POOR RECORD AND ATTENDANCE AFFECTING TWINS' BOTTOM LINE

          The Twins' "record in recent weeks has been like their
     financial report -- not very good," according to Sid Hartman
     of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE.  Through July 31, gross
     ticket revenue was $7,691,519, compared to $10,115,339 last
     year, down $2,423,820.  Total baseball concession sales were
     $3,414,611, down $599,182 from last year's $4,013,793.  The
     Twins' share of the concession income through July 31 was
     $1,195,114 compared to $1,404,827 last year, down $209,713. 
     With the team "not winning, the Twins will be fortunate to
     draw 1 million fans" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 8/14).
