Anguished Cries Raised Over
Rule to Cut Catcher's Box
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
New York 0J.R) Catchers
Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella and
Wes Westrum joined in a chorus
of anguish today about baseball's
latest rule changes and asked,
'What about pitchouts?"
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.

them to tell us what we can do
and what we can't do. 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."

The flatfeet oppose the lire-
men in the first game of a March
of Dimes basketball program to
night, Action is at the senior
high school. A general alarm,
would summon all hands among
the firemen and leave the cop
pers alone on the floor. ' .
But that wouldn t be very nice
to the fans so the officers of the
law will concentrate on giving
the -smoke eaters a real ball
game. "I think we can," ' re
ported Lt. C. W. Lacy of . the
police. "At least, we have lots of
enthusiasm." They expect some
keen competition by the other
protectors of the public, despite -
the tales of sore feet and sore

The two crews are billed for
a 7:15 p.nu opener. .
The other big game of the
night will match Andy's Jewel

8:30 p.m. .Their tussle tonight
will not count in league stand
ings. But unofficial recognition
as the top club in this section of
