RAVENS FANS SAY NEVER MORE TO TEAM'S NEW LOCAL PROMO

          Dolores, a character who told fans at Ravens Stadium
     how to act using an "exaggerated and distinct" dialect of
     the MD region, has been "cut" by the team, according to
     Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore SUN.  The Ravens created
     Dolores, a "beehive-haired, crab-mallet-toting character,"
     to appear on the scoreboard before games to tell fans how to
     behave.  In an exaggerated Baltimore accent, Dolores said
     there was to be "No smokin' in the stands or baffrooms" and
     "No throwin' nuttin' in the seats."  Toward the end of the
     segment, she smashes a pile of crabs with a mallet and tells
     fans to behave or she'll "discipline them just like the
     crabs."  A "chorus of boos" and "complaints from offended
     fans" followed the segment during Monday's game (SUN, 8/26).
