A SCHOTT IN THE DARK: PRINCIPALS DISAGREE ON REDS DEAL

          Reds CEO Marge Schott met with the team's limited
     partners for "nearly" 4 1/2 hours yesterday about selling
     her shares of the team, but "no agreement was reached,"
     according to Erardi & Hobson of the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER,
     whose sources say that the "holdup" to a deal "seems to be
     money."  Scott's "position" is that the $65M offer from
     Cleveland attorney Larry Dolan -- which the partners agreed
     to match -- is "no longer on the table."  The "operative
     deal," which Schott was proposing on Monday, is the deal
     proposed by her cousin, Steve Schott.  There was a
     "difference of opinion" among the principals about "how much
     more it would cost the limited partners to match" Steve
     Schott's offer (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 4/13).  One source on
     the limited partners at the meeting: "They said they're
     going to match any offer" (CINCINNATI POST, 4/13).
