The three veteran backstops were referring to the new rule announced Monday which . cut the size of the catcher's box from a roomy eight feet to a skinny 43 inches and ordered the catcher to stay in that spot until the pitcher releases the ball. Berra, the not-so-dumb New York Yankee receiver who was voted the American league's -Most Valuable Player" last sea- son, summed it up at his home in Park Ridge, N.J.: "I want the umpires to explain to me how we can call for a pitchout and. still stay in that narrow box without the ball flying past you. "I guess it can be done all right," conceded Yogi, "if we can move when the pitcher, lets go of the ball. But I still want Youth Confuses Military Salute With Grid Signal Pittsburgh (U.R) Use of the military salute by football referees as an unnecessary roughness signal, which a boy had confused with the tradition al mark of respect to the nation's flag, appeared doomed today on two fronts. Bert Bell, president of the Na tional Football league, said the professional loop "will be happy to substitute" a new signal, and Asa Bushnell, commissioner of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic conference, has promised to try to have it eliminated by col leges. Judge Samuel A. - Weiss - of Pittsburgh, said American Le gion officials came to. him with a protest after the error by the 12- year-old Pittsburgh youth in a Legion Americanism quiz. Change Suggested -' '.'What's this?', the boy .was asked by a Legion examiner who placed his open right hand over his heart. , - "It's the salute to the flag," the youngster replied, v When the Legionnaire saluted smartly, Judge Weiss said the youngster exclaimed, "that means unnecessary roughness." Bell, in New York for the an nual NFL draft meeting, said he will discuss substituting a new signal with league referees short ly. He already has suggested one hand raised above the head as a possible substitute. - Bushnell, in a letter to Judge Weiss, said "I believe the result you are seeking can be obtain ed." Jack Dempsey Escorts Fashion Shops Owner Miami Beach U.R) '--- Jack Dempsey, former world's heavy weight boxing champion,- spar red gently today: with the ques tion of marriage to a California divorcee. "We're just very good friends now but who can say what the future' will bring?" Dempsey said in - discussing his interest in attractive Estelle Allardale, owner of a chain of fashion shops. Dempsey, now 59. and the 40- year-old California blonde stir red interest by visiting several West Coast night spots together. High School Scores TUESDAY -GAMES By United Press Cleveland 62.

After all, you have to call for a pitch out once in a while." "Look," said the mustachioed Campanella from behind the counter of his liquor store in Harlem. "You call for a pitch- out because you're gonna try to surprise the base runner. No body knows you're callin' for it except the pitcher. - "Well, that could be quite a surprise to the umpire, too," observed Roy. "It's just one more thing he'll have to watch for." ; Roy shook his head. "Man," he said, "is - that gonna cause some arguments." The soft-spoken Westrum, at his home in Hyde Park, N.Y., said he , thinks the new rule is going to be just as tough on pitchers as it will be on catchers. "On intentional passes the pitcher will have no target for throwing the ball," pointed out the New York Giants' canny vet eran. "Some of tyiose outside ones could get away from the catcher for wild pitches. The catcher will have to .be a lot more agile." All three men agreed the new rule will make a lot more work for catchers. "This is just one more thing we're gonna have to practice," grumbled Campanella. "We've gotta judge just when to go out, We have to work on the timing to know just when we can move, I don't think the rule will have any effect on a catcher's ability because you can learn things like that. But it is just one more extra thing to think about." Giardello Faces Andrews Tonight Norfolk, Va.
