Ripken on Tuesday with drew his name from the list of candidates to become the Orioles’ vice president of base ball operations — a title that is tantamount to general manager. Ripken, who played with the Orioles from 1981-2001, held informal discussions with Orioles owner Peter Angelos about the VP job. But" the future Hall of Earner ultimately decided the time wasn’t right. “I removed myself from consideration because, as excit ing as the opportunity is, I am heavily involved with my youth initiative, the project in Aberdeen and the Cal Ripken Sr. foundation,” Ripken said. ‘‘I discovered during the proceedings that for me, the timing just wasn’t right,” Ripken concluded. Former Orioles pitcher Mike Flanagan, Detroit Tigers assis tant general manager A1 Avila and former Montreal Expos general manager Jim Beattie are among those still considered to be candidates for the job. Each hopes to take over for Syd Thrift, whose contract Kushner setting up boxing competition NEW YORK (AP) — Times are tough. The market is down and red ink is up. So when pro moter Cedric Kushner and entre preneur Donald Trump tossed around $50 bills as if they were confetti on Tuesday, a fistful of fighters took notice. None was named De La Hoya, Tyson or Lewis — all of whom are accustomed to larger denomi nations. Still, Kushner had plenty, of customers. Grandpa Tim Witherspoon, a two-time heavy weight champion, eyed the make- believe money with more than casual interest. So did Mitch “Blood” Green, who was not invited to the party, but decided to make a guest appearance any way and shadow- boxed in the back 4* This is a unique situation in the world of boxing that is known to have a lot of unique situations. — Cedric Kushner boxing promoter wrinkle on the program, inviting the eight heavyweights for a one- night box-off. There will be four quarterfinals, with the winners advancing to a pair of semifinals before the final. All are 3-round bouts. “This is a unique situation in the world of boxing that is known to have a lot of unique situa tions,” explained Kushner, flanked by two models in bikinis who are not on the card. “Times are difficult in the world of boxing in terms of tele vision. There’s a cutback. There’s a need for cre ative ideas like this.” Creativity is fine. A paycheck is better. “I’m in because my kids like to eat,” said Thompson, who is 17-1 and father of seven. of the room, just in case he was needed. Boxing’s next great promo tion, courtesy of Kushner, is a Nov. 30 pay-per-view show at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City carrying a winner-take-all payoff of $100,000. These are hard times in boxing and Kushner had no trouble find ing fighters happy to sign on for a bargain basement price. Besides Witherspoon, the all heavyweight card has undefeated Gerald Nobles; Italian Olympic bronze medalist Paolo Vidoz; Jeremy Williams; Ray Austin; Maurice Harris; Anthony Thompson; and Derrick Jefferson. The matches will be made by a blind draw two weeks before the show. Trump, summoned from a board meeting for the event, opened an attache case to show off the loot, and then made a quick exit, probably to deal with issues carrying much higher stakes. Kushner put a little different His biggest previous purse was $6,000, so $100,000 sounded pretty good. He has made as lit tle as $600 for three rounds. Each 3-rounder on Kushner’s card pays $5,000 on top of the final fight payoff. For Witherspoon, whose biggest payday was $800,000 to fight Ray Mercer and has made plenty less than that in other fights over a career that began in 1979. “I’ve got to stop,” said Witherspoon, who will be 45 in December. “I don’t want to wind up in a wheelchair like Greg Page or unable to speak like Ali. I’ll have a couple of more last hur rahs, this one, maybe one more.” He thinks about his 4-year-old granddaughter, who confronted him after he knocked out Darroll Wilson in March. “She said, ‘Poppa, why did you do that to that man?”’ Witherspoon said his interest in this affair is strictly altruistic. He is doing it, he said, for the good of the game. /3 bills, g real 694-3163 Great location, jrge bdrros.
