Double standards in baseball suspensions and fines cited
The article argues that penalties vary by incident and person, noting a 1932 Bill Dickey incident with a jaw-breaking punch and a one month suspension for AL president Harridge. It recalls the Black Sox ban and recent $50,000 fine on Brewers GM Harry Dalton for public comments, highlighting inconsistent discipline across eras.

Free Agent Payment Still An Unsettled Issue
Negotiators in the baseball labor dispute over free agent compensation met for more than three hours with no progress reported. Ray Grebey said no progress. Marvin Miller noted little discussion. They head to federal court in Rochester, N.Y., Wednesday where the NLRB seeks an injunction delaying the plan. If denied, a strike could follow within 48 hours. Orioles players Doug DeCinces and Mark Belanger attended.
