LEAGUE NOTES

     New MLS Commissioner Doug Logan was profiled in the DALLAS
MORNING NEWS.  Logan said the league has to "produce a credible
product on the field worthy of being called Division One soccer,
and we have to get to that level quickly" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS,
2/4....The CFL is preparing "for an onslaught of blitzing
lawyers," according to Marty York of the GLOBE & MAIL.  QB Matt
Dunigan has sent a letter to CFL Commissioner Larry Smith
threatening to sue for US$1.7M over his guaranteed contract with
the now-defunct Birmingham Barracudas.  The league will now
consist exclusively of Canadian teams and could face similar
suits over its "failed U.S. division" (GLOBE & MAIL, 2/6).
