(AP) - Evander Holyfield came back to boxing early Sunday morning with a victory, but it was anything but a triumphal one. The former heavyweight cham pion scored a unanimous 12- round decision over Alex Stewart in a match that drew loud boos from the crowd at the Convention Center. "I thought I fought a pretty good fight/' said Holyfield, fight ing for the first time sine he lost the title to Riddick Bowe on Nov. 13. Holyfield not only failed to take Stewart out, he never had him in serious trouble and he fought without much fire. In fact, it seemed what Stewart failed yo do was as much a factor in Holy- field's victory as what the ex champ did. The Battalion Page 3 Highlights at Wimbledon take place off-court Andremania hits England; tabloids placing odds on 'Center Court battle' over Agassi THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WIMBLEDON, England - If this is Wimbledon, there must be love in the air, scandal in the tabloids, rain in the forecast. No, wait, there's no rain. Instead, get set for the battle of Centre Court over the heart and shaven body of Andre Agassi: Holly wood star Barbra Streisand vs. Las Ve gas sweetheart Wendi Stewart, claws bared. Agassi plays Monday against Richard Krajicek, an intriguing match between the defending champion, who has the game's best return of serve, and the No. 9 seed, who boasts one of the fastest serves. But if it is true, as the tabs say, that Streisand, 51, is flying back from Greece aboard Agassi's private jet, and if it is true his longtime girlfriend, Stewart, 21, plans to confront her while they watch this match from the guest box, then there'll be far more attention on them than the players. Streisand, who spoke adoringly of the 23-year-old Agassi at the U.S. Open last summer, reportedly had a secret ren dezvous with him here last week. Of course, it all may be nonsense, but at Wimbledon it hardly matters, especial ly when the tennis is dull, as it was most of the first week. Remember Beatlemania? Wimbledon is in the throes of Andre-mania. Girls and women squeal wherever Agassi goes, snap pictures of his shaven torso, fight for the sweaty shirts he flings into the crowd at the end of a match. They touch him, pinch him, cry over him. "I'm totally in love with him. He's gor geous," gushes Sarah Moore, 14, of Lon don. "It's very hard on him," laments his coach, Nick Bollettieri. "Everybody wants a piece of him." Krajicek just wants to cut him to pieces with a serve-and-volley style that is stronger than any Agassi has faced so far in his comeback from a two-month layoff due to tendinitis in the wrist. Krajicek hasn't done anything signifi cant at Wimbledon since his ill-advised crack last year that 90 percent of the women's players were "fat, lazy pigs." He's still trying to live that down — though he's asked about it after virtually every match — and a victory over Agassi might just make people forget that episode. If the second week of Wimbledon See Wimbledon/Page 4 Price wins Hartford Open Pavin looses three-day lead with bogey on 11th THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CROMWELL, Conn. — Nick Price, using a borrowed putter, found the touch that eluded him at the U.S. Open and shot a 5-under-par 65 Sunday to win the Greater Hartford Open by a stroke. Price played bogey-free golf for the fi nal 28 holes and finished the tournament at 9-under 271, matching the low four- round score on the 3-year-old course. Dan Forsman and Roger Maltbie birdied the final hole to finish at 8-under. "I can't tell you how much this means to me," Price said. "I played so well last week (at the U.S. Open) and to end up losing everything on the greens was just so hard to accept especially since I was putting so well recently. "But this week has more than made up for everything. I'm just glad I found another putter." Last week. Price became upset over ads being run by the manufacturer of his putter. So he borrowed a putter from De nis Watson on Friday, and he started making some putts Sunday. Price birdied the eighth and ninth holes to move into a tie with Corey Pavin for the leaad at 7-under. He then parred the next three holes and took over sole possession of first when Pavin bogeyed the 11th hole. Price extended his lead to three strokes when he birdied the 13th and 14th and parred the rest of the way in. He nearly missed a 4-foot putt on the 17th, however. "I wasn't sure whether to go outside the hole or on the right edge," Price said. "Eventually I hit it on the right lip and just pulled it a little bit. I guess I had enough pace on it. But I was very edgy over that putt to say the least." After two days of struggling with winds up to 20 mph, the field played ex cellent golf on the Tournament Players Club at River Highlands, enjoying calm skies and greens softened by early morn ing showers that suspended play for 29 minutes. Thirty-one golfers shot below 70. Forsman and Maltbie also shot 65s Sunday. It was the third time in five years Forsman has finished second at Hartford. Maltbie lost in a playoff to Mac O'Grady at the GHO in 1986. Pavin shot 1-under for the day and finished fourth at 6-under. Brian Kamm made seven birdies in a 64 to tie the course record set by three golfers in the opening round in 1991 and 1992. LPGA Classic Hamlin saves lead for win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOMERS POINT, N.J. - Shelley Hamlin birdied the 15th and 17th holes after losing a three-stroke lead Sunday and won the $450,000 ShopRite LPGA Classic by two strokes in a record per formance. The victory was the third for the 44- year-old golfer and her second since breast cancer surgery two years ago. Her 9-under-par total for 54 holes broke the mark of 7-under set by Juli Inkster in 1988. Hamlin won the $67,500 top prize by shooting a 1-under 70 and with standing a challenge that at one point saw eight players grouped within two shots of the lead. That came after Hamlin bogeyed the par-3, 14th to fall into a tie for the lead with Danielle Ammaccapane at 7-un- der. Beth Daniel, Amy Benz and Martha Faulconer were all one stroke back, with defending champion Anne- Marie Palli, Judy Dickinson and Brandie Burton two off the lead. Hamlin, who either shared or held the lead after each round, then took con trol at 360-yard, par-4, 16th. She hit her second shot to within 12 feet and made the putt to take the lead at 8-under. Benz and Daniel both got within a shot of the lead at 7-under with birdies at the par-5 16th hole, but Hamlin gave herself some breathing room making an 8-foot birdie putt after Ammacca pane, playing in the group in front of her, bogeyed the hole. That put Hamlin two shots ahead en tering the tight 390-yard 18th hole. She hit her drive down the left side of the fairway and then knocked her iron to within 10 feet to wrap up the victory. Daniel, Benz and Dickinson tied for second at 7-under while Ammacca pane and Faulconer finished at 6-un der. Palli and Burton were four shots behind the winner. Daniel, looking for her 28th career victory and first since 1991, closed with a 69 on the Create Bay Country Club course, which for the first time this week was not whipped by the winds. Benz, who had a second-round, tournament-best 66 to move into con tention, finished with a 68 in her bid for her first career victory. 1986 whe: i from tlii )t progre- wentual battle thii 5500,000. e a 50,0(1 racist UH ;ring "sK 1 s" by saf ake up thi sored con- ntellectuai at writing apeutic, Houston he process »el good.' mditional iportation DOT after udents to ?nt.
