REINCARNATION OF THE ALOUETTES COULD COME NEXT WEEK

     After spending a day in Montreal with CFL Commissioner Larry
Smith, Olympic Stadium officials and some potential investors,
Baltimore Stallions Owner Jim Speros said a move to Montreal
could be announced at next Friday's Board of Governors meetings
in Edmonton.  According to the Baltimore SUN, Speros said
Montreal offers the best opportunity for the league and will make
the eight other Canadian owners "very happy."  Speros said he was
hesitant to commit to Houston because the Oilers could be forced
to play there next season, putting the Stallions in the same
position as they are now in Baltimore (Gary Lambrecht, Baltimore
SUN, 1/26).  In Montreal, Jeff Blair writes Speros was "about
halfway" toward his goal of raising C$3M in corporate sponsorship
money to defray relocation expenses and sustain the first year of
operations (Montreal GAZETTE, 1/26).
