IN THEIR MIND THEY'RE GOING TO CAROLINA? TEAMS EYE CHARLOTTE

          Both the Expos and the Twins "remain interested" in
     possibly relocating to Charlotte, according to Olson & Green
     of the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER.  Charlotte Regional Baseball
     Partnership Chair Johnny Harris: "Over the last 60 or 90
     days there has been an indication of renewed interest in
     Charlotte by a number of teams.  There continues to be
     interest by more than one."  A source said those teams are
     the Expos and Twins, and two sources said that if an MLB
     team moved to Charlotte, it would eventually play at a
     downtown ballpark near Ericsson Stadium.  One source added
     that Beaver Sports Chair Don Beaver, who attempted to
     purchase the Twins and move them first to the Triad and then
     Charlotte, "would not be the primary owner" of the Charlotte
     club.  But Beaver said that he "hasn't been contacted by
     another potential ownership group" (CHARL. OBSERVER, 6/30).
