The Tigers haven't breathed air so rare since May 10 but that doesn't mean they've lost their liking for the upper elevations. The nearer they to Baltimore the better if only they never had to leave Chicago.

It took some doing Saturday, since Chicago insisted on keeping the game close even though the White Sox' had next to nolhing al stake.

"Neither side has wanted a meeting since last Monday," Tt 7. I 1 said-, "but I have made plans to get negotiations started again some time Monday and have so advised both parties." Negotiations have been at a complete standstill the entire week, threatening cancellation of the College All-Star Ga'me in Chicago on July 31, and bringing closer the Wednesday reporting date for veterans of all but six of the 26 NFL clubs.

UNTIL ROZELLE revealed his plans, it appeared that there would be no movement until midweek at the earliest. The owners' executive committee is scheduled to meet in New York Tuesday and the players have asked for a session before the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Wednesday. Rozelle' statement of his plans came after he was tasked about a comment made by John Mackey, president of the A. that he was M.eking Rozelle' help in attempting to resolve the dispute. Mackey, in an interview with The Associated Press, said: "We hope the commissioner Hill atep In with force and have the owner come back to the bargaining table.

The All-Star Game 1 In jeopardy and only the commissioner ran save. it. He. is the man who can put it all together between now and Wednesday. "The commissioner worked round the clock on realignment and we think this Is just as important." There was a certain amount of -irony to Mackey's statement, a 1 1 1 as it did on Rozelle, who is one of the two key issues still unresolved in the dispute.

Rozelle'a powers as commissioner and the size of a pension package are the unresolved major issues. AT THE SAME time that Mackey sought Rozelle's intervention he issued a. veiled i e. against the owners, saying an attempt by the owners in negotiations to gain rights to the players' licensing program was "a strategic move." Mackey said, if the players Association agreed to give up those rights, the NFLPA would be little more than "a social organization" without the funds to negotiate the next time or retain a labor consultant and a pension consultant. Reached for comment on that, Tex Schrmm of the Dallas Cowboys, the head of the owners' negotiating committee, said: "I assume he I rfrrtngto trading card rights a traditional source of (prom for player benefits-Turn to Tage ZD, Column 3 DETROIT CHICAGO hi hi Stanley cl I 0 9 0 OBrien 3b HOD MAulille 2b 4 0 0 0 Anaricio 5 13 1 Kaline lb 3 12 0 CMav If 4 0 2 1 WHorton II 4 2 10 Mellon rf Freehan 3 12 2 Josephsn 4 0 2 0 Wert 3b 4 113 Hopkins lb 4 0 0 0 Maddox rf 4 0 0 0 Berrv cf 4 111 Gulierrei ss 3 0 0 0 Knoon 2b 3 10 0 Lolich .3 0 0 0 Mamusn 1100 WWIIams oh 1 0 0 0 Wood 0 0 0 0 Morales oh 10 10 Total 3J 5 Total 37 4 4 Delroil 400 001 0005 Chicago 002011 (00-4 E-Gutierrei, Wert.
