SPORTSLOOK BASEBALL NEW YORK (AP) ?Though Bud Selig won't be pinned down, the rest of baseball is braced for what may be inevitable: the cancellation of the season today or Wednesday. There was no bargaining as the strike passed its 32nd day, 1 OQA lAnUnnl oa fUn ilia lulling tiic tuvauuu as uic second-longest work stoppage in major league history. Sebg, the acting commissioner, wouldn't establish a date for calling off the season but did say the end of the season was "very close." CINCINNATI?A lawyer for Cincinnati Reds outfielder Deion Sanders said Sanders would plead innocent today to criminal charges resulting from an alleged scuffle with a city police officer at Riverfront Stadium. Last week, police filed a new felony charge of failure to comply with a police officer's order and a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident. Those allegations were in addition to the original misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and failing to provide a driver's license. FOOTBALL WASHINGTON?The National Labor Relations Board awarded NFL players a record $30 million in back pay arising from the 24-day strike in 1987. The award is the result of charges brought against football owners by the National football League Players Association. The association had sought restoration of wages and bonus incentives lost when the NFL Management Council that year refused to allow players to play in games on the.weekend of Oct 18-19 after they had unconditionally ended the walkout. PONTIAC, Mich.?A broken collarbone will sideline Detriot Lions wide receiver Anthony Carter for six to eight weeks. Carter broke his collarbone and scapula during Sunday's 10-3 loss at Minnesota.

Dent was expected to undergo surgery on his right medial collateral ligament as early as today and could miss most of the year. NEW ORLEANS, La ?New Orleans Saints running back Mano Bates, the team's second-round draft pick this year, will miss up to six weeks after having his jaw broken by teammate Lorenzo Neal. The incident, at a lounge owned by former Saint Rickey Jackson, followed New Orleans' loss to Washington. Saints coach Jim Mora did not think the players were drunk but said they did not know if they had argued or exactly what prompted Neal to hit Bates. BASKETBALL NEWARK, N.J. ?A federal judge upheld the contracts of NBA players A.C. Green, Chris Dudley and Toni Kukoc, rebuffing the league's claim that the deals circumvented the salary cap. However, the decision by U.S. District Judge Dickinson Debevcise left free agent Horace Grant in limbo less than four weeks before training camp. The former Bulls forward wants his $22 million contract with Orlando upheld. The judge said he was unable to determine whether that deal was intended to get around the cap. Green of Phoenix, Kukoc of Chicago and Dudley of Portland recently signed new deals, using contract clauses that allowed them to become free agents after one year. Because they re-signed with their old teams, the new contracts weren't subject to salary cap limitations. TENNIS BUCHAREST, Romania?
