IF SMILEY BID FAILS, ANOTHER GROUP READY TO REEL IN FISH

          Another potential buyer for the Marlins stepped forward
     on Tuesday, according to Snel & Fins of the Fort Lauderdale
     SUN-SENTINEL.  Charles Dusseau, a former Miami-Dade
     Commissioner and the Secretary of Commerce for FL from '93-
     96, confirmed he represents a group interested in buying the
     team.  But Dusseau said that the group "won't make an offer
     and won't make overtures" unless Marlins President Don
     Smiley's bid fails. Dusseau: "We have no interest in getting
     into a bidding war or to damage his bid, and we don't think
     it would be welcomed."  Dusseau would not reveal the names
     of his investors except to say they are all from FL, some
     from South FL.  He said the group's intent would be to keep
     the team in South FL.  A spokesperson for Marlins Owner
     Wayne Huizenga said Smiley was given just "a couple of more
     weeks" to finalize his ownership group (SUN-SENTINEL, 6/10).
