SCHOTT CLARIFIES PREFERENCE FOR SITE OF REDS' NEW STADIUM

          Reds Owner Marge Schott said there is "no way" she
     wants the team's new ballpark built on the Cincinnati
     riverfront's Wedge site, according to Hobson & Sullivan in
     the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.  Reds GM Jim Bowden: "We've said in
     all the negotiating sessions that the site is not
     negotiable.  Mrs. Schott has been very clear that the site
     she wants is the site west of the Roebling bridge."  The
     Wedge sits east of the bridge, between Riverfront Coliseum
     and Cinergy Field.  But Hobson & Sullivan note Schott's
     comments "run counter to the posture" of Reds Managing Exec
     John Allen, who has said that the Wedge "is intriguing if
     the engineers can make it work" (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 4/12).
