A parents group is trying to restore Howard University's disbanded baseball team through fundraising and a proposal by the District government to pay most of the costs to build new baseball and softball fields with a clubhouse, bleachers and a scoreboard across Georgia Avenue from the university, according to two leaders of the group.    The city's department of recreation has offered to fund the $550,000 project at city-owned Banneker Field, giving Howard priority for using the diamonds during its baseball and softball seasons, according to Scott Burr, leader of www.dcbaseball.com, an organization trying to revitalize amateur baseball in the city. Burr said the proposed deal -- which also has plans for D.C. public high school teams and a squad from the summer Clark Griffith amateur league to use the facility -- includes the university commiting $25,000 of the $100,000 annual costs for upkeep, security and repairs.    Howard eliminated baseball and wrestling on May 22 because it said it had a lack of suitable facilities on or near campus.    Rasul Raheem, a player's parent from Southfield, Mich., said the parents have been writing letters to Howard President H. Patrick Swygert, the university's board of trustees and to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He declined to be more specific. Raheem said the goal is to set up a meeting among Swygert and the various parties "to firm up the deal."    "All of the other parties except Howard are ready to sign on to the plan," said Neil Albert, the District's director of parks and recreation.    Athletic Director Sondra Norrell-Thomas said there will be no fall baseball season and, asked if there was a chance to restore baseball in the spring, said, "At this point in time, no, because we don't have facilities that we own and control so we can give the players what would be a good Howard experience. We have made our decision. It was a painful, but conscientious decision."    She added, "We're not involved in a proposal anymore because we don't have baseball. We would have loved the proposal, the intervention, the help for our student-athletes during the time that we were looking for a location for them to practice and to play."    Swygert could not be reached to comment yesterday.     Howard played all but a handful of its home games in Anne Arundel County last season. None of last year's players has transfered, partly because virtually all scholarships for the 2002-2003 academic year had been awarded. If the players remain at Howard, they would keep their current athletic scholarships until their eligibility would have expired.
