REPORT SAYS DODGERS HAVE LOST MILLIONS OVER PAST FOUR YEARS

          The Dodgers reportedly lost $35M over the past four
     years, according an L.A. Daily News report cited by the AP. 
     The Daily News, quoting organizational sources, also said 
     the team lost between $12-13M in '97 -- "the greatest loss
     of the four-year period."  The losses "apparently will not
     affect the sale of the team" for a reported $350M by team
     Owner Peter O'Malley to News Corp. (AP, 11/12).
          DODGER BLUE? In L.A., Ross Newhan reports that sources
     told him that in the owners' Player Relations Committee
     unaudited filings, the team claimed losses of $6M in '97 and
     $4M in '96.  The sources add that the Dodgers had revenues
     of $100M in '97, up $15M from '96.  Newhan also reports that
     sources now say Fox's buying price "is closer" to $311M than
     the $350M originally reported (L.A. TIMES, 11/12).
