Tyson remains in seclusion as questions remain
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Evander Holyfield’s
right ear is in stitches, and Mike Tyson’s
boxing career is in tatters.
Iron Mike, the baddest man of the
decade, went far beyond the bounds of
even his violent sport and was disquali
fied after three rounds for biting Holyfield
on both ears Saturday night.
“We don’t know what's in store for
Mike Tyson,’’ said Jay Larkin, the man
behind boxing for Showtime-SET, which
still has a 1 1/2-year contract with Tyson.
“We’re waiting for a lot of answers.”
Holyfield answered one question
while he was at Valley Hospital having his
ears repaired when he said that since he
has beaten Tyson twice, there’s no reason
to fight him again.
Holyfield did not meet the media
Sunday, but his attorney, Jim Thomas, said,
“At this point in time we do not believe
Mike Tyson deserves to be in the ring with
somebody like Evander Holyfield.”
As for suing Tyson for the bites, one of
which took a one-inch hunk out of the
right ear, Thomas said, “I believe the
action of Mike Tyson
was a tortious action.
Whether Evander
Holyfield wants to do
anything about that,
we’ll have to decide.
“Both of us feel for
the good of this sport,
which Evander has put
a lot into over the
years, there needs to
be some conse
quences,” Thomas said. “It’s just been
hours since somebody bit a piece out of
my best friend. I should calm down
before deciding what to do.”
Tyson
Thomas said his course of action
would be influenced by the action of the
Nevada State Athletic Commission,
which held up Tyson’s $30 million purse
pending an investigation. The commis
sion will meet Tuesday to set a date for a
hearing into the matter of fining and-or
suspending Tyson.
“We could take 10 percent (of the
purse) or $250,000, whichever is greater,”
said Dr. Elias Ghanem, commission
chairman. A suspension would be recog
nized by, at the least, major boxing states
and by organizations such as the British
Boxing Board of Control.
Lt. Dennis Cobb of the Las Vegas
Police Department indicated there
would be no charges filed against Tyson
for taking a swing at an officer during
the post-fight melee in the ring. Don
Turner, Holyfield’s trainer, and Tim
Hallmark, his strength coach, said
Tyson didn’t hit the officer.
And Cobb said, “We kind of know it
comes with the territory.”
Tyson spit out the hunk of
Holyfield’s right ear and it was recov
ered by a casino worker and sent to the
hospital, but Hallmark said when he
and a plastic surgeon looked for it, it
could not be found.
Asked if Holyfield was bothered by
how he looked with a chunk of his ear
missing, Turner snapped, “How would
you feel with a piece out of your ear?”
Added Thomas: “He was angry, not
only because of the pain, but because it
was disrespectful to the sport he is in.
He’s disappointed because he was going
to knock Tyson out.”
The damage to Tyson’s career is immea
surable, but he can still make good money
fighting — villains can be attractions,
Michael Moorer, the IBP champion,
contract with Showtime to fight
whether Tyson won or lost Saturday
Holyfield, the WBA champion, alsolj
talked of fighting Moorer, who outpoii
ed Holyfield in a title match in 1994,
fight might be more attractive at this til
for Showtime.
What is particularly damaging
Tyson is the way he lost, and how(
loss is perceived by the public.
Tyson, who avoided the media Sundj
said that his biting was in retaliation!
JJolyfield hitting low and butting, whi
opened a cut over Tyson’s right eye.
Referee Mills Lane ruled the hi
was accidental. Tyson also was cuton
the left eye by what was ruled an accidei
tal butt in the first fight, Nov. 9, when
was stopped in the 11th round.

