Agassi is star of the show in tennis exhibition
By Jeff Euston Kansan sportswriter
Andre Agassi, an atypical teenager from Las Vegas, Nev., has become a favorite of tennis fans since the late 1980s. He was born on his 16th birthday in May of 1986.
KANASS CITY, Mo. — When you are 18 years old and people will pay $700 for a pair of your denim shorts, you should you’re successful.
Agassi, who has assumed the mantle as the leader of tennis in the United States, was in rare form against Ivan Lendl on Wednesday night in the Jones Store Tennis Classic at Municipal Auditorium. Though won the match 63, 3, 6, 7, Agassi clearly was the star of the show.
An auction benefiting cancer research for children before the match illustrated Agassi's extraordinary popularity.
Agassi's tennis racket drew a price of $800. A pair of his trademark denim shorts shows $700, $200 and $150. The $150 a spectator paid for tenled' s racket
Banners proclaiming "Agassi is Awesome" and "Agassi Is No. 1" hung from the upper deck. Agassi playfully stuck out his tongue at a line judge who called a foot fault on him and even chased down a loose
Agassi showed up for Wednesday's match wearing a yellow University of Missouri-Kansas City jacket. He smiled and waved to nearly every section of the stands at Municipal Auditorium, where the UMKC Kangaroos play their home basketball games.
"I'll never relate my Christianity or God with winning, but I think that it offers me the peace of mind and understanding that I need to go out there and take the talent I've been given as far as I can. In that sense, it's probably the best for me."

ball for a ballboy between his first and second serves.
After the match, Agessi tried to get the stoic Lendl to trade the first-place cup for his second-place plate.
"I really enjoy myself out there, and that's the most important part," said Agassi, who this year already has won more than $625,000 in prize money and moved from No. 20 to No. 3 in the world rankings.
"Last year I came a long way and a lot of things have come quick for me. I've done my best to keep things in perspective and I think so far I haven't gotten too carried away with all of the recent success."
Early in his career, Agassi had a moody attitude and a brilliant but erratic game. He was best known for his punkish two-tone haircut, not his ability. In May of 1987, he turned to Christianity.
Now Agassi attributes the ability to handle his success to being a borneain Christian.
"I think that religion plays a part," he said. "I'll never relate my Christianity or God with winning, but I think that it offers me the peace of mind and understanding that I need to go out there and take the talent I've been given as far as I can. In that sense, it's probably the best for me."
Agassi represented the United States in Davis Cup competition and then advanced to the semifinals of the French Open, where he lost to Mats Wilander, the eventual champion. At the U.S. open in Paris, Agassi and fellow Covinors in straight sets before falling to Lendl in the semifinals.
But Agassi still is looking to get better.
"Next year I look forward to hopefully improving my game," he said. "Not only in the areas that I'm good now, but I want to add more to my game and to maybe go a little higher in the rankings."
But Agassi said he would not play at Wimbledon again this year. Last year, Agassi chose to return home to Las Vegas rather than play in the world's most prestigious tournament.
"Hopelessly in 1990 I'll play Wimbledon," he said. "Right now it doesn't look like it's going to fit into my schedule next year."
The tournament officials at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club allow only predominantly white clothes to be worn by the players, so Agassi's denim shorts would not be welcome.
"That's just one of the few reasons I haven't played Wimbledon," he said. "But if i do play Wimbledon, I'll be wearing white denim."
CHIEFS SUSPEND PALMER: Kansas City Chiefs running back Paul Palmer was suspended from the team yesterday, apparently because of comments he made on the team bus about the coaching staff, according to some players.
suspect A Chiefs player who requested anonymity told the The Kansas City Star and Times that Palmer was suspended because he said he did not think the coaching staff would return next season. The comments, made on a team bus Saturday, reportedly were overheard by strength and conditioning coach C.T. Hewgley.

Kicker Nick Lowery would not confirm any comments made specifically by Palmer but said many of the players on a bus going to a practice ground were also joking. "Some things were said that they were taken wrong," Lowery said.

Last month, Tyson attended services at the church and prayed with Payden, who gave him a Bible. "Mike, you have a way of knocking men down. But Jesus has a way of knocking men down." Payden told the chummon at the time.
"mike, now your job is to take the message of Christ to the people," said Payden, who presided with
Jackson at a four-hour service that ended with the baptisms of Tyson and 24 other people.
The champion had appeared at the church on Wednesday to give away 500 free turkeys.
Tyson did not speak during the service, nor did he make any comment to the press before or after the service.
Paiden said then that he had been called by King and Cleveland City Council President George Forbes, the pastor. "Mike needs your help."
The boxer has been beset by personal problems since he knocked out Michael Spinks for the undisputed heavyweight championship in June.
He suffered a broken hand in a street brawl with heavyweight boxer Mitch Green, a concussion when he rammed his car into a tree, then became involved in divorce proceedings with actress Robin Givens, whom he had married in February. His career also is caught in a tug-of-war between his manager, Bill Cayton, and King
