Dan Quisenberry, player represen- tative for the Kansas City Royals, called the new offer "semi-different. Essentially, it's the same proposal as before." NEGOTIATORS FOR both sides met for 80 minutes with Kenneth E. Moffett, the federal mediator who called the bargaining session. It was Moffett who announced the -existence of some movement in the stalled negotiations which threatento disrupt the season in nine days. "The owners made a proposal and the union is taking a day to examine it," Moffett told an impromptu news con- ference outside the offices of the Players Association, site of yesterday's meeting. Moffett said the written proposal was a good sign. "The fact that we're still meeting is a good sign," he said. The mediator said he couldn't characterize the proposal because "I don't know what's in it. We all have to study it. "I'M ALWAYS pleasantly surprised when there's any kind of movement. It beats treading water." Quisenberry, here for his club's series with the New York Yankees, said the owners' modifications didn't affect the number of players who would be classified as "ranking" free agents and require compensation. "Still half the players would be premier players," Quisenberry said. THE PREVIOUS proposal called for compensation for players selected by a minumum of eight clubs within a limited number of rounds in the re- entry draft and ranked in the upper third of hitters in plate appearances, of pitchers in starts and relievers in ap- pearances. When those top players move, their new club could protect 15 players on the 40-man roster, allowing the old club to select a non-protected player. "We took a brief look and not so much has changed," said Quisenberry. "There's a massive criteria of statistics for each positions, but the appearance criteria would still apply."

IN THE consolation match, Bill Rogers and John Mangan combined to lead Georgia to a 6-3 victory over Southern Cal and third place in the 97th annual NCAA team championships.

(AP)-The Minnesota North Stars, playing tenacious hockey on the doorstep of playoff extinction, used Steve Payne's goal at third period to defeat the New York Islanders 4-2 yesterday night for their first win in the Stanley Cup finals.

IN A GAME marked by outstanding performances by goaltenders Don Beaupre of Minnesota and New York's Billy Smith, Payne, defenseman Al MacAdam and defenseman Brad Max- well were the offensive standouts.
