"We felt we had young people playing well and had to do it." Banaszak, a seven-year vet 1 If gu- By The Associated Press The closer it gets to the National League Football regular season, the more familiar the names on the waiver wire become.

L.C. Greenwood, the last remaining member of Pittsburgh's "Steel Curtain" defensive line, was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, the day teams had to trim their rosters to 60 players. Terdell Middleton, a rusher for Green Bay in 1978, was waived by the Packers. And place-kicker Benny Ricardo, the New Orleans player representative who once made an NFL-record 29 straight field goal attempts from inside 40 yards, was cut by the Saints. Among those also waived Tuesday were linebacker Ed Simonini, a six-year player with Baltimore; defensive back Ricky Churchman, a San Francisco starter in 1980 who has been plagued by injuries; and veteran defensive end John Banaszak, released by the Steelers.

Teams have to be down to 49 players by next Monday. "I didn't say anything when I came in, and I'm not going to say anything when I go out," said Greenwood, a week shy of his 36th birthday. He was the oldest Steeler and the only one left from the first Pittsburgh team Chuck Noll coached in 1969. The 6-6U, 250-pound Greenwood played in six Pro Bowls but saw only limited action in Pittsburgh's three exhibition games this year. "It's tough.

It's not easy," eran, started 12 games last year. He played in tne 1979 and 1980 Super Bowls. "Mv services were longer needed," Banaszak said. "It certainly wasn't an easy decision on Chuck's part." In Green Bay, Middleton gained 1,116 yards for the Packers in 1978, his second season in the NFL. Since then, however, his production has dropped and he gained only 181 yards last year.

New Orleans decided to keep fourth-round draft choice Morten Andersen who made three of six field goal attempts in the preseason rather than Ricardo, who made two of two. But Ricardo said being the team's player representative sealed his fate. "I think all of that added up, and I was just not a welcome sight around there," Ricardo said. Last year was Ricardo's worst In the NFL, as he made only 13 of 26 field goal attempts. When he previously played for Detroit, however, he made 29 in a row from Inside 40 yards.

"It didn't matter if Morten Andersen had been 0-50 and I was 50-50. It wouldn't have mattered at all." completed the shutout to earn his 26th save. The Braves took a 1-0 lead in the fourth Inning without benefit of a hit against loser Ed Farmer, then went up 2-0 In the sixth on an RBI single by Bob Horner and 3-0 In the eighth on an RBI single by Dale Murphy. Dodgers 4, Cardinals 1 Burt Hooton earned his first victory In more than four months, hurling Los Angeles over St. Louis.

Hooton, 2-5, who has been on the disabled list twice this season, pitched into the eighth inning before Steve Howe picked him up, preserving the triumph with his 12th save. Hooton, scattered seven hits while walking one and striking out two, in his fifth start since knee surgery on June 21. His only previous victory this season was a one-hit, 4-0 shutout over Philadelphia April 29. The Dodgers got all the runs they needed by scoring three times off Steve Mura, 11-9, in the first. Pirates 7, Padres 1 Jason Thompson drove in three runs with a pair of homers, and Manny Sar-miento scattered nine hits to lead Pittsburgh over San Diego.

Mike Easier added a two-run homer as the Pirates roughed up San Diego starter John Montefusco, 9-9, for six runs In the first five innings.

But Householder foiled the strategy by lining a single to right. Charlie Leibrandt, 4-7, the fifth Reds' pitcher, worked the final two innings.

Donlan said other alleged violations include: "Union insistence that members of its executive comnmittee and board of representatives receive preferential treatment; union insistence on bargaining over illegal subjects of bargaining; bargaining to impasse over permissible subjects of bargaining; insisting that the council remedy alleged unfair labor practices before a settlement can be reached; bypassing the council in dealing directly with clubs with respect to urinalysisis testing, and engaging in other dilatory and evasive tactics."

Richmond third baseman Brook Jacoby nosed out Gerald Perry, the Braves' criticized umpire Dallas Parks during the weekend. Parks had ejected New York's Roy Smalley in Toronto on Saturday for disputing a called third strike in a game against the Blue Jays.

Parks ejected New York designated hitter Oscar Gamble on Friday night after Gamble was called out on a play at first base. Parks later reversed his call when the ball was dropped. Steinbrenner, in a statement released in Toronto Sunday, called the ejections "ludicrous" and said Parks "has had it in for the Yankees ever since I labeled him and several of the umpires as scabs because they worked American League games in 1979 during the umpires' strike." MacPhail, responding to Steinbrenner's remarks, said he felt "parts of it are objectionable. In the release, Mr. Steinbrenner asks that the matter of umpiring be placed on the agenda for our next league meeting.

