BELLE TAKES AIM AT ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE MEDIA

     Indians VP of Public Relations Bob DiBiasio said the team
has informed the AL of another incident involving Albert Belle
and a member of the media.  Tony Tomsic, a photographer for
Sports Illustrated who suffered cuts while avoiding baseballs
thrown at him by Belle, has not filed a complaint.  The incident
was not made public until a weekend newspaper report.  Tomsic:
"I feel bad for the club.  I didn't want to cause trouble for
them."  DiBiasio:  "Internally, Albert was castigated by his
teammates big-time for doing it.  We told the league that as far
as we know, Tony felt it was taken care of" (AP/WASHINGTON POST,
4/22).  Indians GM John Hart:  "What happens from here, I don't
know."  AL VP/Media Affairs Phyllis Merhige:  "I don't see how we
can justify doing anything if we didn't see it or if nobody
complains."  Tomsic had tried to photograph Belle before an April
6 game.  SI has been working on a story on Belle for weeks
(Sheldon Ocker, Akron BEACON JOURNAL, 4/22).
