‘The War’ ends in a draw
Leonard, Hearns battle to 12-round no-decision
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sugar Ray
Leonard and Thomas Hearns, call
ing on skills that were supposed to
have been gone, battled to a 12-
round draw Monday night at Cae
sars Palace, almost eight years after
their first fight.
Leonard, knocked down in both
the third and 11th rounds, probably
earned the draw with a desperation
rally in the final two minutes of the
final round that had Hearns holding
on.
Leonard went down from a right
to the side of the head in the third
round and three straight rights to
the head put him down in the 11th.
Hearns never went down but he
was on wobbly legs several times and
was cut on the left cheek.
Leonard was behind on all three
official cards after 12 rounds of the
first fight and had to rally to win. In
90-degree weather Monday night,
he had to rally again.
In the first minute of the 12th
round, the 30-year-old Hearns
landed eight punches to the head
that had the 33-year-old Leonard in
trouble.
Then, Leonard landed a left hook
that backed Hearns up on wobbly
legs and, for the next two minutes,
Leonard unleashed everything he
had left, while Hearns tried to sur
vive, alternately hanging on, stag
gering about and fighting back.
Leonard went into the fight a 3-1
favorite.
“I want to make Tommy work un
til he slows down,” Leonard said be
fore the fight. Hearns was exhausted
at the end, but Leonard did not have
enough left to finish it.
At 1:20 of Round 3, the crowd
came to its feet. The two men had
just exchanged right hands. Hearns
smiled, then nailed Leonard with a
right to the side of the head that put
the Sugar Man down. He was up at
the six count and, while Hearns
landed several more good shots in
the round, he was unable to put his
punches together.
Leonard appeared to be taking
charge in the ninth and 10th rounds.
He wobbled Hearns with a hook and
a right hand in the ninth, then cut
him under the left eye and hurt him
at the bell in the 10th.
In the 11th round, Hearns landed
a right hand that caught Leonard’s
attention. He followed with another
right that backed Leonard and
pounced on Leonard with yet an
other right, that put him down.
Leonard arose at the six count
and the two exchanged good shots
for the rest of the round.
At this point, the AP card had it
even at 103 points apiece. The AP
scored the final round for Leonard
10-9.
Hearns never forgot the first fight
and, for years, he fretted about not
getting a rematch.
“It’s been a definite nightmare —
thinking about it over and over
again,” Hearns said.
The “Hit Man” from Detroit did
not walk out a winner, but no matter
what the future holds for him, he
was able to walk out of the ring Mon
day night with his head high. Leon
ard had nothing to be ashamed of,
either.
Hearns, in his three previous
fights, had appeared to be on the
verge of being a shot fighter.
He was hurt several times by Juan
Roldan before stopping him, was
knocked out by Iran Barkley in the
third round and was knocked down
Johnson admits use
of steroids since 1981
TORONTO (AP) — Ben John
son, the world’s fastest human whose
Olympic drug test turned his medal
into fool’s gold and sickened a coun
try that adopted him as a national
hero, admitted under oath Monday
that he had cheated with steroids
since 1981.

Johnson, a Jamaican immigrant,
made his long-awaited appearance
before a Canadian government tri
bunal investigating the scandal in
which he forfeited his victory and a
9.79-second world record in the 100-
meter dash at the Summer Games of
Seoul.
In a clipped but calm voice, he re
canted previous claims that he was a
victim of sabotage — or that he had
never “knowingly” taken illegal
drugs.
Still, Johnson admitted that he be
gan accepting blue tablets of the
steroid Dianabol from Francis, with
out knowing what they were, shortly
after the coach had entreated him to
begin steroids. “He was my coach,”
Johnson said. “When Charlie asked
me to take something, I took it.”
He did say that for two years he
took pills handed him by his long
time coach, Charlie Francis, as a
matter of blind faith, without know
ing specifically that they were ster
oids or banned substances. But even
then, “it came to my mind” that the
pills were illegal, Johnson acknowl
edged.
Other members of the Canadian
track team also were taking the blue
pills, Johnson said, and he learned
for sure by 1983 — when he started
taking a second steroid, stanozolol —
about the purpose and illegality of
the drugs.
In any event, Johnson said, he was
aware that he was taking steroids,
designed to build strength and en
hance performance, by 1983. And
he answered “yes” when govern
ment counsel Robert Armstrong
pointedly asked if he knew he risked
disqualification for using them.
Johnson’s story, in the early hours
of what may be days on the witness
stand, differed from Francis’ testi
mony only in that the coach insisted
the athlete was aware all along, be
ginning in 1981, that he was on a
steroid program.

split decision on Nov. 4, 1988.
Monday night’s fight was his 15th

those fights, he fought 126 rounds,

Judge Jerry Roth of Las Vegas
scored it 113-112 for Hearns and
there were loud cheers from a crowd
of over 15,000. Tommy Kaczmarek
of New Jersey scored it 113-112 for
Leonard and there were some boos.
Judge Dalby Shirley of Las Vegas
scored it 112-112 and Leonard kept
the World Boxing Council super
middleweight title on the draw.
But a title was not what this fight
was all about. It was about pride and
courage, which were exhibited from
the opening bell to the final gong.
While neither was the man he was
on Sept. 16, 1981, when Leonard
won the undisputed welterweight ti
tle by stopping Hearns in the 14th
round of a great fight, they both
summoned all the skills they pos

