CHECKING IN WITH LACROSSE: GAZELLE GROUP TO MARKET EVENT

          Princeton, N.J.-based Gazelle Group will produce the
     International Lacrosse Federation World Championship to be
     held in Baltimore, MD, in July '98.  The Championship will
     feature eleven teams from around the world and include five
     games per day, over a ten day period.  The event will also
     include a Youth Festival, clinics, and a FanFest.  Gazelle's
     Roly Acosta told THE DAILY that in terms of sponsorship,
     "the plan is to get a title sponsor in place as soon as
     possible."  Acosta said Gazelle hopes "to secure a few
     sponsors at the presenting level and we are considering a
     lower level, possibly an associate, but no plans are in
     place yet."  MI-based Warrior Lacrosse is the first sponsor
     to sign on at the presenting level, holding exclusive rights
     for equipment and licensing.  Acosta also confirmed Gazelle
     is in negotiations with several TV networks over event
     coverage (THE DAILY).
