TAKING ONE ON THE LIP: DAILY NEWS IN COMBAT WITH LUPICA

          The N.Y. Daily News "took the bizarre step of     attacking" its sports columnist, Mike Lupica, yesterday on     its editorial page, according to "Page Six"'s Richard     Johnson of the N.Y. POST.  The bottom of yesterday's     editorial page read, "For two Sundays, a diminutive sports     columnist has failed to deliver his regular fluffy mention     of a certain radio man.  An oversight?  A billing dispute?      Inquiring minds want to know."  Johnson writes the mention     gave the "impression the News was blowing the whistle on     Lupica for supposedly taking payoffs from Don Imus, whom he     frequently plugs."  But it "turns out that this oddity was     just the latest outburst in a childish spat" between the     editorial page and Lupica, who has criticized the News'     editorial page "of being too cozy" with Yankees Owner George     Steinbrenner in his pursuit of a ballpark. Johnson: "Sources     at the Daily News said Lupica was 'enraged' by the editorial     ambush and demanding an apology" (N.Y. POST, 7/22).           HE GOT ONE: An editorial at the bottom of today's DAILY     NEWS is titled "Foul Ball," and reads, "Next to the weather,     where the Yankees will play after 2002 is the hottest topic     in town.  So hot that this page yesterday responded to a     colleague's criticism with a swipe that was out of bounds.      The debate will continue to rage.  But on the merits.  All     ad hominum attacks are hereby benched" (DAILY NEWS, 7/22).
