A FLAME-OUT: HOTCHKISS DENIES TALKS OF CFL CLUB PURCHASE

          Flames co-Owner Harley Hotchkiss said yesterday that he
     is "unaware of any discussions" involving the team's
     possible purchase of the CFL Stampeders, according to Mark
     Miller of the CALGARY SUN.  A report on Thursday stated the
     teams were involved in talks regarding a possible
     acquisition by the Flames.  But Hotchkiss said he would be
     "very surprised if there were any discussions" ongoing.  He
     acknowledged that there was "some consideration" of buying
     the team in '96, but said "there have been no recent
     discussions."  Stampeders Owner Sid Gutsche said that "while
     there have been talks" between the teams in the past, "there
     are no formal negotiations" ongoing.  Hotchkiss: "We have
     our plate full with our own challenges" (CALGARY SUN, 7/10).
