The new agreement, called “historic” by the Commissioner, gives the owners the economic restraints they wanted as the players are assured no teams will be contracted until the 2007 season, with a revenue-sharing plan to be gradually implemented during the span of the contract.

The visiting Cardinals tighten their hold on first place by shutting out the Reds twice‚ winning 3 – 0 and 7 – 0. Flint Rhem allows 3 hits in the opener to beat Si Johnson‚ then Syl Johnson wins the nitecap over Larry Benton. The Reds are credited with a triple play in the 6th inning of game 2‚ going from LF Nick Cullop to C Lena Styles to 3B Joe Stripp to SS Leo Durocher to 2B Tony Cuccinello.
