GRAND SLAM U.S.A.

ed the Israel Association of
Baseball in 1987.
Logue, who has coached
girls softball and baseball
and has lived in Israel for
nine years, hopes to
strengthen the group's fund
raising internationally. He
has appointed former
Detroiter Dr. Bert Faudem,
a Jerusalem dentist and vet-
eran Israeli softball pitcher
who runs the city's Little
League organization, as
international fund-raising
chairman.
The Israel Association
hopes to qualify for the state-
run Israel Sportoto lottery,
which allocates money to
sports teams. The associ-
ation could receive 2,500
shekels ($1,250) per team via
the lottery. It would qualify
by having played interna-
tionally — which the associ-
ation believes it did when it
sent an all-star team to the
Little League tournament at
Ramnistein Air Force Base
in Germany last summer.
With the lottery potential-
ly providing team uniforms
and equipment, "Logue's big
push," said Dombey, "will
be to get baseball fields de-
veloped around the country,
particularly fields in areas
where the kids are." _

Israeli Taxes
Test 'Creativity'
Of Local Donors

The Israel-American
Baseball Inc. Detroit Com-
mittee has raised about
$5,000 to date for baseball
equipment — new and used
gloves, baseballs, new and
used bats, T-shirts and caps
— for Israeli Little
Leaguers.
"There is no baseball
equipment in the stores in
Israel to speak of," said
Dave Dombey, committee co-
chairman. The Michigan
Jewish Sports Hall of Fame
is a major contributor to the
committee's efforts and the
Rawlings Sporting Goods
Co. has donated seconds, he
said.
But getting the equipment
into Israel is another story,
according to Dombey. "The
government won't allow
equipment in without a duty
being paid," thus increasing
the cost, he said.
The import duty has
resulted in subterfuges
reminiscent of the gun-
running to Israel during its
War of Independence in
1948.
"Last year, we gave each
kid (in a Detroit synagogue
youth group) six baseballs
apiece to carry with them on
their trip to Israel," said

"IT NEVER RAINS IN OUR PARK!"
THANKSGIVING HIT & HOOP
WEEKEND

Dombey. The baseballs were
"personal gifts" not subject
to the duty. This year,
however, when Dombey had
a case of 15 used baseball
gloves mailed to himself in
Israel, the Israeli postal ser-
vice charged him $24 on a
shipment valued at $150.
And a Detroit rabbi
leading a temple group to
Israel this summer would
not allow the youngsters to
pack baseballs. "I can't
teach my kids to smuggle,"
he told Dombey.
Even last year's successful
effort wasn't all that smooth,
Dombey _admitted. One
parent, fearing there were
bombs planted in the com-
mittee's baseballs, bought
all new ones for his child to
carry.

Chicago Raises
$9,000 For Sport
In Jewish State

Chicago is the second
Midwest city showing inter-
est in supporting Little
League baseball in Israel,
although it is not an
organized member of Israel-
American Baseball Inc.
Bill Mazur, a minority
owner of the Chicago White
Sox, helped raise about
$9,000 this year, including
$7,500 to develop a playing
site in Israel. He also got the
five-member Israel Little
League squad to stop off in
Chicago last summer
enroute to Los Angeles for
the International Associ-
ation of Baseball's Youth_
Baseball Fair.
Chicago's fundraising is
funneled through the
Detroit Committee at pre-
sent.
