N.Y. TIMES SAYS SELIG DEPOSITION RAISES SOME QUESTIONS

          Comments made by MLB Acting Commissioner Bud Selig
     during a six-hour deposition stemming from a lawsuit filed
     by Marvin Goldklang are examined by Murray Chass of the N.Y.
     TIMES.  Goldklang is suing over the "makeup of an
     arbitration panel charged with determining how much" the
     Marlins must pay for taking the territory of Goldklang's
     Miami Miracle minor league team.  In the deposition, Selig
     "offered what seemed to be conflicting testimony about his
     position" at MLB.  According to Chass, in the deposition,
     Selig was "most adamant when he denied that he has been the
     commissioner in any sense of the title."  Chass notes the
     lawsuit "is expected to succeed or fail primarily on the
     judge's determination of Selig's status" (N.Y. TIMES, 2/23).
