HOUSTON (AP) — Astros first
basesman Glenn Davis and the club
are $70,000 apart in salary negotia
tions, and he will not report to
spring training without a new con
tract, according to his agent.
The Astros are believed to have
offered Davis $170,000, a raise of
$50,000 from his 1986 pay. The
$240,000 Davis wants would double
his salary, the Houston Chronicle re
ported Tuesday.
The 25-year-old slugger led the
Astros’ offense last season with 31
home runs and 101 RBI.
“We’re not asking for a multi
year, multimillion-dollar contract.
We’re askin'g for a salary comparable
with what other young players with
comparable years and comparable
statistics have received the last few
seasons,” Davis’ agent Gerry Hun-
sicker said.
“We’re only about $70,000 apart,
and it seems to me ridiculous we
can’t get our differences settled.
This can do nothing but hurt both
sides. Nobody wins here,” he said.
Position players have been asked
to report to spring camp by Feb. 25,
but are not required to appear under
the collective bargaining agreement
until March 4. Davis would not be
come an “official” holdout until that
date.
“I don’t know who’s running his
public relations, but it’s very early
for a player or an agent to talk about
a holdout,” Astros General Manager
Dick Wagner said Tuesday. “The
negotiations, as far as I’m con
cerned, are not stopped.”
Wagner said the club paid Davis
the highest salary in its history for a
first-year man last season and has of
fered the highest ever for a second-
year player this year.
Davis, who has less than two years
of major-league service, is not eligi
ble to file for salary arbitration. Play
ers with three years or more in the
majors may force arbitration under
the collective bargaining agreement.

Hunsicker said Wagner informed
him last Friday that the club would
not raise its offer on the table at that
time and would renew Davis’ con
tract at a lower figure if the player
doesn’t sign by March 1.
Sidney returns to running
after injury rehabilitation
TOKYO (AP) — Mary Decker
Slaney, striving to come back after
an injury-plagued year, takes her to
days a step at a time. But in speaking
of her future, she has “big ambi
tions.”
The 28-year-old track star, in Ja
pan to run in a relay marathon Sun
day, said Tuesday she feels nervous
about racing now and still is careful
not to push herself, but feels she will
be more than ready for the 1988
Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
“I would like to go to the Olym
pics, win the Olympics, and run
fast,” she said. “Lots of people have
slower times — they run for what
they can be sure of.
“I want to go to win and to run
fast — those are my big ambitions,”
the wiry runner said before demon
strating aerobics on a Japanese tele
vision program.
She said she is planning on com
peting in the Olympics, although “in
sports, there are always unforeseen
tni
nngs.
In 1984, her chances for a medal
ended dramatically when she be
came entangled with teen-age South
African runner Zola Budd in the
3,000-meter race and fell and
jured her leg.
Slaney is the outdoor world re
cord-holder in the mile with a time
of 4:16.71 set in 1985. She also holds
several world indoor marks, includ
ing the 1,500 meters and the mile.
Slaney said she will be ready to re
turn from her 17-month absence
from track competition probably in
mid-May, but has not decided where
she will return.

One of the greatest of all Greek Tragedies, this modem, stirringly poetic
adaptation of Euripides’ play by Robinson Jeffers is a shocking play of fire
and fury; revenge and remorse; magic and murder. Medea, a chilling tale of
a woman obsessed with vengence, provides an evening of sustained sus
pense and horror coupled with dignity and eloquence.
