AL DAVIS ORDERED TO REVEAL TALKS W/OTHER CITIES IN CASE

          Raiders Owner Al Davis "has been ordered" by Sacramento
     County Superior Court Judge Anthony DeCristoforo to "reveal
     what contacts he may have had recently" with L.A. or Houston
     "about moving the team" from Oakland, according to the SAN
     JOSE MERCURY NEWS.  DeCristoforo ordered Davis on July 20
     "to answer the questions" and Davis "must now return for
     further deposition."  On advice from his attorneys, Davis
     "had refused to discuss the matter during" a four-day
     deposition in his litigation with Oakland and Alameda County
     on whether the Raiders have the right to leave the Oakland
     Coliseum "before the team's lease expires" in 2011.  Raiders
     officials were not available for comment.  Attorneys for
     Oakland and Alameda County filed a motion "arguing that any
     discussions" Davis has had with Houston or Hollywood Park
     officials "could help establish his motive in seeking to
     rescind" his Coliseum deal (MERCURY NEWS, 8/14).
