People in the news Babies love of Evert’s future NEW YORK (AP) Chris Evert, the tennis star who has won more matches and more tournaments than any other player, says she is retiring from serious competition soon and looking forward to having a baby. “No more ‘maybes.’ No more ‘probablys.’... My mind is made up. The 1989 U.S. Open will be my final tournament,” Evert says in the issue of Sports Illustrated dated Aug. 28, which is when the tournament starts. Evert, 34, will still represent the United States in the Federation Cup in Tokyo in October. She and Martina Navratilova will play exhibition matches this fall and winter, and she may make a cameo appearance at a tournament in Boca Raton, Fla., where she lives. “But as for Chris Evert, serious competitor, yes, I guess I really am outta here,” she says. “I don’t feel the same intensity.... I know I’ve lost some confidence, and I just don’t want to pay the price any more.” Evert says she will be “Mrs. Andy Mill, full-time housewife.” It is her second marriage, and she says she is looking forward to having a baby. “No r I am not pregnant yet,” she says in the magazine, which on Tuesday released part of the story she wrote with senior writer Curry Kirkpatrick. • FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) What was Cybill Shepherd doing with a bunch of kids at Billy Bob’s honky tonk? She took about 10 youngsters, ages 10 to 17, to the well-known nightspot to reward them for their hard work on the movie “Texasville.” The movie is a sequel to “The Last Picture Show,” which launched Shepherd’s film career after she already had found success as a young model. Shepherd treated the youngsters to a night of twostepping and watching mechanical bull riding over the weekend.

CHRIS EVERT: With hubby Andy Mill

LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor Brad Davis, nominated for an Academy Award in 1978 for “Midnight Express,” is asking people to leave their porch lights on during National POW Week to honor missing U.S. prisoners of war. The gesture, coupled with using vehicle headlights: in the daytime the week of Sept. 11, is part of a campaign to get governmental acknowledgment of war prisoners still unaccounted for, Davis said Thursday. The campaign, “Operation Bright Light: POWs ... Release In Sight,” will kick off with flag-raising ceremonies in Southern California, said a spokesman for a coalition of veteran’s groups. • BERNARDSVILLE, N.J. (AP) Boxer Mike Tyson is trying to sell the mountaintop mansion he once shared with actress Robin Givens for $8 million, an adviser for the heavyweight champ said. Tyson, who recently bought a house in Cleveland to be near his promoter, Don King, moved to the small Somerset County borough in March 1988, shortly after marrying Ms. Givens. They bought the five-bedroom, stone Victorian Gothic revival mansion for $4.3 million and spent another $1.9 million acquiring adjoining property, said Frank Petrozzo, a friend and financial adviser to Tyson and resident of this borough 30 miles southwest of Newark. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A concert by the Rolling Stones rock band has been scheduled for the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis Dec. 6, promoters announced.
