In basketball, the Cavaliers look ahead to May, not for the playoffs, but to see where they will draft because their losses greatly outweigh their wins. Only the football Browns have emerged from the depths of futility to give the fans something to shout about. Quarterback Brian Sipe has guided the "Cardiac Kids" into the playoffs the last two years, but each year the Browns have been eliminated in the first round. Cleveland fans just can't win. Next Tuesday, July 14, they're going to get a little more sand kicked in their faces as they will be denied an opportunity to see baseball's best in the major league All Star game which is scheduled to be played in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. The rain-out date is July 15, and if need be July 30. The way negotiations are going between the players and the owners, the latter date even appears out of the question. Talks between the two groups are going nowhere. On many occasions negotions have broken off and the two sides have not even met Neither side appears to be in much of a hurry to settle By next Tuesday, approximately 350 games will have been cancelled due to the strike The owners are sitting back stnokinr their cigars and surviving off of their strike insurance. Players are enjoying a summer vacation of sort, and some like Montreal's Bill Lee have made it public that they would rather forget about the rest of the season even if a compromise is met. In the end it's always the fans that have to suffer. 78,000 people have already purchased tickets for the All Star game. It hardly seems fair that a much malign& city like Cleveland suffer even more. Their fans certainly don't deserve it. Twenty years ago, there were two All Star classics played in a year because of the enthusiasm for the game. How the times have changed.
