The sides met Monday afternoon, again in the evening and briefly Tuesday morn ing. Negotiators, who took pointed jabs at each other in public comments after exchanging proposals last weekend, were suddenly silent. “We had some informal conversations, that’s it,” Gene Orza, the union’s No. 2 offi cial, said without disclosing details. Some players thought a faction of hard line owners still doubted the union would go through with its strike, scheduled to start with Friday’s games. “I don’t know if they think we’re bluff ing,” Los Angeles Dodgers player repre sentative Paul Lo Duca said. "We never have before.” Time was running short for a settlement that would prevent baseball’s ninth work stoppage since 1972. During the weekend, the sides reacted angrily to each other’s proposals. “It was a tough night for us a couple nights ago,” Boston's Johnny Damon said. “We are definitely bridging the gap and, hopefully, we can continue to play base ball.” In 1994, the sides didn't start bargaining until three months after the start ot strike, which dragged on for 232 days and led to the first cancellation of the World Series in 90 years. Negotiators spent Monday discussing the key economic issues, one management offi cial said, speaking on the condition he not be identified. “I think we're a lot closer than what we hear in the media,” said Brandon Inge, Detroit’s assistant player representative. “I honestly don't think we will go out. I hope not. I think we are fairly close and have made a lot of progress from where we started. Even if it goes down to the last day, as long as we get together, it will be a good thing.” Owners want vastly increased revenue sharing and a luxury tax to slow the spend ing of high-payroll teams. Players have agreed to revenue sharing increases, but pro posed a lower level than management wants and asked to phase in the changes, which management opposes. On the luxury tax, owners want higher tax rates and lower thresholds than the play ers do. Owners regard the union’s proposal as ineffective, and players think manage ment’s plan would act like a salary cap. Owners increased the tax threshold Sunday from $102 million to $107 in the first three years of the new cot and to $11 1 million in 2006. The port payrolls above that figure would be using the average annual value of rosters plus about $7.7 million pertej benefits. Players have proposed threshold $125 million next year, $135 2004, $145 million in 2005 andnotati:! final season of the deal — another bic of contention. Owners gave proposed tax rates of?: percent, depending on the numberoftiis team exceed the threshold, while | have proposed rates of 15-40 percent As for revenue sharing, ownerspn that teams share 36 percent of their generated revenue, up from 20 percen! year. The teams’ previous plan was3ij cent, and the union moved up to 33J) cent in its Saturday proposal. The owners’ plan would transfer): million annually from baseball's rd teams to its poorest, using 2001 reveniej ures for analysis. Because the union'i) posal phases in changes, the players: posal would transfer $172.3 million ini $195.6 million in 2004. $219 min 2005 and $242.3 million in 2006 COMPANY Oklahoma joins Miami in tie for AP No, MATTHEW Ft PETRUS JOP MARK EVER!

(AP) — Miami and Oklahoma, the last two national champions, hope to wind up playing in the Fiesta Bowl in January for another title. For now, they’ll share in a little history. Without playing a game, Oklahoma moved into a tie with the Hurricanes for No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. It’s just the fourth tie in the 66-year history of the poll. “Some people must have snuck in to see how well we played in practice last week,” said Sooners coach Bob Stoops, whose team last held the No. 1 spot after winning the 2000 national championship. Oklahoma can thank Florida State, which began the season at No. 3 but fell to fifth this week after having to hold on for a 38-31 vic tory over Iowa State on Saturday night. Miami, which also hasn’t played a game this season, and Oklahoma each received 27 first-place votes and 1,758 points in the media poll. Texas and Tennessee moved up one spot apiece, to third and fourth, respec tively. In the USA Today/ESPN poll of coaches. Miami remained No. 1, followed by Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Florida State. The last tie in the AP poll came Oct. 18, 1992, between Washington and Miami. The other ties were Nov. 27, 1939 (Texas A&M and Southern California), and Oct. 27, 1941 (Minnesota and Texas). Vm confident our players understand, you earn your way. We determine our fate, nobody else. — Bob Stoops Oklahoma Head Coach This marks the first time the two teams sharing No. 1 received the same number of first-place votes. The Sooners, ranked No. 2 in the presea son poll, open their season Friday at Tulsa. Miami begins defense of its nationalcki pionship Saturday night at home ag Florida A&M. Stoops doesn't give much weighttoe< season rankings and projections. Hepois out that his Oklahoma team started the. season ranked well down in the polls wound up winning the national title. “I'm confident our players undersu as much as anything here, you earn way,” he said. “We determine our nobody else.” Florida remains sixth this week, foil by Colorado and Georgia. Nebraska used 48-10 victory over Arizona State to mow one spot to ninth, with Ohio State at No. up three places after a 45-21 victoryo Texas Tech.
