ALAN HITSKY ASSOCIATE EDITOR
T
he Michigan Chapter of the
American Friends of Israel
Association of Baseball has
decided to go out of busi-
ness after four years.
David Dombey, who helped
found and co-chair the organiza-
tion, said the group raised
$55,000 for baseball in Israel
"and there is no reason to con-
tinue to operate the way we have
been."
Most gifts to the organization
were small, with the exception of
a $15,000 donation from Chica-
go. Dombey added that "the
amount of work I was doing (as
a volunteer) wasn't cost-effective."
It included producing newslet-
ters, brochures and other mail-
ings.
Baseball programs in Israel
have now been consolidated and
the Israel Sports Authority has
begun subsidizing the sport.
There are approximately 1,200
players involved with more than
50 clubs.

David Dombey
In a letter to contributors last
week, Dombey said the group's
goals have been met. They in-
cluded providing baseball equip-
ment that was not available in
Israel during the program's ear-
ly years, the consolidation in Is-
rael and encouraging local
sponsorships of Israeli teams.
"The biggest problem now,"
Dombey said, "is playing fields.
There is a scarcity of land and
communities don't want to make
a long-term commitment."
While in Israel last month,
Dombey presented a $20,000
check to the Jerusalem Region of
the Israel Association of Baseball
(IAB) to be used as seed money
for a Senior League (age 13-15)
baseball field.

The Honey Berris Men's Basket-
ball League concluded the fall
season Jan. 17 with champi-
onship games.
In one semifinal, Larry Car-
ney's team defeated Tony
Sanders' team 76-64. In the oth-
er semifinal, Joe James' team

The championship game was

After a time-out, the James
team drove the length of the
