MAPLE LEAFS COULD BOARD AIR CANADA FLIGHT AFTER ALL

          The Maple Leafs will "take a second look at joining the
     Raptors" at the Air Canada Centre, according to sources of
     Hornby & Harris of the TORONTO SUN.  Leafs Project Dir Tom
     Anselmi said "there has been no change in the hockey team's
     position that Air Canada is not feasible" for the team, but
     "in an interesting twist," Anselmi recently toured the Air
     Canada site, "something the Raptors have been wanting a
     Leafs representative to do for months."  Hornby & Harris
     note "growing indications" that the other sites the Leafs
     have considered "contain more snags than Air Canada." 
     Sources add that Leafs Chair Steve Stavro "has grown weary
     of the arena haggling" and that the team's minority owners
     "may press him to explore the Air Canada option."  Raptors
     Owner Allan Slaight: "If it's true we're on the Leafs' short
     list, we're thrilled.  We would love to discuss the
     possibilities with them" (TORONTO SUN, 10/22).
