INDIANS REVENUES ON THE RISE AS DOLAN STEPS TO THE PLATE

          Cleveland Indians Baseball Co. "reported increased
     revenues" of 6%, to $65.3M, for the third quarter ended
     September 30, despite a "drop in operating income" of 47% to
     $6.2M, according to Bill Lubinger of the Cleveland PLAIN
     DEALER.  The company "credited the gains to higher ticket
     prices" and increased revenue from radio and advertising at
     Jacobs Field.  For the quarter, revenues increased 9% to
     $136.1M, while operating income "declined" 43% to $4.3M. 
     Lubinger noted that ticket prices "rose" an average of 10%
     for the '99 season, and the team "increased prices again" by
     10% for 2000.  The Indians "blamed the squeeze" in operating
     income on "higher player salaries" (PLAIN DEALER, 11/13).
