UBL ESTABLISHES NEW YORK FRANCHISE AND PLANS FOR STADIUM

     In anticipation of its planned '96 start, the UBL has taken
the first step in establishing its New York franchise with
construction of a new stadium in agreement with Long Island's
Suffolk Community College.  A unanimous resolution adopted by the
Suffolk Community College Board of Trustees on June 15 agrees to
consider the plan for a ballpark on the campus pending "an in-
depth review by the board."  UBL co-founder Bob Mrazek, a former
Congressman from Long Island: "We are tremendously excited to
bring major league baseball to Long Island through a partnership
... that can provide a significant new funding source for
educational purposes while dramatically enhancing its athletic
program" (UBL).
