Cook Executive Sports Editor I The Friendly Touts One qf the mosl amazing things about racehorse (racks is the perfect balance among spectators each day. For every person seeking a "hot'tip" there's another eager lo offer one. i It's sort of like the stockmarkct. For every seller there's got to be a buyer and vice versa. It's also like those crowded cafeterias.

There are no seals available as the long line weaves past the assorted guodies but a vacancy somehow always appears after eacli new trayload is checked and a fresh hunger hils a lint peak. Again, perfect balance that's hard lu understand. The racetrack situation, however, is even harder to understand. After watching it work-and playing the role of tip seeker--I got the impression that spectators must have held an earlier meeting and one great steward i i cd the gioup etenlv Okay todav you he a lout and vou be a dunnm a vou re a dumnn, tout dumim tout, duniui) else, could It work out so ctcnlv Tliis was rtaclud after the mi Awesome Advenluic chapter of our annual ORT (Oaklawn Racing Tnur) eailier tins week This annual event is of us writing types from scvel'al'sliitcs meet in Dallas and r-ide a chartered bus, to Hot Aik to converge oil the beautiful Oaklavtn track Some from oui group don oven plav the horses but they scoot aiouiiri hustling hot lips to help thur compin ions. lilackic Shcnod, Dallas Times Herald sports editor when he's not (piling as beloved OUT handicap director, slicks with his own svslcni and snubs all tills so he vas a little less confused lhaii others in our group But it must be mentioned that Mi bherrod often seen leaning for ward lo pick up pn ali the lip talk that our There uere-sqmt real expert lip galhereis in our OKI gang, Rudv ilerjlftndo? for instance not onlv was (he per sonal friend uf two joi-kevs but he also knew llu i of one and thu of the other, Father'Fred Bomar.

Clemens 18 FORT LAUDERDALE, (AP) Forest Fezler, whose greatest claim to fame is a former California state amateur title, pulled away to a two- stroke lead Friday over the slrotigesl field of the year after the second round of the rich Jackie Gleason Golf Classic. Gilbert slipped into Ihird place i a 70--139, while Nicklaus birdied IhrcCf.oNlis liist four holes for and moved into cnn- (entinn.al-.142'' 1 "At least I'm hack in the golf toiirnamcnl," said Nicklaus, the prc-lnurnaincnt favorite.

The young tour sophomore fashioned a three-under-par 6'J Sti cool and cloudy for a two-round total of 136 in (bis a that, has the official title of Jackie Gleason- Inverfary-National Airlines Golf Classic. Lee once again brash and brassy, stayed just off (he pace with another 69 on the mvcrrary Golf Club course and was only two strokes back at 138 in this $260,000 event that offers S52.000 lo the winner. Trevino missed a putt pn the final hole when his ball hit a spike mark, which he couldn't repair under the rules of golf. "It is a bad rule," Trevino said. "You can repair a ball mark and not a cleat mark.

It ought to be one or the other. But who am I to change the rules. I'm just lucky I'm not back in Mexico." Nicklaus, however, trailed a group of five at 141 which included veteran Gay Brewer. Brewer, the 40-year-old former Masters champion who shared the first-round lead with Fezler, bogeyed four of five holes in one stretch en route to a 74 that dropped him five strokes off the pace. He was tied with Hruce Devlin of Australia, Al Geiberger, rookie Tom Kite and Curtis Sifford.

Sifford moved up with a 68, Devlin had a 69, Geiberger 70 and Kite 71. Arnold Palmer, a winner in his last managed only a 71 and was well back at 145. Also at that figure was defending champion Tom Weiskopf, who shot a 74. Dave Hill, an often- controversial 13-year veteran, was disqualified for signing an incorrectscorecard. Gleason Scoreboard Settlement Expected On Baseball Talks LOS ANGELES AP) Marvin Miller and many of the players he briefed on Ihe status of negotiations between the Major League Baseball 'Players Association and club owners exuded optimism Friday that a settlement can be reached soon.

Miller, executive director of the players association, was asked after a nearly two- hour meeting at the International Hotel whether a settlement could be reached within 48 hours. "I hope so," said Miller, who refused to discuss Issues involved. He was scheduled to take a 7:30 p.m., EST, flight back lo Now York to resume talks with owners' representatives Saturday afternoon. "We have been meeting daily. We will meet a a Also Sunday--U necessary," he said.

"Based on the last few days, we are reasonably optimistic. "We've been dealing with a lot of Issues verbally and it will take lime to put the agreement into words on paper. As far as we're concerned, we would on that," Miller said. Would the owners? Miller smiled and said, "You'd have to ask the owners." MIHcr said there was no strike discussion and no vote on anything at the meeting. He said he found support from the group of about 60 players attending the first of several meetings he plans with players across the country.

"The players are solidly behind the players association," Miller claimed, "They are more united than ever. The purpose of the meeting was carried out--to provide players with an up-to-date report of negotiations in New York." How do the players feel about a strike? "It is an absurd question," Miller answered. "You ask the owners how they feel about a lockout. That is the question. We have not discussed strike nor threatened strike.
