ABL TRYING TO PUT ITS HOLD-SCLAW ON NEW YORK CITY AREA

          The ABL "is talking" to investors "about bringing an
     expansion team into the [NY-NJ-CT] tri-state area,"
     according to Kristie Ackert of the N.Y. DAILY NEWS.  ABL CEO
     Gary Cavalli: "There are two reasons we'd like to come to
     New York.  Obviously, because New York is a major media
     market.  But also because of Chamique [Holdsclaw]."  Univ.
     of TN senior Holdsclaw is a N.Y. native, and Cavalli said
     the ABL will "pursue her very, very aggressively."  Cavalli
     said Trenton, NJ, and Long Island "have been mentioned as
     possible locations for the expansion franchise," and hopes
     to make an announcement in January (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 9/26).
