By Prte Iritkhk WASHINGTON. D. C. - Marvin Miller has managed a near-miracle in welding together all Major League baseball players, behind one program and one goalunionized power for bigleague players. * His great test, in holding the line and holding the allegiance of players, was underway in the baseball strike. Could these hundreds of players, now without pay after so much lush and lavish and pampered living, take it for a period of months* There are players with house payments, with other obligations, who depend on that salary check. As the weeks go by—if the strike wasn't ended-would they re- « main loyal to Miller and his

union philosophy? The average Major Leaguer was being paid over a hundred thousand dollars a year for nine months. Many were paid more. A 2S-year-old earning $300,000 a year, if he stays out on strike three 'tnbnths. would lose approximately SIOO,OOO. if the strike lasted all season, he would lose much more. As the bank statements came home to roost and living expenses continued, would all these hundreds of players be able to stand the pressure? It seemed almost certain some would realize they had a very good deal, even if dubs losing superstars via the free agent system got some decent compensation.

/A SPECTATOR’S RIGHTS \ w By Chuck Pezzano Though bowling m its various forms is one of the oldest sports known, the professional side is a mere baby. slightly more than 20 years of age So there are still growing pains For years bowling audiences have been almost too polite, taking care not to whistle, cheer, stamp their feet, or heaven forbid, boo when a bowler is into his approach. This type of model behavior has always been apparent, but even more so when the bowlers are competing on TV. Between the sounds of falling pins you can hear the fall of a safety pin. the silence being so deep But at the 1981 Firestone Tournament of Champions one of the fans got a bit earned away by the action and erupted with a cheer for Pete Couture during Couture's delivery and Pete stopped cold, interrupted his approach, and was upset, confused, and actually hurt that this could happen Most of the pro bowlers supported Couture and felt that the fan was out of order Hi'wever. there is much to the other side Fans pay their money to see bowling and in most sports when you pay your money, you can hoot and holler all you desire Bowlers maintain that m no sport are the fans as c’ose as thev are m bowling. often only a few feet away. and therefore, at certain points it is important that the fans be still so they can concentrate The opposite side is that if a bowler is concentrating on his spot on the lane, nothing sl.ouki bother that concentration unless it’s a physical blocking or interference causing the bowler to’make a bad shot It is pointed out that fans in many sports purposely attempt to throw an athlete off by such means as screaming at the batter or waving madly when a basketball player is attempting to convert a foul shot. Most bowlers love an enthusiastic audience It gets them into their game more, gets the juices flowing, and puts them on stage Howlers are performers, as are ail athletes and want to be noticed Pro bowling has changed over the years More people are watching and even more will watch if stadium type facilities come into being tn the future. Spectators sliould never be m a position to be able to throw off a bowler shootitrg for big money in a pressure packed situation But neither should a bowler expect a complete antiseptic, silent, atmosphere. There must be common sense on both sides of the question, but it there is any leaning, it must be toward the spectator's rtght.s. They come to see the pros, and part ot being a pro is the ability to concentrate on his business, in this case, bowling
