"The only reason I'm in this game is 1 can win and I don't get hurt' he said. "As long as it stays that way, I will fight. There's no other way in life for me to make this kind of money." Sibson is getting $567,000 for his title shot, which is almost 10 times his previous biggest purse. Hagler is getting $2 million. Hagler calls Sibson cocky and says he has a big mouth an impression that didn't ring true during an interview.

"I've never eaid anything about Hagler," Sibson said quietly. "Maybe he's psyching himself up. "I honestly believe he's the best middleweight champion we've had in some years." Since Sibson has been training here and Hagler hasn't, the locals have turned a lot of attention on him. He is very appreciative of his treatment and has responded by being very cooperative. Cooperation has not always been easy for him not because of cocki- ness but becauseof shyness.

"He was getting an infection in his left hand and a mild one in his right," said tennis promoter An-drzej Kepinski. "He didn't have to do that (check into the hospital), probably, but he just wanted to get the infection out of his body as fast as possible so he would be ready to play," "He is in satisfactory condition," said hospital spokesman Art Van Dyke. "If he progresses the way he has, he'll be released tomorrow (Tuesday) and hopefully be going to Toronto," for the start of the Molson Tennis Challenge, Kepinski added.

He has credentials the European championship, a No. 1 ranking by the World Boxing Council and a 47-3-1 record with 27 knockouts. And more than a few boxing people feel the S-foot-8 challenger has the agrcssive style and punching power needed to give Hagler trouble.

"You might sec one of the best fights you ever seen as long as it lasts," Hagler said by telephone Monday from his training camp at Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod. The ingredients are there for an. exciting fight, one, it seems here, that will go into the late rounds, if not all the way, with Hagler winning.

In today's editions, the paper reported that broadcast-sports mogul Ted Turner, owner of the National Basketball Association franchise, toyed with the notion of selling the club last week. However, the paper, citing "Turner insiders," said Sunday's victory over the powerhouse Boston Celtics changed his mind. "The Hawks are not for sale," Turner said Monday.

"If the team is successful, the fans will come out." "If I sold all my liabilities I wouldn't own anything," said Turner, who owns baseball's Atlanta Braves, the Cable News Network and "SuperStation" WTBS-TV. "But my wife's a liability. My kids are liabilities, and I haven't sold them," he said. I nounced at a news conference this spring, the newspaper reported. "We hope to announce the tournament fields for the first five years April," said Ken Mease, a sportscaster for KDKA-TV and the president of the newly formed Golden Triangle Athletic Association.

"We've been kind of sitting on It," Mease said. Mease said Tulsa and Baylor have accepted their invitations and are sending their contracts back to tournament officials in Pittsburgh.
