‘ SPORTS At s2_ Castlegar News _4vsvst7. 1985 Br Baseball strike a matter AGREEMENT ENDS NEXT YEAR Hockey strike possible of power and posturing By HAL BOCK begun when an interested third party, lawyer Richie Phillips of. the ‘umpires’ union, offered a pertinent observation. : - ; “Let me ask you a question;” he said. “The owners are doing well. “The players are doing well. So how come there's a strike?” = Part of it is power. Part of it is posturing. Alll of it is a dreary replay of what happened four years ago. And this after they said they had learned. Perhaps what they didn't learn was the danger inherent in brinksmanship. On the eve of the strike, the urgency of the situation generated one brief, informal, morning meeting. _ "On the day of the strike, they found the time and need to talk for 11 hours. It was the longest negotiating session in nine months, but it was too late. CAREW FRUSTRATED -“[m frustrated,” said Rod Carew of California Angels. “Why do they have to get this thing down to the last minute?” It is especially frustrating in this year of Carew and his 3,000th hif, of Chicago White Sox veteran Tom Seaver and his 300tH win, of Houston hurler Nolan Ryan and his 4,000th ‘strikeout, especially frustrating in this year of Cincinnati player-manager Pete Rose's final pursuit of Ty Cobb's hit record, of Dwight Gooden’s mound mastery for New York Mets. It is About as frustrating as the way the 1981 strike evolved The issue then was compensation to teams losing free agents. The players saw the management proposal as a scheme to punish‘teams for signing free agents, an attack on player freedom — just as. surely as the sglary arbitration issue’ is now. / NEW YORK (AP) — The baseball strike had barely _ . management, through a player-pool concept startlingly uwere tables to be pounded, power to be established, <= power and posturing. For 50 days and 712 games, baseball shut down, inflicting emormous economic damage on all sides. And then the settlement, came: free agent compensation for close to the original offer. Couldn't they have saved a lot of time and trouble, not to mention money? Not really, the union said. There posturing to be done. The owners, with their $50 million worth of insurance, wanted this strike, the players said; they forced the issue and sought to break the union. MORE RESPECT? - Both sides were bloodied. Both, we were told, had come away with increased respect for the other. ‘The respect lasted until it came time to bargain again last November, and suddenly the same signals surfaced For nine months they haggled, much of the time over just-how much money management was losing, just how terrible an investment this baseball business really is. And. much of that time was spent with management insisting the players acknowledge those economic facts. Never mind that baseball draws more than 40 million’ fans a year and that attendance is 12 per cent ahead of that. pace this year. Never mind that the network television contract zoomed from $250 million to $1.1 billion. bs 2 That TV revenue bonanza fascinated the players. It could push their pension plan to the federal limit, $93,000. Just why athletes making average salaries of $363,000-a year need that much puzzles some oldtimers. So now we have a strike in a sport where everybody was doing pretty well. Why? Because, once again, there was power to be sought and posturing to be done. a Otters take third place at Kimberley swim meet All relay teams finished in first place with an additional four pool records set by and 100 back; Anita Lebidoff was fifth in 50 free and 100 back and sixth in 100 breast placed third in 50 fly.

