THE BATTALION
THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1981
Strike still angers many fans
United Press International
By this time, more than a month after the
major league baseball strike began, one would
have thought baseball fans had turned their
attentions to other matters.
Not so. The national pastime is, for many, a
national passion and the cancellation of Tues
day’s scheduled All-Star Game simply intensi
fied the fans’ feelings of frustration.
Declaring baseball is “the fans game,
America’s game, now and forever,’’ a Capitol
Hill bartender, Paul Meagher, Tuesday
formed the American Baseball Fans Associa
tion, then demanded Baseball Commissioner
Bowie Kuhn’s resignation, proposed a way to
settle the strike and said his organization
would seize control of the All-Star Game.
At Chicago’s Wrigley Field, glowing can
dles held by some 15 diehard Chicago Cubs
fans Tuesday lit up the sky to mourn the de
mise of “1981 Baseball.” And in Cincinnati,
two bankers have sued the Reds for $32—yep,
just $32 — the cost of tickets for future games
they say have lost their value because of the
baseball players’ strike.
Meagher, a self-confessed baseball fanatic,
has a three-part platform with which he hopes
to draw 25,000 members by Labor Day. Kuhn
must go, he says, because the commissioner
“has fallen from the position of a leader to less
than that of a follower. ”
Meagher’s plan to settle strike negotiations
calls for the team signing a player to pay the old
team 20 percent of the player’s annual salary
up to five years. And the All-Star selection
process, he says, should be turned over to his
organization.
“The fan has been taken for granted for too
long,” Meagher said, “because the fan is
viewed simply as a consumer when in reality it
is the fan who is the provider of the spoils that
both owner and players squabble over.
“The game belongs to the fans.”
In Chicago, Dave Smalley, who described
himself as an avid Cubs’ fan, organized a vigil
for the scheduled date of the All-Star Game in
Cleveland. He told the 15 baseball mourners,
who sported T-shirts with the inscription
“1981 Baseball: Who Won?” the strike was
hurting the fans, especially senior citizens.
William Kuntz and his cousin Kim Kuntz of
Cincinnati claim their tickets for Reds’ series
with Philadelphia and Los Angeles are now
worthless. They asked for a refund but the
Reds refused, saying they won’t make refunds
until games are canceled. So, the two filed
suit.
Carl Yastrzemski is also angry.
“Depressed? Frustrated? I’m past that
stage,” the Boston Red Sox captain said at a
golf tournament benefiting the Jimmy Fund,
for children’s cancer research. “I was planning
to play (last weekend) and now I just don’t
care.”
Americans hold off Israelis
to win Maccabiah Games
United Press International
TEL AVIV — The taste of vic
tory was sweet for the U.S.
athletes Wednesday night as they
fought back a determined Israeli
drive and finally subdued their
fiesty competitors in the climactic
final day of the 11th Maccabiah
Games.
The U.S. team finished the
nine days of competition stretch
ing its lead to 85-65 over the
Israelis in gold medals won,
although the Israeli team main
tains its lead in overall medals
won, 199-188, largely on the basis
of its more numerous, “home
team” contingent.
Both teams remain far ahead of
the rest of the field.
In the dramatic U.S.-Israeli
basketball final, the American
team, after seeing their early lead
whittled down to a mere 42-41
halftime margin by a tenacious
Israeli squad, came storming back
in the second half to win the gold
in a blowout, 91-71.
“The coach had a few words
with us at halftime about our de
fense in the first half, and that was
the key in the second half, ” said a
jubilant Dave Blatt, of Framing
ham, Mass., the starting guard for
the U.S. team, whose 17 points
helped pace the U.S. effort.
For Hal Cohen, of Canton,
N.Y. and the other half of the
starting U.S. backcourt lineup,
“the Israelis were tough, but we
stuck with them and played just as
hard or harder . We just wore
them down.”
“This gold sure feels nice,” he
concluded.
In the final night of track and
field competition, the American
athletes faced a determined com
eback effot by the Israeli squad.
But after edging out the Israelis,
4-3, in wins on both Monday and
Tuesday, the U.S. athletes held
on, 3-3, to take the final gold med
al tally, 11-9.
“We were real tired tonight but
we hung in there pretty well, ” said
U.S. Coach Irving Mqndschein of
his team’s effort.
The U.S. team (Richard Bloom
of East Rockaway, N.Y., Tom
Glasser of Westfield, N.J., Ron
Bloomberg of Melville, N.Y., and
David Frim of Newton Center,
Mass.) also managed to take the
gold in the men’s 4x400 meter re
lay, holding off a quickly closing
Israeli in the last leg to win by a
stride, 3:14.10 to 3:14.76.
And finally, in the most gruel
ing event of the day, American
Brian Mondschein won the gold in
the two-day, 10-event decathlon
with a Maccabiah record 7,359
point total, over teammate Marc
Kiborts (Saratoga, Calif.) also with
a strong showing of 6,485 for the
silver.