CHICAGO (AP) — Derek Bell
and Brad Ausmus drove in three
runs each to back Tommy
Greene’s first start in 1 1/2 seasons,
leading the Houston Astros over
the Chicago Cubs 10-8 Sunday.
Bell hit a solo homer and a two-
run single and Ausmus hit a three-
run double for Houston, first in the
NL Central at the midway point of
the season despite a 40-41 record.
Greene, who missed all of last
season because of back arid shoul
der injuries, started for the first
time since Sept. 16, 1995, against
the New York Mets and was given
a 7-0 lead before he tired. Greene,
who hit an RBI double, struck out
seven in 4 1-3 innings, allowing
four runs, six hits and two walks.
Bias Minor (1-0) pitched 11-3
innings of one-hit relief, helping
send the Cubs to their 16th loss in
23 games. Billy Wagner got four
outs for his 14th save.
Terry Mulholland (5-9) lost his
fifth consecutive start, allowing
seven runs and seven hits in 4 2-3
innings. He has allowed 23 earned
runs in 28 2-3 innings during his
skid, a 7.22 ERA.
Bell’s fifth homer put Houston
ahead in the fourth, and the Astros
took a 7-0 lead in the fifth. Tim
Bogar singled leading off and
advanced on left fielder Dave
Clark’s fielding error. Greene hit
an RBI double with one out, Craig
Biggio walked and James Mouton
hit a two-run double.
Bell was intentionally wal
with two outs, and Sean Bern
walk leaded the bases for Ausmus
who doubled to left.
Rey Sanchez homered with oi
out in the fifth, his first since,
1996, against San Diego’s AndyAshk
Turk Wendell walked,
Glanville singled and Dave
Hansen’s RBI single chased
Greene. Mark Grace greeted Tom
Martin with an RBI single and
Sammy Sosa a run-scoring
groundout, pulling the Cubs to7 4
Bell hit a two-run single o5
Terry Adams in the eighth and
Berry grounded into a run-scoring
double play off Mel Rojas.
Jose Hernandez hit a two-run
homer in the bottom half and
Grace singled in a run. Sanchet

Graham Marsh wins U.S. Senior Open
OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. (AP) — Graham Marsh over
came seven bogeys in the final round Sunday, making
a birdie on the 17th hole and a perfect par on No. 18 to
edge buddy John Bland and win the U.S. Senior Open.
It was the first major championship for Marsh, an
Australian who had come close but failed in his first
three appearances in the tournament. He won
despite a closing round of 4-over-par 70.
Victorious for the second consecutive week on the
Senior PGA Tour, Marsh earned $232,500 by being
the only player to shoot even-par at Olympia Fields
Country Club’s challenging North Course. He is the
first Senior Open winner not to break par since Jack
Nicklaus in 1991.
Bland, a South African who has finished in the top
seven in six of his last seven events but hasn’t won
this year, ended at l-over. Gil Morgan and Tom
Wargo were another stroke back.
Nicklaus, who played well but was able to make
only two of his 15 birdie putts Sunday, was in a five-
player group that tied for fifth at 4-over. He shot 69,
his best round of the tournament. Hale Irwin, the
tour’s top money winner, also was in that group after
carding Sunday’s best score, 67.
Leonard Thompson, Dave Eichelberger and Hugh
Baiocchi were the others at 4-over.
Marsh and Bland, who have played against each
other numerous times over the years and teamed to
win the Legends of Golf earlier this season, went into
the 18th hole tied.
After Bland drove the ball into the short rough,
just in front of a fairway bunker, Marsh sent his drive
about 295 yards down the middle of the fairway.
“My best drive for the week,” Marsh said.
Bland then hit a 3-iron into the trap guarding the
right side of the green and Marsh followed with an 8-
iron within 18 feet. Bland blasted out of the sand and
narrowly missed an 18-foot par putt before tapping
in for the bogey.
Marsh knew he could two-putt and win, and he
did just that. He held up both arms in triumph,
hugged Bland for several seconds and then pumped
his right fist to the cheering crowd.
“Somehow, I scrambled and scraped and got it
done,” Marsh said. “I didn’t have the kind of start I

was looking for, but my plan was just to be 1
patient. It’s easy to be patient when things are
well. The challenge is being patient when things ait
going astray.”
He went into the round with a two-stroke leadovei
Bland, but promptly bogeyed the first three holes.
Marsh’s last bogey came on 16, when he three
putted a treacherously undulating green for a
Bland parred, and both were at l-over going intotfc
dramatic final two holes.
Both birdied 17, Marsh after hitting a 9-iron froi
a replaced divot hole to within 8 feet and Bland wit
a 12-foot putt.
Marsh, 53, who has won 60 championships t
Europe, Japan, Australia and the United States, cap tfo

in 1994.
He was runner-up to Simon Hobday in the H