This will be done." "I am also placing on that agenda the matter of intemperate, petulant and problem-causing public statements by baseball personnel and the question of how the league feels such should be dealt with." By The Associated Prest Nolan Ryan hit the spot for the Houston Astros. "I've never seen him more overpowering," said catcher Alan Ashby. "He was right at the corners." Ryan's picture-perfect performance almost resulted in an unprecedented sixth career no-hitter Tuesday night. He lost it in the eighth on Ron Hodges' clean single to left field and settled for a two-hit, 4-0 victory over the New York Mets. "The ball Hodges hit was on the black (of the plate)," said Ashby.

"He knew it, and he hit it the only way he could." "Nolan's ability doesn't surprise me," Ashby continued. "What surprises me is that a human being has that much ability." Ryan, 14-9, walked three and struck out nine to run his season strikeout total to an even 200, the ninth season he has reached that plateau. Hodges' hit admittedly dismayed Ryan, but not enough to shake him completely. "There was no letdown after the hit," he said. "You have to keep It all in perspective." Almost lost in Ryan's fine performance was the Mets' growing losing streak, which reached 15.

The streak is the longest In the majors this year and the Mets' longest since they lost 15 straight in 1963. The Astros scored a run against Ed Lynch, 2-6, in the first inning when Dickie Thon led off with a double, was balked to third and came home on Tony Scott's grounder. Houston added two runs in the seventh on RBI hits by Ashby and Danny Heep, and scored its final run in the ninth off reliever Charlie Puleo on Scott's RBI single. Braves 3, Phillies 0 Tommy Boggs, pitching for the first time since injuring his shoulder April 20, threw six shutout innings as Atlanta beat Philadelphia. Boggs, 2-0, who suffered a slight tear in his shoulder in the spring, allowed three hits, struck out two and walked two.

Commissioner Chet Simmons said, however, that he sincerely hoped there will be strike since its long range effects would hurt all of professional football. "I imagine a strike for a period of time this fall would permit more exposure during our league's formation period," Simmons said.

Noting that the start of the league's first season is still six months away, Simmons said is anxious to begin and uncork the lightning in the bottle" that is his new league.

The three division winners and a fourth team, with the best record other than a division winner, will advance to the playoffs.

During the 18-game regular season, each team will play other members of its division on a home-and-home basis. The remainder of the schedule will be determined from among the league's remaining eight teams, with each team appearing on the schedule at least one time. Simmons also announced plans to hold the league's inaugural college draft on Jan. 4, 1983, at the completion of the New Year's Bowl games. The new league has come under fire from the NCAA for scheduling the drafting of collegians in the middle of their senior year.

The league has adopted a rule to offer, within its standard player contract, a scholarship incentive program to encourage athletes to return to school for their degrees. "Our aim is two-fold," Simmons said. "To protect the (college) eligibility of players and provide incentive to graduate we don't know what else we can do."

NEW YORK (AP) The National Football League's Management Council, whose executive committee is meeting again, has charged the NFL Player's Association with 12 counts of unfair labor practices.

The council said Tuesday that it filed with the National Labor Relations Board a total of 12 counts of violations of the National Labor Relations Act against the players' association. Today, the executive committee was to hold a regularly scheduled meeting here to discuss the labor problems between the council and the players' union. The executive committee is made up of several NFL team owners. In July, the players' association filed an unfair labor practice against the council. That complaint, concerning information the union said it needed to bargain with the council, was heard by NLRB Administrative Judge Julius Cohn, who is expected to make a ruling after Labor Day.

The council, in its claim, said in part that the union "has sought to dictate the composition of the management bargaining committee; has demonstrated a 'locked mind' in connection with its pereentage-of-gross-revenue proposal; has failed to meet and bargain at reasonable times and places with management representatives; has failed and refused to present a bargaining proposal, and has failed and refused to bargain in good faith over the subject of urinalysis testing." Jack Donlan. the council's executive director, said the council was "putting on paper the things we've been saying all along." The union has demanded that clubowners come to the bargaining table. The council maintains that the demand violates labor laws which say a union cannot insist on meet MANY YEARS According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the 1982 college football season is the 114th. circulated no he I've classified page auto garage sale Advocate merchandise.

Noting that his league hopes to build on the excitment of the NFL season and the Super Bowl, Simmons said he hopes the NFL can quickly put its labor problems behind it. "We would hope the excitment of pro football will spin off into the United States Football League," he said. A players' union is not one of Simmons' problems at the moment. "We don't have any employees yet." Simmons laughed. "We will face it (a players' union) when it presents itself.
