ESPN ZONE PLANS OUTDOOR FEST TO TRUMPET BALTIMORE ARRIVAL

          When the ESPN Zone restaurant opens in Baltimore next
     month, it "will also launch a yearly event" for the city's
     Inner Harbor, "an outdoor sports festival for fans and
     participants alike," according to June Arney of the
     Baltimore SUN.  This year's event will be hosted by ESPN's
     Dan Patrick on July 11, the day before the scheduled opening
     of ESPN Zone.  The festival, which will offer exhibition
     freestyle ski-jumping and slam-dunking, along with skate
     boarding, in-line skating and mountain biking on a U-shaped
     ramp, will be taped and telecast on ESPN July 12 (SUN, 6/7).
