OWNERS GOING TO LA-BATT FOR THE JAYS, NOT FOR SKYDOME

          Blue Jays Owner Interbrew, and its subsidiary, Labatt
     Brewing, has "decided to hang on" to the team, but the group
     has told its SkyDome partners that it wants to "own all of
     the stadium or none of it," according to Paul Brent of the
     FINANCIAL POST.  Interbrew and Labatt, currently negotiating
     a new 10-year lease for the Jays at SkyDome, said that their
     "position on both sides of the bargaining table can't
     continue."  Meanwhile, Labatt President Hugo Powell said the
     team should switch divisions and not compete against the AL
     East's top spenders: "It's hopeless to try and compete with
     the Yankees, Baltimore and Boston" (FINANCIAL POST, 11/21). 
          SKYDOME SEEKS COURT PROTECTION: In Toronto, Tony Van
     Alphen wrote that SkyDome is "expected to seek court
     protection from its creditors" next week.  According to
     sources, SkyDome will apply for protection to reorganize
     debts, renegotiate contracts and avoid bankruptcy (TORONTO
     STAR, 11/21).  SkyDome is reportedly C$1.2M behind in
     municipal tax payments (TORONTO SUN, 11/23).
