LEAGUE NOTES

          In Dallas, Jean-Jacques Taylor reports that the
     Cowboys, Saints and Bengals are the only three NFL teams
     that refuse to allow its coaches to join the NFL Coaches
     Association (NFLCA).  Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones: "I want the
     complete responsibility to address any of the matters with
     my coaches, financial or otherwise, that would normally be
     things that an organization like that would address."  NFLCA
     Exec Dir Larry Kennan: "That's one of the things we'd really
     like to address because it looks bad for the owners, and it
     doesn't make any sense" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 7/30)....In
     Las Vegas, Kevin Iole notes that the Stardust Casino is
     "accepting wagers" on WNBA games after "receiving numerous
     requests from customers and is doing a brisk business." 
     Iole: "The Stardust is getting a number of plays from
     professional bettors, who believe they have found an area to
     make money" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 7/30).
