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,

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. It was Carter's
, first game at the Metrodome with
Detroit after nine seasons with the
I Vikings.

Kansas City.
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?
Defending champ and top seed
Goran Ivanisevic beat Paolo Cane
2-6,6-3, 6-4 in the first round of
the Romanian Open tennis tournament.
Also, Alberto Costa upset
sixth-seeded Andrea Gaudenzi, and
Slava Dosedel beat Razvan Sabau.
BOGOTA, Columbia (AP) ?
Third-seeded Aaron Krickstein beat
Mark Knowles 6-3,6-4 in the first
round of the Club Columbia Open.
Also advancing were seventhseeded
Bryan Shelton, Fernon