Lakers hope to make greatest
comeback in playoff history
Johnson said that in those first
two years, Francis had urged him to
begin taking steroids because “the
whole world” of his competitors was
using them. But Johnson said that
whenever the matter was brought up
in specific terms by Francis, he re
jected the coach’s requests — and
even once walked out of the office of
a Toronto doctor whose help Francis
had enlisted.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — After
sweeping their first three opponents
in the playoffs, the Los Angeles
Lakers are just a game away from
being swept themselves in the NBA
Finals.
The Lakers, completely outplayed
at the guard position without start
ers Magic Johnson and Byron Scott,
trail the Detroit Pistons 3-0 going
into Tuesday night’s game. No team
in playoff history has ever come back
from that deficit.
Los Angeles took an 11-0 record
into the finals, spurring talk of going
through the playoffs unbeaten. Now
the Lakers must win four straight to
capture their third consecutive
championship.
“The only thing left is the greatest
comeback in NBA history,” Lakers
coach Pat Riley said. “It’s our last
shot and we’ll go after it.”
After sweeping Portland, Seattle
and Phoenix in the early rounds of
the playoffs, Riley has heard what
coaches say in that situation.
“I know what other coaches say
when they are down 3-0,” he said.
“You just try to win one.”
Johnson is listed as questionable
and Scott as doubtful for Tuesday
night’s game. Neither was available
for comment after Monday’s prac
tice session and Riley said it was un
likely that Johnson, the less severely
injured of the two, would play.
“Even if his mobility was 50 per
cent better, it would still be some
thing he couldn’t overcome,” Riley
said.
Riley admitted it would be ex
tremely difficult for the Lakers to
overtake Detroit.
“The Pistons was flying right
now,” he said. “We’ve been riding
the crest for 36 of the last 48
months, but now we’re seeing the
other side.”
James Worthy, who led Los An
geles with 26 points Sunday, said
that preventing a Detroit sweep
would mean a lot to the Lakers.
“If we can get one win, it would
give us a lot of confidence,” Worthy
said. “One win can lead to two or
three. I don’t think we’re out-
manned. If we were, we’d be behind

It was stanozolol which was found
in Johnson urine sample at Seoul,
triggering his disqualification from
the Olympics and his suspension
from international competition for
two years. At the time, Johnson and
his coach offered a theory that some
one had spiked the runner’s pre
race drink.
Later in the questioning, Johnson
acknowledged that he also took
other types of steroids, testosterone
among them, sometimes by injec
tion. The shots, he said, were admin-
isted by Francis, his teammates, or
Dr. Jamie Astaphan, whom he said
he first met in January 1984 and
later became his sports physician.
Astaphan, who once denied ever giv
ing Johnson steroids, has since ad
mitted his role to the tribunal.

They have been referred to a the “Power
Rabbits,” those major league baseball players
who consistently approach the 30 homerun-
30 stolen base plateau, and the numbers are
increasing every year.
Jose Canseco’s remarkable 40 homerun-40
stolen base record set last year is a landmark
achievement for a breed of player that can
not only hit for power, but can steal over 30
bases in a season.
Many of the old guard of major league
days gone by have said that Willie Mays,
Mickey Mantle, or even Hank Aaron could
have eclipsed the 40-40 mark if they had
wanted to.
Mays reached the 30-30 club in 1956 with
36 homeruns and 40 steals. Hank Aaron
reached the mark in 1963 with Milwaukee, as
he collected 44 homeruns and 31 steals.

Merritt

making the stolen base an integral part of a
team’s offense has increased from year to
year, creating such prolific base stealers such
as Lou Brock with St. Louis and Roberto
Clemente with Pittsburgh.
Bobby Bonds reached the 30-30 plateau
five times from 1969 to ’78, and of the 11
players in baseball history to reach 30-30, six
achieved it in the 1980s. This figure can be
contrasted with two players reaching the
mark in the ’50s, two in the ’60s and five in
the ’70s.

But the unwritten code against base
stealing in the majors was strictly adhered to
in their day, and this code prevented them
from reaching a milestone which could have
added another record to each man’s
illustrious career.
No one is really sure why base stealing was
not considered part of a team’s game plan in
the days of Mantle, Mays, Ted Williams or Ty
Cobb. Many baseball analysts have put forth
the suggestion that the player profile of the
day didn’t include a base-stealing quality.
A player was evaluated primarily on the
basis of hitting, throwing and defense. If a
player had better-than-average speed, then it
was considered an aid to their defensive play
and their ability to run the bases, not steal
them.
Since the early 1960s, the trend toward
Many believe that the players of today are
far superior to those of the past. It is a
comparison, like many drawn in several other
sports between past and present, that is hard
to overlook.
Obviously, the competition involved in
major league baseball has increased
significantly over the years, as has the
pressure to perform, be traded or be sent to
the minor leagues. The tremendous salaries
paid to these players is also a major incentive
in keeping a spot on the roster.
Players are constantly looking for an edge
which will put them ahead of everyone elsf
their chosen position.
That is where weight training has comei 5
for so many baseball players today, as man'
practice a thorough off-season weight
training program to maintain their edge
throughout the season. Baseball athletesoi
the past rarely considered weight training 1 '
be in integral part of their off-season or
regular season for that matter. The
competiton for positions on the rosterwasi 1
as stiff, primarily because the farm system''
many major league clubs weren’t as
established as those of today.
Players such as Oakland’s Canseco,
Cincinnati’s Eric Davis, New York Mets’
Darryl Strawberry and Cleveland’s Joe Cat 1
are all poised and ready to compete for the
elusive but not so hard to believe 50-50 ma:
The power hitter that can run hasbecot i
part of the modern manager’s evaluation
system for many players of today, and this
mold is being consistenly filled by a player
who can only play defense, but can add a
dimension to a team’s offense that was not
fully realized 30 years ago.
