LEAGUE NOTES

     NFL GMs have been informed that next year's salary cap will
not grow much more above the current $40.7M, according to ESPN's
John Clayton.  Clayton:  "Here's a scary prediction about a flat
cap:  By next year, 70% of the players will be making over $1
million or will be at the NFL minimum" ("SportsCenter," ESPN,
4/9)....Roller Hockey Int'l has announced final plans for a six-
city European tour starting April 26 (RHI)....The AHL broke its
all-time attendance record on April 3, drawing 3,273,929 as of
last weekend (AHL)....The Senior PGA Tour's Liberty Mutual
Legends of Golf appears headed to the new World Golf Village
courses in Jacksonville in '97 or '98.  The tournament suffered
from player complaints and poor attendance the past two years at
PGA West in Palm Springs, CA.  Liberty Mutual's contract with
KSL, owner of PGA West, runs through '99, but there is an "out"
clause for both parties (GOLFWEEK, 4/6). The Seniors' Franklin
Quest Championship in UT on August 30-September 1 has increased
the total purse to $800,000 and signed a deal with The Golf
Channel (DESERET NEWS, 4/10).
