DOES DOLICH GROUP HAVE THE $$ TO COMPLETE DEAL? SOME SAY NO

          While Andy Dolich's group was approved by the Oakland
     Alameda Coliseum Authority, there is a "lurking fear" that
     MLB owners "may nix" the group's proposed acquisition of the
     A's, according to Matier & Ross of the S.F. CHRONICLE.  One
     MLB source: "Dolich has put together a bunch of cats and
     dogs, ... and what baseball doesn't want is a bunch of cats
     and dogs who want to be able to say at a cocktail party that
     they own a baseball team, but who don't have the money to
     back it up."  Matier & Ross report that while the Dolich
     group is being "bankrolled in large part" by Save Mart Chair
     Robert Piccinini, there is "some question about just how
     deep the grocer's pockets are."  Dolich "makes no bones
     about the fact that he's still out looking for additional
     investors -- he's even looking into whether Ken Hofmann ...
     wants to stay on" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 5/12). 
          JOLTIN' JOE? NBC/ESPN analyst Joe Morgan, on whether he
     will remain a member of the Dolich group: "I don't know what
     my role or my investment will be, but I'm not looking to be
     involved on an everyday basis" (USA TODAY, 5/12).
