: One of the more remarkable and
refreshing items about the Mats this
season is that Mark Christman has
been shackled by a prolonged bat
ting slump, only recently terminated,
yet has heard no chorus of boos
directed at him. It's tribute to
the customers that they've recog-
nized shortstop who never has
ceased hustling, despite discourag-
ing batting average.
Most of the season, Christman
barely has been able to keep his
average lowering above the 200
mark, but in city never noted for
it's tolerance toward unproductive
athletes Mark has been no target
of abuse. His steady yet generally
unspectacular fielding has served as
a shield.

5-1, at Cleveland's expense. Some
