ANOTHER FOOTBALL TEAM MAKES PLAY FOR FUTBOL MOMS

          "Making a play for the votes of San Francisco's Latinos
     and thousands of parents whose children play soccer, the
     49ers said yesterday that their proposed stadium would be
     home to soccer matches on all levels, from kids to pros,"
     according to Edward Epstein of the S.F. CHRONICLE.  Latinos
     make up around 17% of the city's registered voters and
     stadium supporters "believe those voters could be vital in
     an election where turnout is not expected to exceed" 30%. 
     S.F. voters go to the polls on June 3 to vote on the stadium
     bond measure.  49ers President Carmen Policy: "Propositions
     D and F are about football and also about futbol."  Policy
     "wouldn't discuss any attempt to lure" an MLS team, but "it
     has been an open secret for months that" the city would
     "like to lure the San Jose Clash" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 5/29). 
     The stadium's economic impact on the area is examined on the
     front page of today's CHRONICLE (S.F. CHRONICLE, 5/29).
