"The fight is donF- Nov.

8 at Caesars Palace," Don King, Tyson's promoter said Wednesday after clos ine a deal with Dan Duva, Holy-field's promoter. "He had to do it," said Shelly Fink- el, Holyfield's manager. "Once it lost Foreman, where was he going?" King, who has said "we don't need Holyfield," made a major effort to match Tyson and Foreman, the 42-year-old folk hero, but as of Tuesday it appeared Holyfield would fill the Nov. 8 date with a rematch against Foreman, who he outpointed over 12 rounds on April 19. "We had it (Holyfield-Foreman)," Finkel said.

"If thev hadn't contacted us yesterday, the deal was done." Jose Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council, contacted Duva Tuesday, saying that King wanted to meet him, according to Duva, King and Duva met Wednesday at the New York office of King's attorney, Robert Hirth. "Fine" Holfyfield told Finkel. when advised that the fight had been made. It summed up the feelings of most fight fans. Part of the deal, Finkel said, was for "the winner to make a good-faith deal to fight Foreman." "Dan will promote in association with Don King," Finkekaid.

"Evan--vder will be guaranteed $30 million and Tyson $15 million. Evander will get 60 percent of revenues over $48 million and there will be 40 percent over $48 million for Tyson. TVKO will handle the pay-per-view television fight. King had gone to the WBC seeking a 55-45 percent split instead of the "Evander will be guaranteed $30 mil- lion and Tyson $15 million. Evander will get 60 percent of revenues over $48 million and there will be 40 percent over $48 million for Tyson." -Shelly Finkel Holyfield's Manager traditional 75-25 percent split favoring the champion, should a mandatory defense go to purse bids because an agreement could not be negotiated.

The. WBC ruled that the split should be 60-40, but Duva went to court and blocked the organization from holding a purse bid. The International Boxing Federation, whose turn it is to supervise a heavyweight title fight, held purse bids June 11, and Duva topped eight other bidders with an offer of $51,101,000, of which Holyfield would have gotten, 75 percent, or $38,325,750. Duva's Main Events monitor had deposited $10.2 million in the United National Bank of Plainfield (N.J.) as the 20 percent escrow amount required under IBF rules. Under the agreement, reached Wednesday, the guarantees are two- thirds to one-third.

King refused to accept the IBF purse Jbids, saying he and Tyson refused to recognize the organization because of its ties to South African fighters. Earlier Wednesday, the IBF dropped Tyson from No. 1 to No. 5 in FIGHT Page 3, Section 3 -UPI KEm Lands Cowboys Broadcasts By PHIL HICKS Sports Editor Dallas Cowboys fans can relax every Cowboys game will be available on TV this coming season after an announcement by KETK Region 56 presidentgeneral manager Philip H. Hurley Wednesday.

An exclusive agreement with CBS Television will make KETK-TV (channel 10, Tyler, Longview, Jacksonville) and its new station KLSB-TV (Nacogdoches-Lufkin)-the stations for NFC and Dallas Cowboys football in 1991 for the East Texas area. 1 In making the announcment, Hurley said negotiations were completed late Tuesday that will give both stations all 12 of the Cowboys' games broadcast by CBS. It also includes all playoff games in the NFC and, the Super Bowl. The two stations, which are NBC affiliates, already had the other two Dallas games scheduled for NBC broadcasts (Oct. 13 Cincinnati at Dallas and Nov.

28 Pittsburgh at Dallas). The remaining two fowboys' games will be broadcast on KLTV (channel 7, Tyler-Longview) and TNT (channel 20. KLTV will show the Sept. 9 game, Washington at Dallas, and TNT will broadcast Dallas at Phoenix Sept. 22.

After KLMG (channel 12 Long-view-Tyler) changed from a CBS affiliate to KFXK, a Fox-TV affiliate, East Texas Cowboys fans were in danger of not receiving all the Cowboys' games. The CBS station in Dallas (KDFW channel 4) carries the Cowboys' games, but home games are subject to blackout if they do not sell out. Thus; if Texas Stadium did not sell out then the Cowboys' game could not be picked up as the game in East Texas. "We saw a void in the Cowboys coverage and it is such a good market for Cowboys fans we wanted to see what we could dp," said Hurley, resident of Lone Star Broadcasting, nc. "We are very pleased to carry the Cowboys and the NFC teams."

Strange built his year trying to earn a third consecutive men's Open title last year, but failed at Medinah.

King, however, didn't even want to play Colonial Country Club until this week's 46th cham--pionship; which begins Thursday. After a practice round, King said, "It's not as tight a golf course as I thought it would be.

Also, several current coaches will be taking on new assignments. Perhaps the most notable change within the athletic department will involve the high school swimming teams. Instead of head coaches at National Crown More Than Mythical King said she doesn't think the expected near 100-degree weather will be a factor. "We've played in a lot of hot weather recently, and I think the wind will be more of a factor than the heat," she said. King said she has been asked "100 times if I can win a third one.

HI find out soon." King said she never talked to Strange, but saw what happened. "There was a lot of pressure put on him and I really haven't had that kind of focus put on me," King said. "Curtis stated that a third Open was going to be his No. 2. The agreement, negotiated during the past several months, could quiet the annual debate over a possible playoff system that becomes loudest 'when the two top-ranked teams play in different bowl games.

This is not a bad place to be," Texas manager Bobby said after Nolan Ryan came within six outs of his eighth no-hitter Sunday as Texas moved into first place by five percentage points over the Minnesota Twins. "We've had some players, especially the young guys, step in and do a fantastic job," Valentine said.

"What we need is some consistency in the bullpen and with our starters, and we're starting to see that." The Rangers have won 10 of their last 13, all against the Oakland Athletics and California Angels, preseason picks to battle for the division title. "We've come a long way," Ryan said. "It's been an exciting first-half, with a lot of ups and downs. But I don't know of any better way to go into the second-half than on top." Texas leads the majors in hitting (.275) and runs (390). Their bats' have made up for an unsteady bullpen and the loss of starting pitchers Bobby Witt and Scott Chi-amparino to injuries.
