THE UNITED LEAGUE SCOUTS FOR SOME NORTHERN EXPOSURE

     Dick Moss, one of the main organizers of the proposed United
Baseball League, was in Vancouver Sunday for the CFL's Grey Cup.
Moss: "Vancouver is very important to us.  There's the size of
the city and a wonderful community for the players to live in.
But the big thing is the domed stadium is here and ready for
baseball."  B.C. Pavilion Corp. officials met with Moss and
partner Robert Mrazek on Monday about the possible use of the
facility for a UBL franchise.  The facility has also been in
negotiations with the Mariners to lure the Seattle franchise
across the border for 8-10 games a year.  Mrazek: "We think this
is a great business opportunity.  But the real key is each team
will be a true three-way partnership between the city, the owner
and the players" (Lyndon Little, VANCOUVER SUN, 11/29).
