LES EXPOS READY TO REVISE LE BALLPARK CAMPAIGN

          Expos Chair Jacques Menard said that PSL sales toward a
     new ballpark are "grinding to a slow halt" and that the team
     is preparing to relaunch a facility financing campaign,
     according to Jeff Blair of the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL. 
     Menard, on possible proposals to increase interest in a new
     facility: "There has been some speculation about things like
     taking a group of businessmen to Cleveland to see how the
     new park has played a significant role in urban renewal,
     things like that" (GLOBE & MAIL, 7/21).  USA TODAY's Rod
     Beaton profiles the Expos' quest for a new ballpark under
     the header, "Stadium Seen As Cure-All: Expos Banking On New
     Park To Lure Fans, Pay For Star Salaries."  Team President
     Claude Brochu: "A lot of people say this is not a baseball
     town.  That's not true. ...  We just have not in 30 years
     had a proper stadium" (USA TODAY, 7/21).