It starts with 45 minutes of stretching a day in spring training, says head trainer Ken Carson. That’s how long. it takes to work every mus- cle, he says. Once the season began, Carson made sure nobody Carson says his faith in “stretching is based on’ his thedry 75 per cent of baseball - injuries are pulled-miscles. “You .can't avoid getting ‘things like broken bones and dislocations, but you can -keep down the muscle pulls.” The Blue Jays do their stretching slowly and tedi- ously, unlike some teams Carson criticizes without identifying. - : “A lot don't do enough stretching and some do it the wrong way,” hé says. “If you watch some clubs, you'll see TORONTO (CP) — The deadline for a new i in tl e he National Hockey League is one year away but the chances of an amicable agreement between owners and players are already diminishing, players’ representative Alan Eagleson said Tuesday. Eagleson, executive director of the NHL Players A iati told of the i x i Tuesday he sees no chance of reaching a new agreement until the conclusion of the 1985-86 season. Est Eagleson also said he had noticed a tendency by owners to act against the spirit of the existing agreement, which ends with the 1985-86 season. “Things we used to be able to solve with a telephone call are now taking six or seven months to resolve,” Eagleson said. “Everything is being shoved off to lawyers. “There is also a concerted effort by general managers to offer every player a two-way contract. Players are being offered terminati by regi mail, then they send it back by registered mail and the owners say, ‘Sorry, it has to be delivered personally.’ “Then they claim that they have no obligations at all: It’s immoral.” . TARGET TRAINING CAMPS Should a strike develop, Eagleson said it would happen during training camp next year. Owners would suffer financially from a pre-season strike because they charge full price for exhibition games while only paying the players training camp wages and expenses. The players had originally decided to meet among themselves before talking with owners to discuss a new players had decided to meet again today and then return home. Eagleson said the players want an improvement in the compensation system ‘and a significant increase in the owners’ contribution to a post-career benefits package. Eagleson warned the players would upgrade their demands if the owners continued to be: unyielding. “If we're going to play hardball, we might as well say we're going for total free agency.” he said. “The owners can be just as hard and maybe by next Sept. 14, they ll realize _welre not kidding.” \ He said the major source of disagreement between the two sides is compensation agreement. “There was no offer of change in the equalization and compensation system,” Eagleson said of the owners’ offer. “They're on record as saying they'll make some minor adjustments but we feel it needs a total overhaul.” Eagleson said the owners are so opposed to players moving from one team to another that they file tampering charges just to be obstructive. The players, meanwhile, have committed $100,000 to a continuing’ education program based on a plan which has been in operation for some time by Boston Bruins and Northeastern University. ‘The program is currently in. operation in 11 NHL cities but Eagleson says the players want.to make it available in all 21 league locations. -t COMMUNITY NEWS Se August7, 1985 Castlegar News ~ag --But-Eagl said—the—owners’— tesponse to earlier player proposals had been so poor the SIMULATION re-create an members of Air Cadets C No. 581 Squadron Royal C scene fora CASTLEGAR SQUADRON By GARY KINGSTON NANAIMO (CP) — As 3,800 athletes and coaches — some happy and some disgruntled — left this V Games’ size a problem However, the logistics of housing and transporting such large numbers of athletes can be a problem. Several older itors in imo were unhappy about a Island city Sunday afternoon, the biggest question facing B.C. Summer Games officials was size. The eighth edition of the annual three-day amateur sport extravaganza was the largest ever held, but security, transportation and accommodation was stret- ched to the limit and Games officials must now decide how big is too big. Games chairman Ron Butlin said he doubts Cran- brook, which plays host to the Games next year, can accommodate as many athletes, but he expects to have 4,500 competitors and coaches in the Oak Bay suburb of Victoria in 1988. “That will likely be the only one to go over 4,000,” he said in an interview. “We'll have been to most of the major centres capable of handling such numbers and our practice has been to spread the Games around to different host cities.” Butlin's tough stewardship of the Games, which bring together such diverse sports as orienteering, parachute- jumping, track and. field- and horseshoe pitching and attract athletes from 13 to 84, has turned them into a hugely rewarding venture for each local community. Each year, hundreds of thousands of dollars are pumped into the host community by competitors, their families and friends — Nanaimo motels were booked all weekend — and the community benefits from upgraded amateur sport. > facilities and a $70,000 provincial lottery fund legacy for Games regulation requiring that they stay in the 23 area schools, sleeping on camp cots. “They (the camp cots) should have three inches of foam on them... ard they should be three inches wider,” said horseshoe pitcher Gail Smith of Powell River. “If I don’t get a gold medal I'll be able to blame my cot.” Others complained that they'd like to bring their families, but don't want to be separated from them. ‘The regulation requiring everybody under 60 to stay in the athletes’ dorms was instituted last year, after. Games officials got tired of setting up accommodation and paying for meals and transportation, only to find athletes, who had registered as needing accommodation, were checking out on the first day or not showing up at the schools at all. 7 “I think probably we've over-reacted and gone a bit too far, and we're going to make changes,” said Butli “We'll probably lower the age somewhat and possibly make certain sports exempt.” Butlin also said disabled athletes won't be forced out of the Games. A separate provincial meet for handicapped competitors was established this year by associations representing those athletes, but Butlin said the B.C. Games will continue to accommodate them as well “because we do little enough as it is for the disabled.” Butlin was again forced to send teams home early for drinking and curfew violations. This year it was a rugby club from Victoria and a men's soccer team from Burnaby. But he said he won't ban rugby, which was done after a similar incident a few years ago.
