EXPOS' BROCHU DENOUNCES NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON BALLPARK PUSH

          Expos President Claude Brochu said yesterday from
     Baltimore, on a fact-finding trip to Camden Yards, that "he
     has no time for the negative comments" of ballpark committee
     co-president Jean Coutu, according to the Montreal GAZETTE. 
     Brochu said that he hoped Coutu "would quit his post" on the
     committee established to garner support for the team's
     proposed downtown stadium.  Brochu said he would have
     trouble working with Coutu: "(Coutu) has taken his position,
     he was clear, and we don't need that."  Meanwhile, fellow
     committee member Serge Savard "declared his complete and
     unswerving support" for Brochu: "(Brochu) is the captain."
     Around 70 Montreal execs went to Baltimore yesterday, and
     Brochu said he "fully intends to spearhead" the ballpark
     project to a successful conclusion (Montreal GAZETTE, 8/20).
