Taking a week off not bad idea

By Hal Bock The Associated Press

Some baseball purists shudder over the prospect of a .199 hitter in right field for the American League and a -169 hitter at second base for the National League when the All-Star game is played in Cleveland tonight.

Logic tells you that Reggie Jackson, the right fielder, and Davey Lopes, the second baseman, aren't having All- Star seasons. So it’s easy for the second-guessers to nit- pick the selection process that put those two into the starting lineup.

But please excuse this ob- server if he passes up the chance to unload on the fans for this misdemeanor.

Jackson’s batting average matters not one whit. He is an All-Star, and will be until the day he retires. He supplied one of the game's magic mo- ments when he hit a gigantic home run in the 1971 All-Star game at Tiger Stadium. The ball was still rising when it hit a generator box high atop the ball park.

And Davey Lopes’ remains one of basebali’s most effi- cient second basemen, the glue that helps hold the Dod- ger infield together. He be- longs, if for no other reason than past performance.

As baseball stumbles around, picking up the pieces of this shattered summer, it is discovering, accidentally, what could be a most re- freshing approach to future seasons.

The strike forced a two-

month gap in the season, hardly desirable for anybody. But taking one week off might not be such a bad idea. Suppose you divided the season down the middle and scheduled into that break an All-Star week. Instead of making the All-Star break a hurry-up, three-day affair, turn it into a real showpiece.

South African faces Mr. Snipes

NEW YORK (AP) — Gerrie Coetzee of South Africa be- lieves he has answered ques- tions concerning his endur- ance in the ring.

Coetzee, known as a knock- out puncher, faces Renaldo (Mr.) Snipes today in @ scheduled 10-rounder, crucial to both fighters’ chances at a

Here are some sug: for an All-Star week:

WORKOUT IN PUBLIC

Stage an open workout Monday and another one Wednesday. The All-Stars leave Friday in time to re- sume the regular season Sat- urday.

This way, important week- end revenue would not be lost by teams on either end of All-Star week — a factor that should make it most appeal- ing to the rulers of the king- dom of baseball.

Two All-Star games would create more income at the gate and from the networks and ostensibly boost manage- ment’s contribution to the players’ pension fund. >

And by playing two games, it would create a better chance to showcase all the talent. It’s awfully tough for a team to squeeze 30 players intoa single game. But that’s the task facing opposing man- agers Jim Frey and Dallas Green on. Sunday night.

“This kind of settlement leads to public and private sector unions asking for the same thing," said Bob Morrow, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

“It will lead to a rash of additional claims by employees for benefits and 1 don’t think the nation can afford it.’”

Morrow, like Bill Hamilton of the Employers’ Council of B.C. was particularly concerned about: maternity leave provisions in the new agreement.

“The whole question of topping up maternity pay- ments has been vigorously resisted in, the priyate sector and will continue to be,"” Hamilton said, noting thet such provisions are rare.

But he said there is no’ doubt the maternity leave provisions ‘‘will be used as a precedent which other unions will now press for, beginning with other groups in the federal civil service.”

Unemployment insur- ance already — gives pregnant women two-thirds of their salary, he said.

Morrow described the postal settlement as ‘‘very tich”” and the maternity leave provisions as the “final straw.’’ Postal workers are already receiving 90 per cent more in benefits than workers in the business sector, he said.
