THE SON ALSO RISES IN BID TO PURCHASE THE TWINS

          Minneapolis attorney & former Twins VP Clark Griffith
     made a bid on Monday of "about" $100M to buy the Twins from
     Owner Carl Pohlad, according to Charley Walters of the ST.
     PAUL PIONEER PRESS.  Griffith "represented a group of fewer
     than 10 investors," including his father Calvin Griffith who
     sold the Twins to Pohlad in '84 for $38M.  As part of a two-
     year Metrodome lease extension, Pohlad and the Metropolitan
     Sports Facilities Commission "agreed to a one-month period
     for identifying serious buyers," with that period ending
     Monday.  Griffith's bid was the only one received (ST. PAUL
     PIONEER PRESS, 9/15).  In Minneapolis, Jerry Zgoda writes
     that people close to the bid said the offer was for $110M on
     behalf of six investors, but it is unclear whether the bid
     price includes "assumption of the team's debts and player-
     contract obligations" (STAR TRIBUNE, 9/15).  Twins President
     Jerry Bell could not be reached for comment (AP, 9/15).
