MCDOUGALL SAYS HIS BID FOR BLUE JAYS HAS COOLED

          Don McDougall, the London-based entrepreneur who helped
     bring the Blue Jays to Toronto in '76, "confirmed yesterday
     his involvement with purchasing [the team] from Belgian
     brewer Interbrew SA is at a standstill," according to Bob
     Elliott of the TORONTO SUN.  McDougall: "It is accurate to
     say we're at a halt right now.  But it is important to make
     it clear that I am only speaking for myself. ... It is
     unfair for me to speculate on other groups."  McDougall was
     looking to assemble a group to buy 90% of the Jays, 49% of
     SkyDome and 100% of the CFL Argos.  Former Celtics and Nets
     Owner Alan Cohen is believed to be among the other bidders
     interested in the Blue Jays (TORONTO SUN, 9/23).
