EVENT & ATTRACTION NOTES

          The Nike Tour, "unable to attract enough corporate
     sponsors," will not return to Philadelphia in '98.  The
     tournaments were operated locally by Allegheny Health,
     Education & Research Foundation (AHERF).  AHERF Exec Dir
     Mary Ann Saleski: "It was a hard sell in a major city with a
     lot of other professional sports.  The sense is that the
     Nike Tour is a good thing in a smaller market" (PHILA.
