NFL SET TO BAN DEBARTOLO FOR ONE YEAR AND IMPOSE $1M FINE

          NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has "decided to keep
     exiled" 49ers co-Owner Eddie DeBartolo suspended from
     football through the end of next season and impose a $1M fine
     for his "criminal conduct" in a LA gaming license scandal,
     according to sources of Matier & Ross of the S.F. CHRONICLE. 
     The sanction could be announced as early as this week.  One
     source close to DeBartolo said, "I think it's a positive that
     they put a time limit on it. ... Before it was always open-
     ended" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 3/15).  49ers Co-Owner Denise
     Debartolo York's husband and team VP John York tells the SAN
     JOSE MERCURY NEWS, "What [Denise] wants is a separation from
     her brother.  His interests and her interests do not go down
     the same path."  York said that his wife is "not interested
     in selling to a third party if DeBartolo does not return as
     the team's active owner. ... The 49ers are not for sale now. 
     I can't tell you that that wouldn't change, but we don't have
     any intentions to sell the team" (MERCURY NEWS, 3/15).
