"Our viewpoints on a contract are still far enough apart we both feel it's best he go through with the re-entry draft and see what that's like," Harry Dalton said. "We still have an interest in him and hope to talk again this fall and winter." Dalton commented after meeting Friday afternoon with the lefthander, who is reportedly seeking a five-year contract worth about $1.5 million.

Travers, meanwhile, said he had been told by Acting Manager Buck Rodgers that he would not get any more starting assignments this season. "He told me since it didn't look like I was going to be back, they wanted to look at some other peo-. pie," Travers said of Rodgers. "The thing that bothers me is I don't want people to think anything is wrong with my arm." Travers, 28, has a 12-6 record this season and has been with the Brewers since 1974 HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Running backs Jamie Merryman and Greg Ray combined for seven touch- downs here last night in leading Pioneer Christian Academy to, a 67-6 romp over substitute oppo-, nent Beracahah Christian.
