Lady Ags Strike sparks ‘secret conference’

Defense is an area that has
more experience but also feels
some youthful influence.
Freshman defender Diana
Rowe, a local product from
Bryan who played her high
school ball with the Bryan boys
team, and sophomore defender
Allison Buckley joins senior
Kristi Dillinger and junior
Stephanie White.
Hammers, who accounted
for the other three goals, says
the team is coming along very
quickly.
“We definitely came togeth
er very well as a team,” Ham
mers said. “We were very or
ganized, much more organized
than I thought we’d be.”

himself last week.
“It will be a fun and inter
esting experience playing
against them,” Montana
said.
“I just never imagined
that I would play against
them. But the league is
changing and I’m just a part
of that change.
“I’m sure there is going to
excitement and nervousness,
just like any other game.
Maybe a little bit more on
both sides.”
Sure, Joe.
There was a litany of ques
tions trying to get Montana to
say he was bitter about his
treatment by the 49ers.
People tried to get him to
say he didn’t like Steve
Young, who took his starting
job, or Carmen Policy, the
49ers president.
“The biggest thing is that
it’s over with and I have to
look forward to my future,”
Baseball commissioner meets
Labor secretary in Milwaukee
NEW YORK (AP) — With
four days left until the deadline
for canceling the season, acting
commissioner Bud Selig met se
cretly Monday with Labor Secre
tary Robert Reich.
Neither Selig nor Reich an
nounced the meeting, which took
place in Milwaukee and was dis
closed by another owner.
Reich, according to a source
speaking on the condition he not
be identified, offered suggestions
that didn’t appear viable.
Selig confirmed the meeting
took place but wouldn’t comment
on what was said.
He wouldn’t predict whether
negotiations would resume be
fore Friday’s tentative deadline.
‘‘Let’s take each day as it
comes,” Selig said in a tele
phone interview.
As the strike completed its
25th day, President Clinton
urged both sides to settle their
differences.
It was the first time no base
ball was played on Labor Day,
which was established in 1894.
“On this Labor Day, there’s
still time for them to go back to
work and finish the best baseball
season in 50 years — and 1 hope
they will,” Clinton said during
an address to iron workers in
Bath, Maine.
Behind the scenes, union offi
cials and player agents were said
to be talking directly with owners
and club officials in an effort to
establish a framework which pos
sibly could lead to a settlement.
The most-discussed frame
work appeared to involve a “tax
ation” concept that was men
tioned two weeks ago by Boston
Red Sox chief executive officer
John Harrington, in which large-
revenue clubs would have to
share a greater amount of money
than others.
It was too early to tell if the
discussions and ideas being ex
changed would lead to any
thing significant.
The principals — Selig, Rav-
itch and union head Donald
Fehr — planned to take Tues
day off to observe the first day
of Rosh Hashonah, the Jewish
New Year.
Selig said he hadn’t decided if
he would take a more active role
in the talks, a stark contrast to
commissioners Peter Ueberroth
and Fay Vincent, who pushed for
settlements in 1985 and 1990.
Fehr, who was in his office on
Labor Day, said he wasn’t con
cerned about Selig’s Friday
deadline. Selig has said he would
seek the union’s input.
“It’s out of my control, as it al
ways has been,” Fehr said. “I
don’t expect to hear from Bud.
Bud will do whatever Bud will
do. My ability to influence his
thinking and decision-making
seems to be at absolute zero.”
Thirteen more games were
canceled Monday, raising the to
tal to 324.
Tuesday will mark the mid
point between the'start of the
strike on Aug. 12 and the sea
son’s scheduled end on Oct. 2.
Day

myself. Without Ro-
tisserie ball, pennant
chases, the playoffs
and the World Series,
there is a void that
must be filled.
Many newspapers
are running a comput
er simulated season
to relieve the diehard
victims, uh, I mean
fans. As of Sunday,
the Houston Astros
•>nd Texas Rangers
were each only a
game back in their re
spective divisions.
We might even have
an all-Texas World
Series.
Sadly, however,
this simulation pro
vides little strike re
lief, because all it does
is show what could
have been. Imagine
Jeff Bagwell and Doug
Drabek going head-to-
head against Jose
Canseco and Kenny
Rogers in October’s
showcase. With no
post-season play for
the first time since
1905, this will have to
remain an image.
As if the baseball
strike wasn’t enough,
Aggie students, alum
ni and fans that can
not make the trip to
games will not be able
to watch their football
team on television ei
ther. The only alter
native is radio, and if
you listened to the
game on Saturday,
it’s not nearly the
same. Hopefully the
announcers won’t be
making too many
painful calls this sea
son like, “You’d have
to see it to believe
it!!!” When it comes
to the Wrecking Crew
defense and the new-
look offense, actions
definitely speak loud
er than words.
So with no baseball
or Aggie football on
television this fall,
A&M fans suffer two
blows to the chin. It’s
a shame when the
greed or wrongful ac
tions of others can ad
versely affect such a
wide number of peo
ple. Labor Secretary
Robert Reich chas
tised owners and
players, saying base
ball is slowly becom
ing “a symbol of na
tional greed.”
Closer to home, we
find that the irrespon-
sibility of a booster
and the mistakes of a
few college age kids
can penalize more
than a few people.
It’s not right, but
that’s the way the
system works.
Sports in this coun
try serve as entertain
ment and a diversion,
but as Aggie fans
everywhere can attest
to, there can also be
many painful realities
as well.

[Here, last month, 922 good people
got a pin prick, and earned
themselves $46,000 cash
....and helped people they never knew!
They sat back on big leather lounge chairs and
relaxed or studied for exams. They exchanged
recipes, talked about love, children, life,
happenings, boys, girls, politics, tomorrow, french
class, car repair, baseball, fishing,
and delivering kittens. In 60 minutes they were up
and away, cash in hand, feeling good.
You have never opened a door on a
friendlier place and the regular
extra money is very nice.
Everybody needs you.
