HOUSTON (AP) ? The Houston
Oilers are considering an agreement
that would keep the team in Houston
through the 1997 season, i
The agreement would end the
team's federal lawsuit against the
city, Harris County and Astrodome
USA. The Oilers' lawsuit, filed last
month, claims the defendants have
conspired to keep the team from leaving.
The Oilers, who want a new
domed stadium in Houston, are negotiating
with Nashville, Tenn., about
moving to a new stadium there for
the 1998 season.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A group
of NFL pract .ce squad players whose
$30 million award was reduced by
an appeals court, have appealed the
case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The money had been awarded to
the players, who in 1989 received flat
payments of $1,000 a week. The NFL
Players Association claimed they
would otherwise have negotiated
salaries of $5,000 per week.
But the decision, in which 235
players were awarded $30 million by
a jury in 1992, was reversed last
spring by the U.S. District Court of
Appeals.

WEST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) ?
Claude Lemieux, the playoffs MVP

Lemieux reportedly signed a fax of

However, the right wing then

they maintain the contract is not
valid because he never signed the actual

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota
Twins almost certainly will
leave the state after the 1998 season
if they don't get a new stadium or a
complicated $35 million overhaul of
the Metrodome.
Twins president Jerry Bell presented
a bleak picture of the team's
finances to the Advisory Task Force
on Professional Sports and called the
13-year-old Metrodome economically
obsolete for baseball.
CLEVELAND (AP) ? The New
York Yankees did not record an assist
in their 4-0 victory over the Cleveland
Indians, the fourth time that
has happened in major league history.
Jack McDowell, who threw a fourhitter,
had eight strikeouts. In addition,
there were two grounders to
first baseman Don Mattingly, who
made the plays unassisted, and 17
flies, pop-ups and line outs.
The last time it happened, and
the only time in NL history, was wheal
the New York Mets did it against
Philadelphia on June 25,1989.

NEW YORK -The efforts to decerti- Y
fy basketball's union failed today by an w
overwhelming margin, paving the way lo
for labor peace in the NBA. tf
In an election held by the National tf
Labor Relations Board, 226 players vot- w
ed to keep their union and 134 voted to
decertify- The outcome clears the way ai
for the player representatives to approve gi
a new labor contract Wednesday in Chica- ?
go and for owners to approve it Monday s<
in New York. 3.
"Obviously, we're pleased about the
results," said Russ Granik, the league's ti
deputy commissioner. "It demonstrates ir
they will make up their own minds about lo
their own destiny and not be controlled u
by a group of agents and outside lawyers."

of agents, who represented Michael Jor- 1
dan and Patrick Ewing among others, tl
forced players to table the vote and start- lc
ed the decertification effort.
In August, the union and NBA struck ei
a modified deal that was slightly more el
favorable for the players but still closed
many of the loopholes in the league's b
salary cap. That agreement is the one s<
scheduled for a vote on Wednesday, with si
approval needed by 21 of the 27 player f(
reps.
