RED SOX REFUTE CLAIM OF INDIFFERENCE TO RACIAL HARASSMENT

          The Red Sox yesterday "denied that they had not
     vigorously investigated charges of racial harassment" by a
     former employee, according to Adrian Walker of the BOSTON
     GLOBE.  Red Sox General Counsel Elaine Weddington-Steward
     said that the team "does not deny the allegations" by the
     former employee, Thomas Sneed, that he was harassed, but it
     does refute "that it did nothing to stop it."  Weddington-
     Steward: "The Red Sox have taken Mr. Sneed's reports very
     seriously and have conducted a thorough and impartial
     internal investigation ... [that] is still ongoing, but ...
     Mr. Sneed's allegations that the club's investigation was
     half-hearted or less than thorough and fair to all concerned
     are incorrect" (Adrian Walker, BOSTON GLOBE, 12/17).
