Baseball players accept
mediator’s proposal
NEW YORK (UPI) -
Federal mediator Kenneth
Moffett’s proposal basically
was accepted by the
ballplayers and if the owners
go along with it, the 30-day-
old baseball strike could be
settled by the end of the
weekend.
‘‘The problem is the
owners giving us an an-
swer,” said Mark Belanger
of Baltimore. “They did
accept some things but they
really got back to their own
proposals.”
Moffett made what he
admitted was “a last resort
in an exceptional situation.”
It proved to be exceptional
because it brought the sides
together Friday for two ses-
sions totaling seven hours
and is bringing them back
for another session today at
11 a m. EDT.
But the players wanted an
owners’ response to Mof-
fett’s proposal and instead
received a counter-proposal
by the owners. Ray Grebey,
chief negotiator for the
owners, said his side offered
an adequate response.
“Reports that the union
received no response is not
totally accurate,” said
Grebey. “We were asked and
accepted Moffett’s
suggestions, and on a line by
line, word by word, letter by
letter examination, we find
there is considerable am-
biguity.
"It eliminates two-thirds
of compensation with the
player making the choice in
some cases. We made
significant moves. We have
dropped the limit to 10 free
agent players a vear. This
really means there is a strike
now for the bargaining rights
of 10 players.”
Marvin Miller, executive
director of the Players
Association, appeared
disappointed by the owners’
response.
"They came back with
another proposal they said
was addressing the
mediator's proposal," said
Miller, "but thev made some
adjustments in numbers and
a backward adjustment. It
was not a revised version of
the mediator’s proposal.
“We met again and
pointed out to them that they
had not done what they had
promised. We pointed out the
areas that were not
satisfactory but then made
the following offer.
"Subject to the settlement
of the strike-related issues,
we offer to take the
recommendations of the
federal mediator into the
interest of ending the
strike."
Moffett’s proposal,
delivered to the parties at
Thursday’s National Labor
Relations Board hearings
into alleged unfair labor
practices by the owners, was
a detailed one that simplified
some aspects of baseball’s
free-agent compensation
situation and made others
more complex.
Essentially, it redefined
the status of a premier free
agent, excludes premier free
agents from the re-entry
draft, sets a maximum for
the number of premier free
agents in a given season and
divides the major league
clubs into three categories.
Moffett’s proposal defines
a premier free agent as one
who falls in the top 20 per
cent of players at his position
over an average of two
seasons. Players who have
previously been free agents,
players with more than 12
years of credited service and
players older than 35 cannot
be premier players.
There would be no re-entry
draft for premier players,
who would be eligible to
negotiate with any number
of clubs. A maximum of 12
players would be considered
premier free agents in one
season. The reentry draft
would continue unchanged
for all other players.
The plan calls for the
majorleague teams to be
divided into three
categories: A for the top
nine; B for the middle 8; end
C for the bottom nine on the
basis of won-lost records in
the previous two years.
If a player signs with an A
club and the losing club is in
Group C, the signing club
protects 24 players and the
losing club may select an
unprotected player. The club
receiving professional
player compensation would
pay the club providing the
player $200,000.
If a player signs with an A
club and his former club is in
Group B, or if the players
signs with a B club and his
former club is a C, the
signing club may protect 30
players.
NEW YORK (UPI) -
Despite the not so surprising
defeat of John McEnroe, the
game plan still is intact for
the United States Davis Cup
team against
Czechoslovakia.
“As I said earlier the
strategy is to beat (Tomas)
Smid twice and win the
doubles,” said Arthur Ashe,
captain of the U.S. team.

called McEnroe the world’s
best doubles player, he opted
for the veteran team of Stan
Smith and Bob Lutz in
today’s doubles against
Lendl and Smid.
“I can get a lot of people
tell me I’m nuts for not using
McEnroe in the doubles,”
Ashe said. “This is my
gamble, and I’m very glad I
did it this way. He needs a
day to recover, and when he
comes out Sunday the crowd
will be supportive. Even if he
plays at 85 percent ef-
ficiency, he should beat
Smid.
“Smith and Lutz for the
last 10 years have been our
best doubles team, and they
won the U.S. Open hiere last *
year.”
Indeed, since 1968, Smith
and Lutz have compiled a 12-
1 record as a doubles team in
Davis Cup play.
And while the deep U.S.
team can give McEnroe and
Connors a day of rest, the
defending Cup champions
from Czechoslovakia can’t
afford such a luxury.
