They found, however, few non union players to confront. Free agent defensive lineman Tony Fitzpatrick, currently on the team’s injured reserve list, left the practice facility after getting his in jured shoulder treated. Several players shouted, “Scab,” as Fitzpatrick drove through their picket line. “I’m not a union member and I’m not crossing their picket line,” Fitz patrick said. “I’m just going to get treatment on my shoulder. They (union) haven’t done anything for me yet. I believe in a lot of things they say, but until I’m in the union I’m just trying to get ready to play.” The Oilers picket line ranged from 28 to 33 players as the deadline passed for a 12:30 p.m. team meet ing of non-union pla' the club. players signed by Three security guards were posted at the gate in front of the practice field but there were no inci dents. Picketing players were in a jovial mood, although tight end Jamie Wil liams said the team was serious about the walkout. “I’m really upset because they’re acting like kids, and it’s mostly the owners,” Williams said. “We don’t need to be out here doing this. They should have gotten this settled long ago.” Oilers quarterback Warren Moon, the team’s player representative, said pickets would resume daily be tween 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. but would not continue indefinitely. “We’ve got the picket lines up now just to see who will cross the picket line and how many scabs they bring in,” Moon said. “The pickets will drop off when we start working out.” Williams said he thought about bringing his dog to walk the picket line. “He’s real ornery,” Williams joked. “I started to bring him out here and sic him on a scab.” Dorsett: Pokes’ stance on strike still unsure IRVING (AP) — The Dallas Cow boys players voted Tuesday to strike, but running back Tony Dorsett said it was not unanimous and added “there are a lot of uncomfortable people.” None of the Cowboys showed up for a scheduled 2 p.m. CDT team meeting, and President Tex Schramm said the club will begin is suing uniforms to 45 free agents ex pected to report. Quarterback Danny White, an outspoken critic of the 1982 NFL players’ strike, said he would honor Wednesday’s picket lines which will be set up outside the Cowboys’ Val ley Ranch headquarters at 8:30 a.m. “It’s not an easy dacision because I’m losing $45,000 a game,” White said. “But I support the team. I’m not a supporter of the union or man agement.” Defensive tackle Randy White, however, may cross the picket lines on Wednesday, said a player who asked not to be identified. “Nobody wants to strike and we want to get this resolved,” said Dor sett, whb stands to lose $28,000 per game. “I feel the strike should have been avoided, (but) I’ll be there with a picket sign in my hand. ” The union leaders spoke at a Cowboys team meeting at the invita tion of player respresentative Doug Cosbie, who later refused to talk to the media. Another possible holdout, line backer Eugene Lockhart, said he had decided to walk. “I’m with the team,” Lockhart said. Linebacker Jeff Rohrer said the Cowboys wouldn’t be happy with picket crossers. “I don’t see how those guys who cross (the picket lines) can look at themselves in the mirror,” Rohrer said. “I could forgive ’em, but I couldn’t forget ’em. My grandfather was in the Teamsters union.” Some of the Dallas players said they had complete faith in the union. Schramm said the Cowboys would “welcome any players back any time they wished to come to Valley Ranch” and said the team was “del uged by requests from players and their agents to join the team. We’ve also received a lot of fan interest by mail.” The Cowboys are scheduled to play Buffalo in Texas Stadium Sun day, but the NFL likely will postpone that game, Schramm said. Astros near elimination ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff Blauser drove in four runs with a triple and a pair of singles Tuesday, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros. Blauser’s triple in the second in ning gave fellow rookie Kevin Cof fman, 1-3, a lead he and reliever Chuck Cary protected for Coffman’s first major-league victory. Coffman, who was making his fourth major league start, gave up four hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked five. The Astros will be eliminated from the NL West race with a combi nation of three Houston losses or San Francisco wins. Blauser’s first single came with the bases loaded in the third and scored two runs. The other single drove in a run in the fifth. Paul Runge walked with two outs in the second and scored when Blauser tripled into the right-center field gap against Houston starter Bob Knepper, 8-16. Albert Hall led off the Braves’ third with his second straight single, stole second and scored as Gerald Perry doubled. After Dale Murphy walked and went to second as Perry was thrown out attempting to steal third, Gary Roenicke walked and Ozzie Virgil singled to score Mur phy. Runge was safe on a fielding er ror by shortstop Craig Reynolds, loading the bases. Blauser then sin gled in two runs.
