part of it.”

ham Young 27-17 and North
Carolina State 34-0.

There is only one thing
Heyward likes more than
running the football — eat:
ing. And that’s eating at Pitt
coach Mike Gottfried.

COACHING PROBLEM

Gottfried has done every
thing short of obtaining an
injunction against the local
pizza shop to get Heyward to
lose weight.

He has had assistant
coaches chart what Heyward
eats. He even agreed to go on
a diet if Heyward would.
Gattfried lost 45 pounds,
Heyward gained five.

Gottfried once put Hey-
ward on an all-tuna menu —
“until he ate 22 cans in a
day.”

Gottfried, who wants Hey.
ward to weigh 235 or 240,
recently had the former Pas-
saic, N.J., prep all-America
selection chronicle every-
thing he ate in a day.

Heyward came back with a
list that “included every
meat, vegetable and fruit
known to man,” Gottfried
said

By JIM DONAGHY
Associated Press

The players, owners and fans will find out tomorrow
what arbitrator Tom Roberts has decided in the baseball
free agency grievance.

But the man who led the players to super salaries —
former union head Marvin Miller — says no matter what
Roberts decides, the matter will be far from resolved.

The issue is simple: Was there a conspiracy among
the 26 major league clubs not to sign free agents after the
1985 season?

Miller says the decision should be just as simple.

“It's in violation of the agreement,” said Miller,
former executive director of the Major League Players’
Association.

“Simple justice dictates he finds the owners con.
spired.

“For nine years there was a free market, then it
stopped.”

LACK SUBSTANCE

If Roberts finds the owners guilty of collusion, he
could determine a remedy — which may be financial — or
a structural change in free agency, or both. But Miller
says Robert's finding will have very little impact down
the road.

“The decision will not get to the long-range solution,”
Miller said. “It will not deal with the future.”

Miller, who spent 17 years as executive director of
the players’ union, was credited for the free-agent system
which allowed many players to earn instant millions.

When Miller took over as union head, the average
player's salary was $10,000. When he left for the first
time in 1981 it was more than $200,000.

He guided the union through a 50-day strike in 1981
then retired but returned in 1983 before giving way to
current executive director Don Fehr.

LANDMARK CHANGE

Free agency, which was instituted in 1976, was
among the landmark changes engineered by Miller. It
was Miller who fought for a change in the reserve clause,
a system which had bound a player to a team for his
career or until he was traded or sold.

Baseball free agency
decision on Monday

In 1969 Curt Flood, Tim McCarver, Byron Brown and
Joe Horner were traded to the Philadelphia Phillies by
the St. Louis Cardinals for Dick Allen, Cookie Rojas and
Jerry Johnson. Flood refused to report, was suspended,
and sued to become a free agent.

The case eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court
which ruled in 1972 to uphold baseball's antitrust
exemption.

In 1975, arbitrator Peter Seitzan allowed pitchers
Dave McNally and Andy Messersmith to become the first
free agents, saying the reserve clause was illegal. That
decision led to big contracts and sometimes big mistakes
by the owners.

“I knew it (free agency) was going to be a problem,
Messersmith said. “I think the owners made a few faux
pas early on. They didn’t control themselves very well
with the players’ salaries. Now they may be seeing the
error of their ways.”

Messersmith signed a multiyear deal with the
Atlanta Braves for an estimated $1.75 million.

NOT SURPRISED

Miller says he’s not surprised the free-agent market
has seemingly dried up — for whatever the reasons.

“We're dealing with a heritage of 100 years of con-
spiracy,” he said.

The grievance Roberts is considering was filed by
the players’ association on Feb. 2, 1986, after outfielder
Kirk Gibson. The outstanding free agent that winter re-
signed with the Detroit Tigers and reported he had had
no offer from any other team. That winter, only two of 62
free agents — journeymen Juan Beniquez (now with the
Toronto Blue Jays) and Dane org — changed teams.

Last winter, when front line free agents like batting
champion Tim Raines of the Montreal Expos and Morris
received no offers from clubs other then their own, the
players’ association filed another grievance. That action
is currently being heard by arbitrator George Nicolau.

