'I 10 Tyson leaves enter ring wi Associated Prow NEW YORK ? Mike Tyson is out of prison. Is Don King out of the picture? Various published accounts Monday suggested that promoter King has lost his hold on the former heavyweight champion, released Saturday from an Indiana prison where he served time for a rape conviction. "Today, I don't think Don King is out, but we'll know in a couple of months," promoter Dan Duva said from his office in Totowa, N.J. 1 think King is out," promoter Bob Arum said from his office in Las Vegas. "I don't care that much, except it facilitates a Tyson-Foreman fight." The 46-year-old Foreman, promoted by Arum, more likely would fight Tyson if King, Arum's archrival, is not involved. Phone calls to King's office in Florida and his Ohio home, located near Tyson's residence in Southington, were not returned. There were reports that Tyson sent King away after the former champion returned to his home Saturday. Promoter Butch Lewis was quoted If .. J ?. \T "TV _ !__ XT _ m ivionaays mew iora. jjany mews as saying, "I was told that there's some sort of rift between King and Tyson. I was told that Tyson wanted privacy and asked everybody to leave, including Don." Monday, Lewis told The Associated Press that "all the rumors being circulated are second and third hand. Fm not surprised, nor should anyone else be, after being incarcerated for three years that the kid would want privacy. People are reading too much into it. I don't take it as a sign that Don is on his way out." The New York Post reported Tyson was angry when he found a Showtime crew in his home, taping footage for a documentary to be aired in April. The newspaper reported it had been told King had made a $20 million deal with Showtime, with whom King has worked for some time, for a combination of the documentary and rights to telecast Tyson's first comeback bout. Several phone calls were made to the cable TV network, but Showtime would not comment.

Boxing promoter Bob Arum fight, not because Don King is the promoter," Duva said. Arum, however, contends the public is interested in whether King resumes his promotional relationship with Tyson. "The public wants to know initially that King is out," Arum said. "King has painted himself as the devil.

Arum admitted that if King is the promoter, "I think people will go to see Mike fight, but the whole aura changes." There were reports Tyson was UP* set because King had arranged for a welcome-home spread that included champagne and shellfish. Alcohol, shellfish and pork are forbiddep by Islamic law. Reports that Tyson had married his 28-year-old girlfriend Monica Turner, a Georgetown University medical student, in a Muslim ceremony in prison were denied Monday by Phil Slavens, assistant superintendent at the Indiana Youth Center. It also was rumored that Tyson was thinking about changing his name to Malik Abdul Aziz. "He ain't changing his name" said Muhammed Siddeeq, Tyson's instructor in Islam while he was in prison, told an Associated Press reporter at a mosque in Plainfield, IncL, where Tyson prayed after being released. "Change of name is not crucial, unless the name has meaning," Dr. Sayyid Mohammed Syeed, secretary general of the Islamic Society of North America, said Monday.

While the league-leading Quebec Nordiques beat the lowly Ottawa Senators 114 Sunday night, to no one's sur prise, tne orrensrve-minaea nttsDurgn Penguins couldn't even score a goal in a 2-0 loss to Florida. The NHL's top-scoring team hadn't been shut out in a regular-season game since losing to Boston 7-0 Jan. 14,1993 ? a stretch of 154 games. They were shut out 2-0 by Washington ? and goaltender Don Beaupre ? in the quarterfinals of the playoffs last year. "We turned it over way too much," Pittsburgh coach Ed Johnston said. "We were hesitant offensively, we didn't get the puck to the open man, and we didn't put any pressure on them at all." John Vanbiesbrouck had a solid game in goal for the Panthers, making 24 saves. "This is a great feeling to beat a team like that, especially after what they did to us the last time out," said Vanbiesbrouck, whose Panthers lost to Pittsburgh 6-5 and 7-3 earlier. "If we could beat a team like that, we probably can beat just about anybody."

NEW YORK ? With the start of the season just six days away, the baseball strike landed in court, and a federal judge scheduled a hearing Friday that could lead to an end of the 7 1/2-month walkout. After a 30-minute hearing Monday, U.S. District Judge Sonia Sotomayor asked owners for a brief by Wednesday and asked the National Labor Relations Board for a response by the following day. She left open the possibility she would make a decision before Sunday's scheduled season opener. The NLRB is asking her to issue a preliminary injunction that would restore the key provisions of the expired collective bargaining agreement rlayers say they would end their strike if Sotomayor issues the ii\junction, and the union's executive board is sched:ctione fitl he new programing o bring ining programs for :ommunity for ds a nifty logo to 'or future events, sitile so that it of ways including and promotional les, graphics, etc. iretion. e 3pm on 3- There is no limit per person. 1 .4 4 4 . ! anemiccea m 33.
