Major league baseball talks stalled after a brief sign of movement. Federal mediator Kenneth Moffett scheduled a resumption for Tuesday in New York, then canceled with no date set. The strike entered its 11th day with 134 games canceled, and insurers could pay for up to 500 games if it continues. The Indians announced a farm-team game at Municipal Stadium to entertain fans, while players weigh options including picketing.
