the BATTAL
Players, owners continue meeting
NEW YORK (AP) — Instead of postur
ing in public, negotiators for baseball play
ers and owners are talking in private.
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

NORMAN, Okla. (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.
The shuffling by Nebraska and 0
State resulted in Washington falling?
ninth to 1 1th.
The rest of the top 20 were Washing
Michigan, LSU, Oregon, Virginia!
Louisville, Michigan State, Marshall
Southern Cal.
