Coaching the Stampeders won't be an enviable job. The team finished the season with a $1-million line of credit from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. “We're living from hand to mouth right now,” said Stam- peder president Pat Peacock. “Our backs are against the wall. There's a real possibil- ity that the team could fold.” Lunsford conceded frus- trated Stampeder fans may see the latest move as ano- ther in a long list of bad management decisions.

The brewery owns Vancouver Canadians, 1985 playoff champions in the Pacific Coast League, and holds territorial rights for any expansion of the major leagues into the Vancouver area. “The commissioner has stated in his requi for | optimistic people will design the rules. We will continue to pursue the ownership issue.” Ueberroth has stated that expansion applicants to the National and American leagues must meet certain criteria, includi: local ship, faciliti and market strength.

As of last week there were six different persons indicating varying degrees of personal commitment.” Beach would not identify prospective owners and reiterated that it has always been brewery policy that Molson would prefer a minority ownership position in a major league franchise.
