   European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 1, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 22 commentary the stars and stripes August 1985 baseball tans can count on Tull season sit Back and enjoy the rest of the two months plus left in the baseball All of there will be no i no i already can hear the general from both sides of the bargaining but a Little louder from the players association Wishful we still Haven reached any agreement on the major How does he know there wont be a strike where is he getting All his information fair questions and ill be glad to answer but first a word about that Wishful strike or life goes maybe not As happily were the players to walk but it certainly  be the end of the a fact proved by the baseball strike of now As to that question of How 1 know there wont be another i know it from intense and repeated conversations with the two Best possible the players and the the climate Between them is Good much better than the last time and improving All the Don Chr and Marvin Miller represent the players and advise but they themselves will Tell you it is the players who have the final without except every single player Ive spoken with has told me he does not want a every single owner has assured me the same who does that leave Don Fehr and Marvin Mill do you think these two by themselves can carry the Day 1 leave you to answer that one for lets not forget one other Peter be the its due in Large measure to him that the relation ship Between the players and owners is much better now than it was before the strike four years ago and what it was also when the players walked out of Spring training the year before that in from almost the moment he took Over As commis Ueberroth has tried to show the players Hes not a so called owners the owners were the ones who went out and got they pay As he Points so do the and the fans As without an Ueberroth suddenly left the owners meetings in Houston last got on a Jet and showed up at a players meeting in Las he wanted to hear some of their views and he without any he has been talk ing on a regular basis with he also has been in Contact with Lee who represents the own ers As head of the player relations so Hes listening to both sides and he has made a you want to know what it is i cannot allow a he has said he also has said theres no Way he could Stop but maybe he Only said that merely because he didst feel it was time to show his hand he did say in Cooperstown sunday he would take All appropriate action to assist both we cannot allow these negotiations to he and watching him operate at the last i believe the Basic problem Between the players and owners boils Down to simply one word if youre looking for another you might try greed and one Side is no More or less guilty than the but Money is you can always Cut up the pot and theres always room for solution so Long As neither Side insists on getting that brings up another the one that ultimately settles All strikes it happens to be one of Peter Ueberroth most useful in pretty sure hell Call it into play if the players and owners become what seems hopelessly hell get them to right the players Are insisting upon on third of the television Revenue and that comes to Mil the on the other Arent crazy Over the players being Able to go to arbitration after being in the majors Only two that where the Compromise will come i dont provide you All the but i know if the own ers will up their Money offer to the to something around the players would be inclined to accept in they very Likely would also agree to give the owners another year on arbitral meaning a player would have to wait three years instead of two before being Able to go to As a last Ueberroth always can invoke Arti Cle Section i of baseballs which defines his jurisdiction As that the one which gives him Complete authority to take whatever action he deems necessary in the Best interests of Peter Ueberroth knows where his Power maybe he int physically Able to Force the players to but there Are other ways and he knows dont Ever sell this Man Hes the Only living mortal who Ever ran an olympics without governmental help and
