SECTION 2 - PAGE It - PLAINDEALER-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3.1985 Sports & BASEBALL (Continued from page 20) id of a year ago. He will third base and some "It's not too bad a returning team," conceded Wilson. "In addition to those guys, we have some seniors who weren't out before." That group includes Kevin Bonato, Steve Hutt, Tony Sorting, and Tom Budreck. Bonato is a catcher, while Hutt and Sorting will pitch and play the infield, and Budreck will roam the outfield. Among those missing from the '84 squad will be pitcher Ross Vehring, who led the team in wins as well as in hitting. But Wilson hopes the Warriors will be able to overcome the loss. "Pat (Dunne) will be our main starter. It's his third they perform once the season starts?" Wilson, who is in his fifth year at the Warrior helm, will count on the bat of Hill to get his team off to a good start. "Our hitting will be fairly good, even though we have some people who haven't played before. There are a [of of 'ifs.' Sorting could help us offensively, too. Hill hit .345 overall last season, .353 in the con­ ference. "He's our top guv coming back," Wilson said. "Fielding shouldn't be a problem at all. Our fielding is solid. I have the least questions about that." How does the conference race shape up? "We're hoping to be very Brian Wilson on the varsity. Ross a better season success- wise last year, but Pat's been throwing real well in practice," said Wilson. Dunne was 1-3 a year ago, with an earned run average over five, but Wilson at­ tributes that to some arm trouble the senior right­ hander suffered late in the season. Two sophomores, Merrick Stieffer and Matt Roy, will add to the Warriors' plen­ tiful mound corps, as will junior Steve Katzenberger. "You can never have enough pitching," cited Wilson. "We have quite a few pitchers, but you need a few. We have a lot of people who can pitch, but the question is how well will .competitive," said Wilson. . "It'a be nice to say we're going to be conference champs, but we hope to be in the running. We'll be in the top three or four. "The Crystal Lake schools (South and Central) are both tough, so is Woodstock. Dundee-Crown should come back tough, and Cary-Grove- had a real young team last year. It's a good baseball conference." The Warriors kicked things off Tuesday at Libertyville, and will stay on the road to play Elgin Larkin Thursday and An- tioch Saturday, before coming home to duel Cary- Grove at 4 p.m. next Tuesday.

The successful 1984 Olym­ pians have not been lured back to the land of sunshine for an encore performance. This summer's athletes, though, are just as talented, but with a distinct difference. All the athletes who will ither in southern California summer will be deaf. The XV World Games for the Deaf will be held July 10-20 in the Santa Monica-Los Angeles area. This is the second time America has hosted the games, which began 61 years ago in Paris. Herb Schreiber, - general chairman of the Los Angeles organizing committee for the les, was in Chicago last week a nationwide publicity tour. A deaf basketball tour­ nament was held at DePaul University Saturday. Recruiting athletes for the World Games hasn't posed any obstacles for Schreiber. Each state in the union will be represented. Illinois is sending 11 athletes to the Games. "No, we haven't had any >lems at all. The deaf come >m all over America.

It'll be gone be­ fore you know it. people want to become involved, it's a once in a lifetime thins for the people," Schreiber said. Like the athletes he assists, Schreiber is deaf. The telephone interview was conducted with the aid of an interpreter. "I've been deaf since I was eight, and grew up among deaf people," Schreiber said. "I became involved with sports in my young teens." Schreiber has been an officer of the American Athletic Association fbr the Deaf for 22 years. He was tabbed the chairman of the Games in 1961, "because of my experience, travels, knowledge of sports and business background.' Schreiber and his wife, Ruby, own an operate a business specializing in travel arrangements f for the deaf. In 1978, he became the first deaf man in 30 years to visit China, and has since brought two tour groups there. Athl&tes from Communist China won't, be present this summer, but Hungary, Yugoslavia and Romania will send competitors. Some 2,500 athletes will compete in 13 International Olympic Committee events held at UCLA, various high schools, colleges and other recreation facilities. Theatre is included along with more traditional events like wrestling, volleyball and soccer. During his tour, Schrfeiber hopes to attract attention for the Games, which were last held in the U.S. in 1965 in Washington, D.C. "I want to bring exposure of them (the Games) not only to the hearing impaired," Schreiber said. "We'll see 45 different nations together. It's the same thing as the Olympics" As in the 1984 Olympics, large corporations have helped finance the cost£t>f staging the Games for the D&af. "We have a lot of very strong supporters," Schreiber said. "One of the biggest is General Telephone. Everyone is starting to get involved.'1 General Telephone has developed a phone for use by hearing-impaired people, and will provide tele-communication devices for the Games. The National Rifle Association will provide targets, and the California Rifle and Pistol Association will conduct team tryouts for the U.S. Shooting Team and donate air rifles and pistols for use by deaf com­ petitors. The Games will receive another boost from television. The major networks plan to cover the event and the Silent Network - the Games' official Herb Schreiber network -- will tape the Games for national broadcast. Schreiber -- who bidded successfully against Japan, New Zealand and Spain to nave the U.S. host this year's Games - is pleased with the success the Games have enjoyed during his tenure. But he has one large goal remaining. "I want every American deaf person to become involved in sports because we become equal through sports with our hearing counterparts."
