Arbitrator to settle Horner case could ease umpire disputes
Sports editor Merle Jones notes looming arbitration in St Louis over Braves third baseman Bob Horner. The dispute centers on whether signing bonus payments count as first year salary and free agency eligibility. Arbitration by Ray Goetz could shape future umpire and contract rulings. He also highlights other sports moves including Coleman’s university post and Jerry Sloan’s hire, plus NCAA track ticket info.
