IL HEALTH SYSTEM INKS NAMING RIGHTS DEAL FOR $10M

          IL-based Alexian Brothers Health System has acquired
     naming rights to the new baseball ballpark in Schaumburg,
     IL, home of the Northern League Schaumburg Flyers, according
     to George Lazarus of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE.  The company will
     pay more than $2M over a 10-year period for the rights to
     rename the facility Alexian Field.  Flyers Owner Richard
     Ehrenreich said that the team was in talks with six other
     firms interested in naming rights.  Alexian is a not-for-
     profit operation and has a medical center in Elk Grove and
     two hospitals in Hoffman Estates. The Village of Schaumburg,
     which built the park, and the Schaumburg Park District will
     receive "about" 80% of the revenue (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 8/31).
