Rev. Jackson says sports owners
must end ‘unjust’ hiring policies
NEW YORK (AP) — Rev. Jesse
Jackson met with Baseball Commis
sioner Peter Ueberroth Monday,
then called on the sport’s owners to
do away with minority hiring policies
that they know “are immoral and
unjust.”
Jackson characterized his session
with Ueberroth, which lasted for
nearly two hours, as a “planning
meeting and not a confrontation.”
He said he would meet again with
Ueberroth and hoped to meet com
missioners David Stern of the NBA
and Pete Rozelle of the NFL to form
an affirmative action committee that
would “include all levels of lead
ership” in sports as well as the com
munity.
“We have to work out a plan for
change, and that change should be
gin this year,” the civil rights leader
said. “We need to set goals and a
timetable for affirmative action. . . .
There are people out there who are
qualified for jobs who have never
been considered.”
Ueberroth, who called on owners
in December to hire more minori
ties, said in a brief statement: “I’m
glad he took the time to meet with
me. He had some excellent ideas and
suggestions, and we will continue to
be in touch as baseball develops an
action plan.”
Jackson, who is now considering
whether to run for president as he
did in 1984, threw his Chicago-based
Operation PUSH into the contro
versy over minority hiring in base
ball earlier this month. The action
was spurred by the racial remarks of
Los Angeles Dodgers vice president
A1 Campanis, who later was forced
to resign.
Campanis said on a national tele
vision news program that blacks may
lack some of the “necessities” for
jobs such as manager and general
manager. Campanis had been in
vited on the show to discuss the sig
nificance of Jackie Robinson break
ing baseball's color barrier in 1947.
“Baseball’s owners must recognize
that A1 Campanis was an embarrass
ment to them all,” Jackson said.
While an estimated 25 percent of
all baseball players are black or His
panic, there are no black managers,
general managers or owners.
Jackson said any coalition for af
firmative action should include
other civil rights leaders, sports ex
ecutives, minority athletes and other
minorities involved in professional
sports.
could be "monitored asjol

He said future meetings would
determine goals. “The courts have
indicated that such goals should Ik*

“We know there is attriiioiu
that jobs will be available,"Jatli
said in a sidewalk newsconferewi
f ront of the Park Avenue bi
that serves as baseball’s b
ters.
"Owners must see the
and cost effectiveness”ofal
ac tion, he said.
Whi le not ruling out a
boycott of baseball as a to
battle to open doors, he'said it
not a "matter of discussion n ^
point.”
He said that Hispanics
women, as well as blacks,

Knicks fire head coach and GM
NEW YORK (AP) — The New
York Knicks dismissed Coach Bob
Hill and general manager Scotty
Stirling Monday, in the wake of a 24-
58 NBA season and a third straight
last-place finish.
T he announcement was made by
Richard Evans, the new president of
Madison Square Garden Corpora
tion.
Hill, who had served as an assis
tant coach with the club, replaced
Hubie Brown as head coach last Dec.
1 and posted a 20-46 record includ
ing six straight losses at the end of
the season after the return of in
jured star forward Bernard King.
Stirling was hired Jan. 3, 1986, re
placing former Knicks’ star Dave De-
Busschere as the team’s front-office
boss. The Knicks, however, contin
ued to founder and Stirling was un
der fire for a number of his trades.
Since finishing third in 1983-84
and losing in a seven-game playoff
to the eventual world champion Bos
ton Celtics, the Knicks have been un
able to escape the Atlantic Division
cellar for three years. The team's re
cord over those thn

seasons was
Evans, who moved to the Garden
from Radio City Music Hall on Jan.
1, said the decision on the changes
had been made last week.
“Obviously, I have been assessing
the team since I arrived at the begin
ning of January,” he said. “And 1
know' that no one particular situa
tion caused it. 1 just felt that we were
not headed in the right direction. It
was a feeling on my part that we
needed to start with a fresh slate."
Evans said he had no particular
timetable for filling the positions or
whether he would consider one man
Seko runs to victory
in Boston Marathon
BOSTON (AP) — Japan’s To-
shihiko Seko broke away from the
pack going up Heartbreak Hill
and won the Boston Marathon
for the second time Monday in a
slowly paced race featuring an
elite field and marred by two acci
dents.
For the 30-year-old Seko, the
winner in 1981, it was his eighth
victory in his last nine marathons.
But his time of 2 hours, 11 min
utes, 50 seconds, was disappoint
ing in view’ of the expected fast
race.
Meanwhile, 1984 Olympic
bronze medalist Rosa Mota, run
ning the Boston Marathon for the
first time, was the first women’s
finisher, clocking 2:25:21, the
third-fastest ever by a woman in
this race. She led all the way and
never was threatened in posting
her seventh victory in 10 mar
athons.
Seko’s only marathon defeat
since 1979, after he finished third
in his first Boston Marathon,
came in the 1984 Olympics at Los
Angeles, where he finished 14th.
This victory was surprisingly
easy, in view of the quality of the
field, considered one of the best
— if not the best — ever assem
bled in this 91st running of the
i Boston Marathon. It included de
fending champion Rob de Cas-
tella of Australia, ranked No. 2 in
the world; Juma Ikangaa of Tan
zania, ranked No. 1; Steve Jones
of Wales, ranked No. 1 in 1985
and the second-fastest mar
athoner in history; Olympic silver
medalist John Treacy of Ireland,
and two-time Boston winner Ge
off Smith of England.
But once Seko, the world’s
fourth-ranked marathoner, made
his decisive surge at the “killer"
point of the race with about six
miles to go, he was in command.
He won by 47 seconds over Jones,
who clocked in at 2:12:37.
Smith wound up third in
2:12:42 and Dave Gordon of Eu
gene, Ore., was fourth in 2:13:30.
De Castella, finishing sixth,
nearly met disaster at the outset.
Race officials were slow in get
ting the rope out of the way of the
starters as the race was about to
begin. De Castella tripped over
the rope and tumbled, scraping
his hands and knees. After rolling
over and nearly getting trampled
by the stampede of runners, he
got up quickly and resumed run
ning.
The other incident occurred
shortly after the start of the
wheelchair division, which began
15 minutes before the open com
petition. Four wheelchairs col
lided, knocking two of the com
petitors out of the race with
minor abrasions. f
