Strike talks resume- what ' new? By the Associated Press And on the seventh day, the negotiators rested. "I made the suggestion to both sides that they should leave here, rethink their positions, come back here Friday (today) at 3 p.m. EDT, prepared to go forward, address the issue and come to an agreement and conclusion," said Ken Moffett, who played shuttle diplomacy Wednesday, attempting to make peace between the striking players and the baseball owners. NO NEW PROPOSALS were offered during a two-hour session Wednesday, in which the two sides shot the breeze in separate rooms, never talking face-to-face. "If we did get together, an already deadlocked situation would get into a worse situation," Moffett said. Three owners attempted to break the deadlock. George Steinbrenner of the New York Yankees, Ed Chiles of Texas and Edward Bennett Williams of Baltimore had a meeting with Commissioner Bowie Kuhn Tuesday. The New York Times reported yesterday that Steinbrenner urged Kuhn to make an effort to replace Ray Grebey, the owners' chief bargainer. THE NEW YORK Daily News reported that the three owners urged Kuhn to accept a sweeping free-agency com- pensation proposal, which one management source told the News was a "retrogression" and was promptly rejected by a majority of owners. Meanwhile, Moffett, who has described the talks as "the most bizarre negotiations I've ever been involved in during 22 years as a mediator," was not optimistic that the one-day recess would inspire any changes at the bargaining table. The Michigan Doily-Friday, June 19, 1981-Poge 15 After all, there was a three-day recess before Tuesday's session, and when the parties got back together they discussed the progress made over the past 18 months-in just two hours. That's less than most games, and the games are played to a conclusion. YOU REMEMBER baseball games, those nine-inning af- fairs unencumbered by the clock, which help a nation while away the lazy days and nights of summer. If those games were played yesterday, they would have in- cluded Philadelphia and Houston in a rematch of last year's scintillating National League playoff and 10 other games, raising the casualty count to 87, one more than the total of missed games in the 13-day season-opening strike in 1972. But instead of the Astrodome in Houston, Bob Boone of Philadelphia plans to play a round of golf and then take in a round of golf at the U.S. Open in Ardmore, Pa., near his home. BOONE, WHO HAS emerged as the main spokesman for the players' five-man negotiating team, said people missed the point when they expressed financial concern for only the players near the minimum salary level of $32,500. "The high- salary players have obligations and house payments to make, too," he said. One player expressed what appeared to be a minority viewpoint, welcoming a season-long strike. "I don't really care if it doesn't end at all," said pitcher Ron Davis of the New York Yankees. "If they want to take the whole year to settle this thing, let 'em. "I've got enough money saved up to last me two years. I don't have any big expenses to worry about, so who cares?" PLEADS INNOCENT TO CHARGE: Spinks KO'd by police DETROIT (4P) - Less than a week after Larry H'olmes knocked him out, former heavyweight boxing champion Leon Spinks was arrested and charged yesterday with carrying a concealed weapon. Behind the wheel of his 1980 Cadillac at 2 a.m. Spinks was pulled over by police on the northwest side of Detroit, a few miles from his home, for driving with an expired license plate. It was his sixth brush with the law in the past three years. AS THE former World Boxing Association champion reached into the Hearns still in shadow of Leonard HOUSTON (AP) - World Boxing Council welterweight champion Sugar Ray Leonard sits down before a crowded news conference, sweating from his just-completed workout and the glare of television lights. Later in the day, World Boxing. Association welterweight king Thomas Hearns strides into the same interview' room. There is no crowd, leaving plenty of seats for the press. THE CONTRAST in the attention is not lost on Hearns as the two welter- weight champions prepare for different opponents in the Astrodome next Thur- sday night. "It's something I have to live with, but it doesn't bother me," said Hearns, who will defend his title on the double main event card against Californian Pablo Baez. "I don't let too many things get me down. If I do, then I do something about them. "It (Leonard's popularity) brings more attention to our weight division," Hearns said. "Furthermore, my day will come. In September, I'll have both titles." glove box for the car's registration, police spotted a .357-caliber Magnum handgun, said officer Wayne Roberts of the Detroit Police Department's public information office. "He said he wasn't even aware the gun was in the car," said Sgt. Arthur Williams of the Detroit Police Depar- tment's 12th Precinct, where Spinks was arrested. "He said he didn't have any use for a gun." The gun wasn't registered to Spinks, said Detroit Police Department Inspec- tor David Patterson, commander of the 12th Precinct. Williams said the car Spinks was driving belongs to a cor- poration bearing his name. THE 27-YEAR-OLD' fighter stood mute at his arraignment and Detroit Recorder's Court Judge Donald L. Bob- son entered a plea of innocent. If con- victed, Spinks could face a maximum five-year prison term and a $2,500 fine. Spinks was freed after paying a $1,000 personal bond and a preliminary court examination was set for June 24, a courtspokeswoman said. Spinks also was arrested for a parking ticket that had not been paid, and he was ticketed for the expired license plate, said Williams. '-SHIRT Ann Arbor's fastest!
