LUCKY CHARMS? CELTICS PARTNERSHIP REPORTS NET LOSS OF $9.3M

          The Boston Celtics Limited Partnership (BCLP), the
     parent company of the Celtics, reported a net loss of $9.3M
     during a nine-month period ended March 31, 1999, according
     to an AP report.  While the partnership earned $1.4M in the
     last three months of that period, it attributed the more
     than $9M net loss "in part to the NBA lockout" (AP, 5/9). 
     The Celtics refunded season-ticket holders "approximately"
     $11,632,000, including interest of $185,000, for the 18 home
     games canceled due to the lockout (BCLP Quarterly Report).
