FRANCHISE NOTES

          The MLB Cardinals surpassed the three million
     attendance mark Wednesday for the first time since '89.  The
     team has three home games left (POST-DISPATCH, 9/25).
     ....The National Lacrosse League's Rochester Knighthawks
     have sold 3,500 season tickets for their upcoming seven-game
     home schedule (Rochester DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE, 9/24)....In
     Jacksonville, Sports Development Authority Exec Dir Mike
     Sullivan said only about 1,000 tickets for the Panthers-
     Lightning exhibition game had been sold "because the public
     is misinformed about ticket prices."  Though ticket prices
     for the first three rows are $60 and $50, most seats cost
     either $30 or $15.  Sullivan: "The misunderstanding is that
     there are high ticket prices" (FLORIDA TIMES-UNION, 9/24).
