NFL Players Association submit counter proposal to owners’ offer WASHINGTON (AP) — The NFL Players Association, which last week rejected the club owners’ pro posal as “garbage,” on Tuesday pre sented management with its ideas on what the contract should look like. The union said its proposal “ad dresses all of the crucial points needed to reach a settlement.” Details of the document, pre sented a week before the union’s Sept. 22 strike deadline, were ex pected to be made available later Tuesday. “We have adapted our contract to some of their thoughts,” NFLPA spokesman Frank Woschitz said, ref erring to management’s proposal. “There are considerable changes from our original contract propo sal.” Both sides submitted proposed contracts to each other in late April when the talks formally got under way. Woschitz said the counterpropo sal was almost completely prepared early Monday. He said the union de cided to delay presenting it to man- spent the latter part of Monday in t. Ca agement so it could incorporate :df some of the findings derived from Monday’s meeting between pension technicians from both sides. “We wanted to wait to check the numbers,” Woschitz said. “We spent much of (Tuesday) morning going over those numbers and the rest of the contract to be sure everything wasjust right.” Management officials had ex pressed surprise that NFLPA Exec utive Director Gene Upshaw had Redwood City, Calif., the training facility of the San Francisco 49ers, when he union was to spend the night working on its counterpropo sal. “That means either Gene has no input on their counterproposal or they’ve been sitting on the thing,” said Management Council spokes man John Jones. Upshaw spoke to the 49ers for 2'/« hours to inform the players about the talks. Woschitz said Upshaw had already provided his input toward the counterproposal and returned in plenty of time Tuesday morning to go over the final draft. “He had planned that meeting with the 49ers awhile back,” Wos chitz said. “Everything was all set be fore he left except for the penison clauses, and there was nothing he could do until we got the results of that meeting.” Last weekend the sides met for 11 '/* hours in the first round of ne gotiations since Sept. 2.

Lendl's 3rd Open wiixrus solidifies No. 1 ronton Ui NEW YORK (AP) — Ivan Lendl can take pride in being only the sec ond man to win three straight singles ddes at the U.S. Open tennis cham pionships. He can also take it as a warning. John McEnroe did it and look what happened to him. Lendl won Monday by outlasting Mats Wilander in the longest men’s final in Open history. The 4-hour, 47-minute match surpassed the five- setter between McEnroe and Bjorn Borg in 1980, which lasted 4:14. Lendl won the grueling baseline battle although he was suffering from the flu. “I was out of juice for the last sets ,” Lendl said. “What got me through . . . was strength of mind and a Tittle bit of luck." “It’s unbelievable," Lendl said of his third straight victory. "If some body told me three years ago, when I had lost my third straight final, I wouldn’t have believed it. I would have said that person was crazy.” Two days earlier, Martina Navra tilova captured her second women's title in a row and fourth in the past By Elisi Stafi five years with a victory seeded Steffi Graf.

But on a cloudy Tuesday, the day after his streak came to an end in the eighth inning of an 18-3 American League loss to Toronto, he may have given it some reflection. “How many consecutive innings has he played?” Cal Ripken Sr., the Orioles’ manager and the shortstop’s father, asked reporters rhetorically after the game. “Whatever it was, I wanted to get everybody to stop writing about the consecutive innings streak, because every place we go, everybody has to write an article on the consecutive inning streak. “And I want to lift that burden off his back. Playing the innings and playing the ball games wasn’t wear ing him. The guy is big and strong. . . . I decided to break the inning streak to eliminate all the articles.” Rjpken, replaced by Ron Wash ington in the bottom of the eighth inning, sat in his locker area sipping a beer and receiving handshakes from his teammates Monday night. “I never envisioned how it would end, I just considered myself lucky enough to stay away from injuries and go out there," he said. “I always knew from a purely practical stand- { joint the manager is in control and ic makes the decisions.” In the dugout before the Orioles hit in the eighth, Ripken Sr. ap- E reached his son and said: “If you it, you’re going to come out." The shortstop answered simply, “All right." Ripken, 27, hit into a fielder’s choice and the streak, stretching over 908 games since June 5, 1982, ended.

EL PASO (AP) — Texas-El Paso basketball forward Chris Sandle has been suspended for at least seven games because of a barroom brawl, Coach Don Haskins said Tuesday. Sandle will not be allowed to play this semester, Haskins said. The coach added that another Miner basketball player involved in the brawl, guard-forward Chris Blocker, is being disciplined, but de clined to be more specific. The fight early Sunday morning at an El Paso nightclub resulted in Sandle’s second arrest in less than a year. Last Nov. 16, he was charged with shoplifting $16.66 worth of groceries. He did not contest the charge and was fined $85. A witness to Sunday’s fight, Phil White of El Paso, said Sandle was ar guing with two women at the night club when one of the women “hauled off and hit him with a cham pagne bottle or a wine cooler bottle.” El Paso police said the argument started when the women refused to dance with Sandle. One of the arresting officers, En rique Rivera, said Sandle was pro voked by the women but refused to cooperate with police. In a statement released by the school’s sports information depart ment Monday, Sandle said the bottle cut his nose and knocked him to the floor. According to the police report, Blocker broke into the club's office where Sandle was being interviewed by police officers. Blocker and Sandle started fighting with police officers, according to the report, and both were charged with resisting ar rest. Athletic Director Brad Hovious said he supported Haskins’ decision. “We also realize there are many who think we have erred in not tak ing a more drastic approach,” he said. “We have considered public opinion to some degree in this deci sion, but ultimately it has come down to giving Chris one last chance.” If Sandle were reinstated at the beginning of the spring semester, he would not miss any games against Western Athletic Conferee 1 ® 11 nents.
