KEN DRYDEN NAMED NEW PRESIDENT OF THE MAPLE LEAFS

          Hall of Famer Ken Dryden was named President of the
     Maple Leafs this morning.  Dryden replaces former
     President/GM Cliff Fletcher who resigned last Sunday (AP,
     5/30).  In Toronto, Paul Hunter writes that up until this
     morning, "some observers believed" Blue Jays President Paul
     Beeston "wasn't out of the mix," to replace Fletcher 
     (TORONTO STAR, 5/30).  In Toronto, Dave Fuller writes Dryden
     is a "close friend" of MLG Dir Brian Bellmore, and it "had
     been speculated for months" that Dryden would be joining the
     team "in some capacity" (TORONTO SUN, 5/30).  The OTTAWA SUN
     adds that Dryden's name was one "tossed about" as a
     potential NHL commissioner in '92 before the league hired
     Gary Bettman (OTTAWA SUN, 5/30).
