Favre, Griffey Traded!

Trading Officially Begins on the Newly Created Wall Street Sports� Stock
Market

Simulated Sports Stock Market Allows Sports Fans to Build and Manage Stock
Portfolios by Trading Shares of Their Favorite 
Professional Athletes


Mauldin, SC, August 4,, 1997 �� Wall Street Sports� announced today that
active trading has begun on the newly created Wall Street Sports Stock
Market.  A first-of-its-kind, all-sports stock market, Wall Street Sports�
provides members a full-service platform to build and manage dynamic stock
portfolios by trading shares of their favorite athletes.  

"Wall Street Sports is a unique and innovative sports stock market which
combines the exciting mixture of professional sports with the challenge of
Wall Street,"  said William Carey, Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer of Wall Street Sports.   "Currently, members have the ability to
set up a diversified portfolio of athletes competing in football,
basketball, baseball, hockey, and golf, with future expansion into other
sports planned."  

"We are enthusiastic about the completion of the Wall Street Sports Stock
Market Model and web site," stated Lawrence Cotter, President and CEO of
Wall Street Sports. "We officially launched on-line stock trading on July
1, 1997 and to nobody's surprise, Ken Griffey Jr. (WSS: GRIF) and Michael
Jordan (WSS: JORD) were among the most actively traded stocks." 

Griffey's stock price soared to $69.25 from his Initial Public Offering
price of $47.00 due to market speculation that he would break Roger Maris'
home run record.   His stock price has recently dropped back to $64.00 as
members sell-off shares to realize gains.     

Favre's stock price rose to an all-time high of $61.50, a $6.50 (11.8%)
gain from his $55.00 Initial Public Offering price, as he signed a contract
extension that will keep him in Green Bay for some time to come.    

"Wall Street Sports members take their sports very seriously.  The near
real-time aspects of Wall Street Sports are essential," added Cotter. 
"Accordingly, on July 10th we introduced the Wall Street Sports Daily�, an
on-line publication that provides members with all of the sports news and
information needed to make informed investment decisions."
