Cincinnati Red owner Marge Schott formally responded to allegations that she made racial and ethnic slurs, submitting her evidence to a National League attorney in New York.
Schott, accused of slurring blacks, Jews and Asians, is to meet Friday with baseball’s executive council at Grapevine, Tex. The four-person committee investigating Schott gave its findings to her attorney, Robert Bennett, on Dec. 22.
The executive council, which has ruled baseball in the absence of a commissioner, has the power to suspend Schott or fine her up to $250,0000.
