A news report published in today's Newsday revealed that one of New York City's great athletics institutions, the Millrose Games, may not be held in 2005 due to a lack of sponsorship. The 98th edition of the games was scheduled for 04-Feb.

The article, written by reporter John Jeanesonne, reported that the Games could be cancelled if the Los Angeles-based company which owns them, Professional Sports and Entertainment Inc., cannot find a new title sponsor this week. The primary sponsor of the meet last year, Verizon, has withdrawn.
