McGrath and Jennifer Capriati defeated Czechoslovaks Andrea Strna-dova and Eva Sviglerova, 64, 6-2, in the girls doubles final Monday. "Actually, it was probably the worst match we played the whole tournament," McGrath said.

"And maybe if they had played better, we would have played better. But we didn't have to play that well, and that allowed us to win without me being as sharp as usual." Strnadova and Sviglerova first completed a 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 semifinal defeat of Japan's Rika Hiraki and Taiwan's Shi-Ting Wang in a match halted Sunday night after two sets. Rain over the weekend forced the championships to run over into Monday. On Sunday, McGrath, 18, had played a smgles and doubles semifinal and lost the girls singles final to Strnadova, 6-2, 6-3. She lost in the first round of the main women's draw to Hu Na, 6-4, 6-1.

"I'm very happy I'm coming home tomorrow," said McGrath, Meredith McGrath who plans to return to Midland this evening after eight weeks in Europe. "I'm just really excited about getting home and getting back to life in Midland, seeing some of my friends and relaxing a little bit." McGrath, who won three Class A state titles while at Midland Dow High, will attend Stanford in the fall. Czechoslovakia's Jana Novotna became the only two-time winner at this year's Wimbledon by teaming with Jim Pugh to win the mixed doubles final, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, over Australians Jenny Byrne and Mark Kratzmann.

Snow, a senior from Canton, Ohio, finished fifth among five finalists in voting for last season's Butkus Award, given annually to the nation's top linebacker. Notre Dame's Michael Stonebreaker and Snow are the pre- season favorites to win the award. "I feel real good about being on the cover and everything else," Snow said i Monday from East Lansing.

"Right now I'm thinking about the season. In a lot of pre-season polls we're ranked sixth or seventh in the Big Ten. It doesn't worry me. It just gears me up to work harder. A lot of people have doubts about our team.

We don't have anything to prove to anybody but ourselves." By Perry A. Farrell A plea for All-Star Schmidt to play one more game Los Angeles Times columnist Mike Downey comments on the retired Mike Schmidt's decision not to play in tonight's All-Star Game despite the fans' voting him to the National League team: Amere May of Grand Rapids and 14 from center A.J.

Ludwlg, 33, replaces Rich Kimball, who resigned after seven seasons to concentrate on coaching lacrosse. Ludwlg, an MSU assistant for two seasons, formerly was head field hockey and lacrosse coach at Bucknell and field hockey coach at Pittsburgh.

ICE HOCKEY: Michigan State signed forwards Bill Shalawylo of Warren Mott, Scott he expected Peete with his intelligence, agility and solid throwing arm to contend for the quarterback job with Chuck Long, Eric Hippie, Rusty Hilger and Bob Gagliano. Sanders' attorneys David Ware of Atlanta and Lamont Smith of Denver have set no deadlines for signing their client. But Smith isn't optimistic that Sanders will attend the early camp. "Unless there was some sort of startling event, it doesn't look like Barry will be there," Smith said. "In the absence of significant developments in the next couple of days, it's doubtful.

I don't feel that's terribly significant; most of the hard work begins when the veterans get in." Ware and Smith met with Schmidt in Detroit on June 29 to offer their initial contract demands. "Right now we're waiting on their response," Smith said. Although details are not available, Sanders' father, William, indicated recently that the Lions' opening offer was $2.6 million for five years. Ware said quarterback Troy Aik-man's contract with Dallas and tackle Tony Mandarich's negotiations with Green Bay will have no effect on Sanders' contract. "I think Aikman'sedeal only established one thing what his value was to the Dallas Cowboys," Ware said.

"I don't think it means anything else. Detroit's contract with Barry Sanders will reflect his value to the Detroit Lions. "The Andre Rison contract (with Indianapolis) will have a greater effect because the amount per year is greater than it was last year." Rison, a wide receiver from Michigan State, was taken with the 22d pick in the first round and signed a deal for $3 million over five years, worth $600,000 per season. Last year's 22nd pick, running back Lorenzo White of Michigan State, signed with Houston for $402,000 per year, Ware said. SIGNING NOTES: The Lions have signed one draft choice defensive end James Cribbs of Memphis State, a 12th-round pick.

That leaves them with 11 unsigned rookies and 10 unsigned veterans, including linebackers Mike Cofer and George Jamison, defensive end Eric Williams, punter Jim Arnold and kicker Ed Murray. Somehow, Mike Schmidt got the idea that he did not belong in the All-Star Game. All I know is that Schmidt is the one I want to see play at Anaheim because I am never going to get to see him play again. He is the best third baseman of our time possibly of all time. He is alive, healthy, on the premises, and only a few weeks removed from his playing days.

In my eyes, Schmidt is not an ex-player until next year. He wasn't waived; he walked. So, somebody get Schmidt a bat, will ya? You, Tom Lasorda, you're the National League manager, you're a guy who talks a good game, you're the one who could persuade SO FROM W5) Via Express One Operator Participant Contract required. Sportspeak Pirates centerfielder Andy Van Slyke, after dropping a fly ball that helped cost Pittsburgh a game: "If you had put a microphone in front of my face for 30 seconds, you would have had to edit 29 of them." by Curt Sylvester Free Press Sports Writer Running back Barry Sanders and quarterback Rodney Peete the rookies considered most likely to provide immediate help to the Lions' new stretch offense might well be among the no-shows for the opening of early camp Saturday. Attorney Leonard Armato of Los Angeles said he faxed the Lions a letter Monday informing them that Peete, their sixth-round draft pick from Southern Cal, will play baseball unless he receives a satisfactory offer from the Lions by Wednesday.

And Sanders, the Heisman trophy winner from Oklahoma State and the third player taken in the draft, still is involved in his conditioning program in California, with no immediate plans to report to coach Wayne Fontes' voluntary passing camp Saturday at Oakland University. The passing camp is scheduled to last four days, leading directly into the start of mandatory full-team workouts July 19. So Chuck Schmidt, Lions vice president for finance, is left with the prospect of losing Peete to baseball unless he can come up with a more enticing deal than the Oakland Athletics. The A's, who took Peete in the 13th round of the major league baseball draft, have offered him a signing bonus thought to be at least $150,000 and have told him he can play both sports. Schmidt rejected the possibility of a Bo Jackson-style, two-sport career for Peete.

Jackson plays baseball for Kansas City and football for the Los Angeles Raiders. "I don't think that's going to work for the Lions," Schmidt said. "To really be what he can be in football, he can't play both. To mix the two, especially for a quarterback who needs all the mental work, just can't work." Most NFL teams have been slow in signing this year's draft picks, and Armato said the Lions have been negligent in their handling of Peete's negotiations. "What Oakland has done is called and negotiated and made offers in several different structures," Armato said.

"The Lions have taken the attitude which runs rampant in the NFL, that 'we're the only game in town and you have to play with Peete, who originally was projected as a first- or second-round draft choice, was impressive in a mini-camp aDpear-ance after the draft.
