NEW YORK- Major league
umpires agreed to a new contract
Monday and ended their two-day
walkout, but die deal came too
late for them to reach seven of
the eight season openers.
Amateur umpires, who took
over for the final two days of
spring training, worked all but
one of Monday's games, the first
time regular umpires missed
games during the season since
1979. But they were due back
Tuesday, when nine games were
scheduled.
"Money was the biggest
issue," commissioner Fay Vincent
said. "I think both sides
Under the four-year agreement,
the minimum salary for
umpires rises from $41,000 to
$60,000 and the maximum goes

on merit. The previous agreement
contained many restrictions
that forced the leagues to rotate
umpires for major events.
'The idea was to be sure that
we could reward people for
working hard and performing
well" Vincent said.
Monday's only game with regular
umpires was in Texas, where
the Rangers played Milwaukee
with President Bush looking on.
At Tiger Stadium, where the
New York Yankees opened
against Detroit, former AL umpire
Bil Deegan worked home
plate and three college umpires
worked the bases. Former minor
league umpires were at Baltimore's
game against the Chicago
White Sox and the New York
Mets' game against the Philadelphia
Phillies.
Former AL umpire Dallas Park
was at second base for Cleveland's
game at Kansas City with
college and former minor league
umpires.
The 60 major league umpires
walked out after talks broke
down early Saturday morning.
Management negotiator Robert
Kheel and Richie Phillips, head
of the Major League Umpires
Association, resumed discussions

at 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon and
stayea ai it until a tentative
agreement was reach at 7:25 a.m.
The relationship between umpires
and baseball has been tempestuous
? six work stoppages
in 21 years ? and at one point
in the all-night talks, Phillips
threw a chair across the conference
room, puncturing a
6-by-6-inch hole in the wall.
Phillips said he wasn't confident
going into the meeting, even
though the sides had closed in on
a deal early Saturday morning
before the breakdown.
Kheel, the son of labor mediator
Theodore Kheel, consulted
throughout the night with Vincent,
AL president Bobby Brown
and NL president Bill White. After
the tentative agreement, the
sides spent 44 hours working on
language and signed the contract
just after noon.
The top-salaried umpire under
the agreement will be Doug
Harvey and Harry Wendelstedt at
$201,000. They will make
$175,000 in salary, $20,000 from
the postseason pool and $6,000
for being crew chiefs.
"We got to where we had to
get," Phillips said. "We got to
where we were comfortable."