Roberts began hearing the first collusion case last
summer but was dismissed by the owners Aug. 5, 1986.
That dismissal, in the middle of a hearing, was grieved by
the union and subsequently reversed by arbitrator
Richard Bloch, whose decision returned Roberts to the
case.

strike moved a day closer
Saturday, and each side
blamed the other's stand on
free agency for causing the
crisi

A statement issued by the
executive of the NFL man-
agement council said the
owners had made numerous
concessions at a meeting Fri-
day between the two chief
negotiators, John Donlan and
Gene Upshaw.

But, it said, Upshaw's in-
sistence on unrestricted free
agency was the stumbling
block.

Tigers

DETROIT (AP) — Chet
Lemon and Darrell Evans
homered, and Doyle Alexan-
der won his seventh con.
secutive game as the Detroit
Tigers beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 5-2 to take a 1'/
game lead in the American
League East on Saturday.

The Tigers picked up a
game on second-place Tor
onto, which lost 4-2 to the
New York Yankees.

Alexander, 7-0, who came
to Detroit in an Aug. 12 trade
with Atlanta, extended his
string of scoreless innings to
28 before Milwaukee scored
twice in the ninth.

Alexander gave up seven
hits, walking five and strik
ing out six in 8 1-3 innings.
He walked two batters in the
ninth and was relieved by
Mike Henneman, who gave
up a tworun double to Glenn
Braggs.

Chris Bosio, 10-7, gave up
five runs on nine hits in 6 1-3
innings, walking two and
striking out three for Mil
waukee.

Lou Whitaker singled in
the Detroit first, Kirk Gibson
walked and Alan Trammell
singled Whitaker home.

Lemon hit his 18th homer
in the fourth, driving a 3-1
pitch into‘the second deck in
left.

Evans, who the night be-
fore became the first major
leaguer ever to hit 30 home
runs at the age of 40, hit No.

the fifth, a shot into the
second deck in right-center

vention from someone like
Pete Rozelle.

Players A said the
free-agent issue was being
used by management “be-
cause they know that's where
their leverage is with the
players.”

And he added of free
agency: “It’s management
that’s pounding this. If they
just get off of free agency, we
can make a deal.”

Upshaw denied manage
ment's claim that Donlan had
made concessions, adding:
“He never made a specific
proposal in any area.”

And so the second NFL
strike in six seasons looms

The 1982 strike, which
lasted 57 days and cost seven
games of the 16-game season,
also started after the second
Monday night game of the
season.

“The only thing that could
stop it now is a settlement
and I don't see that,” said
Upshaw.

The owners will try to con-
tinue the season, a position
reiterated Saturday.

Many teams are offering
$1,000 US retainers to play
ers cut in preseason and the
management council said in

payrolls for players who are
not on strike.”

The owners have said it's
likely they will skip the third
week of the season to get the
teams together, then resume
playing the following week.

Donlan said management's
latest offer included ant in.
crease in the roster size from
49 men to 45, further. im-
provements in the 17-per.
cent increase in pensions in-
cluded in the previous offer:
retroactive pension increases
for veterans; better pro-
tection for player representa-
tives and “improvements in
other areas.

AL LAING,
MASTER
AVIATOR

“Much have I seen and known, cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,

Myself not least but honered of them all
And drunk the delight of battle with my peers . .
Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson

In this fragment poem Tennyson captures not only
the spirit of the legendary hero of the Iliad and the
Odyssey, but the spirit of a rare and special breed of men
who make their periodically throughout the
panorama of history from earliest times to now.

As such, they live life more fully, more completely,
more joyously than other men and by so doing gather
about themselves a special brand of brothers and sisters,
rttoaed company of friends whose lives are profoundly and

by the and the

example.

Such a man is Al Laing, until recently a citizen of
Castlegar, veteran pilot in the Battle of Britain, a major
force in the course of aviation history in Canada and in
Castlegar, adventurer, master teacher and gentleman.

