DALE COURTING RETURN TO SKYDOME, FILES C$50M LAWSUIT

          Former SkyDome President Lawrence Dale has "sued"
     Sportsco Int'l co-CEOs and former partners Harvey Walken and
     Alan Cohen and "five related companies for allegedly
     breaching their fiduciary duties, conspiring to squeeze him
     out of future profits," according to Tony Van Alphen of the
     TORONTO STAR, who writes that Dale "wants a court order to
     force them to sell" the SkyDome to him.  Dale is "seeking an
     injunction" that "would make" Walken and Cohen sell SkyDome
     to him, "minus any profits and fees they have received since
     the April purchase."  Dale and his company, Sportsco Corp.,
     also "made a claim" for C$50M in damages from Walken and
     Cohen as an "alternative to the transfer."  Cohen said that 
     settlement talks on the dispute were unsuccessful, and
     added, "I can't say I'm shocked [about the lawsuit]"
     (TORONTO STAR, 9/14).  In Toronto, Gayle MacDonald: "Dale's
     legal salvo is a curveball that SkyDome's new owners don't
     need right now" (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 9/14).
