LEAGUE NOTES

          In L.A., Bill Shaikin reported that int'l soccer clubs
     "could visit" Anaheim Stadium next year as part of a two-
     game exhibition series MLS "hopes to stage in partnership"
     with Disney.  MLS Commissioner Doug Logan met this week with
     Anaheim Sports President Tony Tavares "to discuss playing
     two exhibition games in the renovated stadium in 1998 and
     perhaps four in 1999."  Shaikin: "The success of those games
     would impress MLS and Disney as the league and company
     consider whether to place an expansion team in Anaheim
     Stadium as early as 2000" (L.A. TIMES, 12/12).  
          AVP: The AVP has added an event at Jacksonville Beach
     that will be televised nationally on either ESPN or Fox,
     according to Earl Daniels of the FLORIDA TIMES-UNION.  The
     area stop, "replacing a stop in Miami Beach, will be held
     May 15-17 and will be called the Miller Lite/AVP Tour Ocean
     Waves Open."  FL-based Ocean Waves Sunglasses will pay $2M 
     over five years for title sponsorship (TIMES-UNION, 12/13).
