LEAGUE NOTES

     In Boston, Gus Martins reports, in response to Alan
Rothenberg's request for $1M in salary as commissioner, MLS
investors have decided to make him Chairman and search for a new
commissioner.  Rothenberg:  "Originally, I was going to be just
what I am now.  I would out the whole thing together and then
step back. ... Now that we are ready to go, it's time to get
someone in there on a day-to-day basis.  I'll return to the law
practice" (BOSTON HERALD, 10/30).... IndyCar President Andrew
Craig responds to IRL President Tony George in his own Sunday op-
ed in the INDIANAPOLIS STAR-NEWS.  Craig writes, "The sport is in
grave danger of being deeply damaged at a time when its potential
for growth is there for all to see.  If the sport is damaged then
it follows that the Indy 500 will suffer as a result"
(INDIANAPOLIS STAR-NEWS, 10/29).