He retired last month and moved to the coast with
his wife, Mary, after having logged a record of 45,000
hours of flying time (4% years) quietly, he thought and
without fuss. He didn't quite make it. He and Mary were
lured back to Castlegar Jast week to a surprise party in
their honor. But that story will have to wait until next
week.

First, there is a story written 10 years ago (July 21,
1977) by Lois Hughes, then news editor for this paper, to
mark Al's 40th anni y as one of the
pilots of our time. It reads (with permission) as follows:

HES

Anniversaries are milestones to many memories,
but in an ever-changing world aviation provides one of
the more interesting fields open to reminiscences.

When AI Laing, a well known local figure in aviation
celebrated 40 years to the day, May 24, of his first flight
in Britain when he started with the Royal Air Forced by
“going flying,” it only seemed logical that those 40 years
could well be full of interesting people and events.

Laing joined the air force from the University of
Edinburgh in 1987 and for a considerable time flew
‘Flying Boats’ for the Coastal Command.

In a book entitled A History of No. 35 E.F.T.S.,
R.A.F., Neepawa, a thumb nail sketch about squadron
leader Laing reads as follows:

Subsequently he was posted to a fighter squadron
on fighter Blenheims, and was piloting ‘Flying Boats’
when war broke out.

Just before Dunkirk his Squadron was equipped
with Spitfires, and operating from base near London,
flew all through Dunkirk during defence of the beaches
and then on through the Battle of Britain, until he was
shot down and wounded at the height of the struggle.

At this point he was rested at one of the newly
formed O.T.U.'s and again went into action later that
year until he finally completed his tour of operation in
December of 1940.

Since that time his whole energy has been directed

FLIGHT CHECK... Al Laing

checking out Dr. John Hall in his low wing, 2-seater Chipmunk

RCAF trainer at the Castlegar airport circa early sixties

towards elementary flying training schools, including a
great deal of experience in the grading schools until he
was posted as Officer Commanding No. 35 E.F.T.S., RAF
Neepawa in June of 1943.

While the thumbnail sketch is very factual, possibly
the hand written signature reveals more personal
warmth reading “to ‘Scotty’ Laing with all my best ‘J.W.’
16/6/44.”

In September of 1944 Laing was posted to No, 6 Sr.
Instructors Course at Trenton and on passing top of the
course he became chief instructor at No. 2 Flying In-
structors School RCAF Station, Pearce, Alberta, from
October until December 31 of that year when it was
closed down.

This was a wing commander's post and one of the key
positions for the RCAF flying training in all Canada.

But when you speak to Laing he prefers to talk, not
of himself, but of the men he has felt honored to meet.

Enroute to Canada in July of 1948, he sailed into New
York on the Queen Mary from Scotland and met Orville
Wright, a friend of a relative of his who also happened to
be publicity agent when Lindberg flew the first Atlantic
flight.

When Laing flew Spitfires as comnianding officer of
the 64 Fighter Squadron, it gave him the opportunity to
meet one of the most famous aviators of the Battle of
Britain — the legless ace Group Capt. Douglas Bader.

Through combat, Laing also met the top, scoring
fighter ace of the RAF, Marshall Johnnie Johnson.

Later at a British Wartime Commonwealth pilots

reunion in Winnipeg in 1970, Laing met Johnson's
counterpart, Gen. Galland, the top scoring German ace in
the Luftwaffe.

At this time Laing was operating Adastra Aviation
here in Castlegar. He had come to Castlegar in 1964 to
take over the school portion of what was then called
Waneta Airways.

‘The school, which he operated until May 1974, may
hold a Canadian and U.S. record. It averaged 150
students per annum totalling approximately 1,500 pilot
over the 10 years of its existance with an accident free
record.

Laing is proud of that record.

“I doubt if there is any other school putting that
number of students through who did not have a minor
accident bearing in mind Castlegar is difficult on account
of adverse crosswinds and such,” he says.

While Laing has had numerous narrow escapes him-
self, both in the RAF and in civil aviation, (he says he may

On both occasions he was able to force-land success-

flying school, he was then appointed a designated flight
