European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 22, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 26 the stars and stripes sports monday August 22,1994 upcoming round of talks will unveil owners splits pro Tennis by Murray chass the new York times new York when baseball club owners join the strike bound labor negotiations this week they will sit at the table saddled with greater divisions than they would like the players or anyone else to think. Despite management s constant claim of Unity and Solidarity the division be came noticeable in the last few Days As a result of the Federal mediators Success in inducing the owners to allow five Mem Bers of their group to attend bargaining sessions. Already Labouring under the weight of a Low Revenue is. High Revenue conflict which is the Basic source of the nine Day old strike the clubs found themselves at Odds Over the roster compiled by Bud Selig their acting Leader for the talks. According to two members of manage ment. National leagues were complaining that on his initial list which he did not disclose publicly Selig had included too Many american leagues on the five person lineup for the first meet ing of the renewed talks. And two other High ranking manage ment people said others were complaining that the list included too Many analysis hard line owners and not enough Moder ates for the meeting which is expected to be held wednesday. In a recent discussion of the possibility of having owners at the table one owner said the problem is always the traditions and jealousies Over which owners get to the  Selig is not Likely to alter the list to appease the moderates but he most Likely will be More sensitive to the complaints about the numbers from each league. The acting commissioner said Friday night and reiterated saturday that he was still tinkering with the list that it was t final and that it would be announced today. He declined to comment on the names disclosed Friday by a High ranking club official but two other members of management said the list was not accurate. They declined to provide specifics. Since the club official said he got the names from information Given to owners it is conceivable that Selig  altered the roster by the time the names appeared in print. Selig and Richard Ravitch the owners chief labor executive have repeatedly said the owners Are unified and Strong in their support of management s salary Cap proposal. In addition Ravitch has often said that he has not received a Call from a single owner urging him to change the proposal. Another member of management said he has heard no dissident voices during Telephone conference Calls. If All of those comments Are accurate they leave the possibility that Disen chanted owners Are expressing their frustrations More to each other to their executives and to reporters than they Are to an ownership group they know is stacked against them. The moderates primarily owners of High Revenue clubs simply do not have the numbers to Force or even induce a change in the Selig Ravitch strategy. One owner who wanted to Avert a strike indicated two weeks ago that there were not enough owners to Force a change in the salary Cap stance. If there were it would be been done but it want he said. So instead of making nuisances of themselves on conference Calls the moderates apparently hold their tongues waiting for a More propitious moment if one Ever surfaces.
