The popular, though independent Spanish-language ministry at the Crystal Cathedral, where people stand in line for hours to get a seat, may not move with the church's English-language services when the time comes. According to the terms of a $57.5-million deal approved Thursday night in Bankruptcy Court, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange will purchase the property and require Crystal Cathedral ministries to move to a new location within three years. The diocese plans to use the cathedral as its own after that; St. Callistus Catholic Church, also in Garden Grove, has been presented as an alternative site for the English-language ministries.

SATURDAY'S GAMES Boys CITY SECTION DIVISION 1 Westchester (26-6) vs. Woodland Hills Taft (26-2), 1 p.m. at the Galen Center ? From the opening day of practice, Taft has been the heavy favorite to win its third City title, but 11-time champion Westchester has ambitions of pulling off the upset. The key issue is how much Westchester has improved since losing to the Toreadors by 11 points on Dec. 4. The versatile Robert Gsellman will try to make some three-pointers for the Comets.

Boys SOUTHERN SECTION 3AA Los Angeles Price (22-6) vs. La Canada (27-3), 4:45 p.m. at Anaheim Convention Center ? Price is a heavy favorite because of players such as 6-foot-9 Norvel Pelle, 6-8 Skylar Spencer and Colorado-bound guard Askia Booker. But veteran La Canada Coach Tom Hofman is known for having one of the best passing-game offenses in high school. Dario CiVon and Michael McGlashan are 6-2 players who thrive in Hofman's scheme, averaging 15 and 17 points.

For Anaheim, the boys of summer should produce big profits in July. The usual crowds of summer tourists visiting Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure Park will swell this weekend to include thousands of baseball fans attending Major League Baseball's All-Star Game at Angel Stadium and a fan festival at the nearby Anaheim Convention Center. The annual game, part of a five-day celebration that began Friday, returned to Anaheim for the first time in 21 years. It's expected to draw 100,000 to 250,000 visitors — and an estimated $85 million in spending throughout Southern California, according to city officials and Major League Baseball.

Six thousand yards of red carpet has arrived in Anaheim, ready for the big night. Fashion consultants and makeup artists will be on hand as the celebrity guest list fills out, publicists calling to secure tickets for their A-list clients. If it sounds as if baseball's annual All-Star game — which comes to Angel Stadium on Tuesday evening — has gone Hollywood, that's no mistake. Over the last decade or so, Major League Baseball has expanded its "Midsummer Classic" from nine innings to five days that include rock concerts and a high-tech carnival, the popular home run derby and a softball game pitting former players against actors and musicians.
