WASHINGTON — Yannick
Noah, driven from his native France
by the pressure and publicity of be
ing his country’s top player, said he
wants to be the best there is.

Monday night,
defeating Argen
tina’s Martin
Jaite, 6-4, 6-3 in the final of the
$200,()()() D.G. National Bank Ten
nis Classic.
Noah reached the final after beat
ing Jimmy Connors for the first time
ever, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 on Sunday.
“I want to be on top of the top,”
said Noah after upending the tour
nament’s No. 1 seed.
For Noah, 25, the match and his
post-game comments showed how
iar he has come in a renewed quest
for tennis excellence.
Long heralded as one . of tennis’
future stars, Noah began to f ulfill his
promise in 1982 when he ended
Ivan Lendl’s 44-match winning
streak. Before the year was out he
would reach the quarterfinals of
nine tournaments and lead France
to its first Davis Chip Final in 49
years.
In 1983, the 180-pound right
hander captured his countrymen’s
hearts as he became the first French
men in tennis history to be ranked
among the world’s top ten players.
An accomplishment that followed
consecutive victories at Madrid,
Hamburg and Paris.
The pressure of being national
hero, thrust into a fishbowl exis
tence, became too great for the pri-
vate Noah.
He fled to New York City and an
onymity.
His tennis game, meantime, bur
dened by abdominal injuries, had
fallen apart in 1984. Sidelined for
much of the year, Noah’s ranking
toppled.
Marriage and the birth of his first
child combined with a healthy body
to help Noah return in 1985.
He won the Italian Open in Rome
with victories over highly regarded
Jose-Luis Clerc, Miloslav Mecir and
the soon to be crowned Wimbledon
champion Boris Becker.
The spring season continued with
quarterfinal appearances at both
Philadelphia and Delay Beach, Fla.
and the round of 16 in Paris.
“If I play well, I can beat any
body,” Noah says.

SAN ANTONIO — The San An
tonio Gunslingers, facing a 5 p.m.
deadline to pay their team two over
due paychecks, released all 46 play
ers Monday afternoon minutes be
fore the deadline.
Roger Gill, general manager of
the United States Football League
team, said team owner Clinton Man
ges still intended to pay the players,
but he would not specify a timetable.
Gill would not. elaborate on why
the team decided to release the play
ers.
“Our intentions are to play in the
1986 season. We’ve got a year to pre
pare,” Gill said. “Releasing the play
ers now would allow them join a Na
tional Football League team if they
«o desired.
“If they don’t make it with an
other team, we ll give them a chance
to play with us. As soon as we fulfill
our payroll obligations, we’ll start to
pursue players.”
An arbitrator for the USFL Play
ers Association had said if Manges
failed to meet the Monday deadline
for paying the back salaries, con
tracts for all the Gunslingers would
be terminated.
Under the terms laid down by the
arbitrator, San Antonio’s players
would then be put on the league’s
waiver list, and those not picked up
by other teams by 5 p.m. Tuesday
would become free agents.
Doug Allen, executive director of
the USFL Players Association, said
that from his conversations with
players, that the two payrolls had not
been met.
“I’m very disappointed, but not
very surprised,” said Allen in a tele
phone interview from his office in
Washington, D.C.
“It’s typical of the way Clinton
Manges has conducted himself with
this team.”
Earlier Monday, Gill had said the
team was waiting on the league to re
lease $4 , the club claims it is
owed.
' The Gunslingers were not paid on
their regular paydays of June 11 and
June 25.
Manges faced an identical situa
tion in early June, but managed to
meet two overdue payrolls just hours
before a deadline set by another ar
bitrator.
The USFL Players Association
filed a grievance after the June 25
payroll was missed.
An arbitrator ruled the players
would have to be paid by Sunday,
but the deadline was moved to Mon
day so it would fall on a working day.
Guns’ linebacker Jeff Leiding
termed the team’s action a betrayal.
“I never thought it would come to
this,” Leiding said, “for us to come to
being released and the core of the
operation being abolished — how
can you foresee that happening at
the beginning of the year? It’s crazy.
There are no more suprises. Now I
know what it feels to be a steel
worker. I’ve been laid off.”
Guns’ safety Mike Ulmer said:
“I thought he might pull it out right
at the last. But it’s a business. Evi
dently something he did failed.”
Leiding and Ulmer were the only
two players at team headquarters at
Alamo Stadium at the 5 p.m. dead
line. Most of the others returned to
their homes elsewhere in the coun
try after the season concluded.
Former Guns’ head coach Jim
Bates, fired in May, was at team of
fices but said he had no luck collect
ing his overdue paychecks, either.
.“They’re not being sympathetic to
people’s lives and their families,”
said Bates, whose contract still must
he honored. Bates said he still has
not found a job.

the bottom of the ninth inning off
reliever Jeff Heathcock gave the Phi-
ladelphlia Phillies a 7-6 victory over
the Houston Astros Monday night.
Heathcock, 0-1, struck out the
first two batters in the ninth before
Schmidt slammed his 13th homer of
the season, on a 1-2 pitch, over the
left field fence.
Before Schmidt’s game-winner,
three Astros converged on his foul
pop just off the plate. At the last mo
ment, third baseman Phil Garner at
tempted to make the catch, but the
ball popped out of his glove for an
error.
The Phillies jumped on Joe
Niekro for a 4-0 lead in the first in
ning on John Russell’s first major
league grand-slam homer. Two
walks sandwiched around a Glenn
Wilson single had loaded the bases.
Houston got two runs back in the
second on four consecutive hits off
Phillies starter Charlie Hudson. Jose
Cruz doubled and scored on Jerry
Mumphrey’s single. Phil Garner fol
lowed with a single and Mumphrey
scored on Glenn Davis’ double.
The Astros went ahead 6-4 in the
