In case anybody has been looking all week for a score on last Saturday night's Baltimore Claws game with the New England )) Crusaders in pro-box indoor football at Du Burns Arena, forget it.There was no score because there was no game in what was supposed to be the debut of a six-team Atlantic Coast Professional Football League.The Crusaders never made it to Baltimore after one of the two vans carrying the 24-man squad broke down near Marion, Pa., forcing an embarrassed Claws general manager Jerry Fair to call off the game and refund the $7 per ticket the fans had paid.

Buying crabs is a fairly straightforward proposition - if you know what you want. Below are a few tips about what to expect and what to look for when buying crabs: • Specify gender: Crab gender is easy to distinguish: male crabs (or "jimmies") have a narrow, T-shaped "apron" on the back of their shell, while female crabs ("sooks") have a wide apron. In addition, live females have red-tipped claws, while male claws are blue. While both can be eaten, limits have been set this year on the number of females crabbers can catch.

Bad Press: The Worst Critical Reviews Ever, edited by Laura Ward (Barrons, 256 pages, $14.95). One of the great natural unfairnesses of life is that unkind reviews of books, plays, music -- whatever -- and especially vicious ones live on in memory and anthologies while favorable ones die young. Here, Ms. Wood, an irrepressible enthusiast for aesthetic savagery, has compiled a magnificent compendium of dismissals. Among my favorites: "The triumph of sugar over diabetes" -- George Jean Nathan on the writing of J.M. Barrie.

Here we are again at 500 HarborView Drive, now J. Leonard's Waterside, formerly Pier 500.I was here as a reviewer only two years ago; but now the place has a new name, a new owner (a partnership led by J. Leonard Schleider, owner of Cameo Caterers) and a new upscale American menu. There's even a new motto: "Fine Dining in a Casual Way." That means you can stop in after the ballgame for tournedos Atlantis with Madeira demi-glace.I'm not unhappy about being here again, because this is a wonderful setting for a restaurant.
