LEAGUE NOTES

          The White House said it was too early to say if
     President Clinton can attend MLB festivities in honor of
     Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier (N.Y. DAILY NEWS,
     2/11)....Sunday's attendance for the NPSL All-Star Game in
     Baltimore was 8,317, the third largest in the league's ten-
     year, All-Star Game history (Baltimore SUN, 2/11)....AL
     umpire John Hirschbeck is interviewed in today's Toronto
     GLOBE & MAIL.  Hirschbeck says it is "wrong" for Roberto
     Alomar to be paid while on suspension, adding, "I know
     certain people with the Orioles are saying I started the
     incident by saying something mean and nasty to Roberto near
     home plate, but I swear there is no truth to that
     whatsoever" (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 2/11).
