LPGA LOSES SARA LEE AS TITLE SPONSOR FOR NASHVILLE STOP

          After this year's event, Sara Lee will drop its
     sponsorship of the LPGA's Sara Lee Classic in Nashville,
     according to Joe Biddle of the Nashville TENNESSEAN, who
     wrote that it is unclear whether the tournament will
     continue in 2000 with a new name and new title sponsor.  But 
     Hermitage Golf Course co-Owner Mike Eller and business
     partner Ray Danner are "laying the groundwork" to acquire a
     new sponsor.  Eller: "Sara Lee has a lot of things already
     in place that will allow a major sponsor to come in and have
     a great opportunity. It's not like having to start from
     scratch."  The Sara Lee Classic, which has been in Nashville
     since '88, is scheduled for May 14-16 and Biddle noted that
     it offers a purse of $750,000 and is one of the richest 54-
     hole events on the LPGA Tour (TENNESSEAN, 2/21).
