SPORTS SHORTS:
    
ROCKETS SUSPEND OLAJUWON:
   Hakeem Olajuwon was suspended without pay Monday - in the heat 
of the battle for a playoff spot - by the Houston Rockets for 
allegedly faking a hamstring injury. Olajuwon, averaging 21.4 
points and 12.4 rebounds per game, says he is hurt and can't play; 
the team says he is faking the injury in a ploy to get his 
contract renegotiated. Houston refused a request last week to 
renegotiate.
    
NHL NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE:
   NHL owners and players resume negotiations Tuesday in an effort 
to avoid a strike set for noon Monday. The issue is money. The 
players say the league has plenty of money to meet their demands, 
but the owners say they will lose $9 million this season.
    
SILVERDOME GETS SOCCER MATCH:
   The first indoor World Cup soccer match will be played during 
the 1994 competition as the Pontiac (Mich.) Silverdome was 
selected Monday as one of nine venues. The other locations: 
Washington D.C. (RFK Stadium), Los Angeles (Rose Bowl), Dallas 
(Cotton Bowl), Chicago (Soldier Field), New York (Giants Stadium), 
San Francisco (Stanford Stadium), Orlando (Citrus Bowl) Boston 
(Foxboro Stadium).
