MCCARTHY-ISM IN THE ABL: SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES

          Chicago native Jenny McCarthy -- formerly of MTV's
     "Singled Out" -- was named an "honorary" ABL Condor on
     Monday, as her sister Joanne is a replacement player for
     Chicago's first-year ABL team, according to Elliott Harris
     of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.  Condors GM Allison Hodges said
     that Jenny "will be doing a lot" for the team: "Her Web site
     will be used for on-site season-ticket sales, and her
     boyfriend is one of the largest suppliers to QVC, so we can
     get our merchandise out.  The image of Jenny's support of
     her sister is important to us" (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 10/13). 
     The Condors have sold 500 season tickets for the 7,800-seat
     Pavilion at Univ. of IL-Chicago (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 10/14).
