J oe Willia T. PETERBBURG, Fla., March 15.—Bill Dickey of the Yankees is ‘the No. 1 catcher of baseball today. This will mike his. 11th ‘season as the club’s first string ieceiver. He has caught 100 or more games every year

beginning with 1929.

With this background it is cenceivable that he Knows all there is to know about .the opposing hitters, and that when he signals the pitcher for a certain ball it is the ball to throw. Yet time after time in a game you will see Ruffing or Gomez or Pearson shake him of. e Po won't agree that his Judgment is correct.

E wondered how the No. 1 catcher of - baseball félt when the

pitcher did this. It seemed to us it was the same as telling Mr, Dickey that he dign’t know whi it was all about. Mr. Diekey laughed. , . . “For the most part that's just a gag.” he said. “Say we are in a tough spot and there is a dangereis hitter at bat. I will call for a fast ball and Ruffing or Gomes or whoever is out there pitehir g will shake his head. I will eg! i for the same pitch again, and maybe-a third time, and it will be shaken off, Then we will hold ene of those confereyees. BY now we are ready, and in will eome the fast ball or whatever ball I eriginally signaled for.” This seemed a eurious sgn pointless procedure until Mr. Dickey explained it was meant to confuse the hitter. . . . “Onee we've established what a hitte doesn’t like, that's what we give him. Consequently he knows te expect. By going through the pretense of disagreement We seek to plant uncertainty in his mind. Sometimes if works and other times it doesn’t,”

R, DICKEY hastened to add there are times when the shaking eff business and the conferences are on the level, and when this happens he usually lets the pitcher have his own way. . . . “This js a wise thing.to do because at that particular moment the pitcher is confident he can feel the hitter. Something just tells him he can, It

eumstances he will not pitch any. other ball with the same degree of confidence.” It is Mr. Dickey’s theory that the first thing a eaicher must do is win the -confidence of the pitehers, . , . “If you can get that you figure to help the pitehers guite a little. All they have to do then is éancentrate on the mechanics of pitehing.” :i Mr, Dickey seems to have gained the full confidenee of all the phen pitchers. ‘They let him do the worrying and they do the: ng.

Should Lower World Record, He Says. By TOM OCHILTREE

Because two-mile runners, good railroads, run en schedule, at

predicted today tha} the present |, world indoor record for the mile

Butler Relays Saturday night. As connoisseurs of foot running

" land weight heaving know, Mr. Sears’

statements on subjects of this sort carry more authority than the badges of country constables; In addition to being the Butler University track coach and director of the speed carnival sponsored annually by, the school, Mr. Sears formerly was a two-miler of distinction. Here is his explanation of the “mental alarm clocks” that twomilers develop and the effect this punctuality should have on the special mile and a half feature of the Butler meet: “The mile and a half is an odd distance and that. is probably one reason why Edwin Wide’s indoor record of 6 minutes 37.8 seconds has lasted for 11 years.

That Fixed .Pace

“Strangely enough, most distance men frequently run the mile and a half, but enly in practice. A twomiler has te develop enough mental timing to go three-fourths of the way on a fixed paee, regardless of the position of his competitors. “On the last half-mile the runner figures that the rest of the field will be crowding him hard enough to force him to keep up with or exceed his schedule. “Prom my own sxperisnes, 1 know that I have often turned in a mile and a half in 6.42 while running a two-mile pace in practice. With the competition the boys will have in this event Saturday someone should step out and hang up a record.” Entered in this event, which will not be counted in the team standings, are Don Lash, Indiana State Policeinan, who holds the world indoor two-mile record; Joe McClusof the New York Athletic IClub, who has taken 18 national championships, and Forrest Efaw, of Oklahoma A. & M., the national Junior steeplechase champion,

Jimmy Smith Entered

Other powerful contenders in this event inelude Jimmy Smith, former Indiana University = star; Gregory Rice, Notre Dame; Walter Mehl and John Arthur Munski, Mijssouri University; Ralph Halla, Yankton College; Ray Harris and Ernest Klan, University of Kansas, and Gayle B.

{Robinson and Kenneth Waite, Mich-

igan State. . The Relays this year are expected to have a second point of distinction in the field events. Usually the shot putters, high jumpers and pole raulters have effacing jobs on their ieams. Often these events are desided while the customers are rummaging around for soff drinks or are walching the races. The Butler Relays always have een so staged that attention is focused on these events, and the policy should pay dividends this vear since some of the choicest talent is entered in this division of the

games, . Big Ed on Hand

Ed Beiner, Notre Dame, and John Bagyk, Pittsburgh University, are

{expected to wage a personal duel

in the shot put, but they may be g ‘owded for top heners by the rest of .the field. At the Central Collegiate Conference meet at Notre Dame last Saturday, Bazyk beat Beinor with & heave of 481% feet. It is expected to take a better mark than this, however, to beat John Hackney; Kansas State University, the national collegiate champion last year; who already has a record toss of 51 feet. 6 inches this year. Also entered are Avchie Harris, Indiana University; - William Faymenville, Notre Dame, and William Watson, the Big Ten champion from Michizan University, /n the high jump is Ed Burke,

| Marquette University, who holds

the world’s indeer record off a board runway of 6 feet 9% inches, Ted Leonas, Notre Dame, the man who bezt Burke last week with a jump of 4 feet 4% inches, will attempt to repeat. Higher and Higher

=Outstanding in the pole vault is

{Mil} Padway, of Wisconsin Unis

versity, who has gone 14 feet 2 inches off a dirt runway this year. Fhis compares with the present world dirt runway record of 13 feet 1%. inches, since Padway’s jump has not yet been recognized, and a meet mark here of 13 feet 67% inehes. John Dean, Notre Dame, and Earl Biv. ns, Drake University, also can gO ! higher than 13%; feet, Away from the track, Ray Sears acts as composed as a man about to do something exciting like sharpen a pencil. He can even maintain this attitude while working to untangle the details that go with fe organization of a meet of this d. Spesking from his own recollecs tions as a participant, he said that ‘he runners and jumpers you will see Saturday are ‘full of tension before their event is called. “The nervous kind usually make the hest men,” he declared. “If a ooy doesn’t have the quivvers before ‘he race starts, the chances are that he will have to buy a paper to, see how it came out.”

Unless some of Buek Weaver's friends have informed him, he probably is unaware that he today holds a margin of twe victories to one over “Lord Lansdowne,” English grappler, In two previous meetings the pair had won one each. The Terre Haute light heavyweight wrestler won two out of three falls from Lansdowne in the

bill at the Armory last night. But both men were so near to being out that neither appeared to know the score. . Weaver won the first fall with a reverse face lock in 19 minutes, conceded to the Englishman who used a surfboard after nine minutes of the second and then teok the

pled over backwards with Weaver on his shoulders. The last fall went 12 minutes. Dorve Roche, 219, Decatur, mn, and Johnny Plummer, 222, Kansas City, wrestled 30 minutes to a draw and in the opener Young Joe Stecher, Lincoln, Neb. whipped Whitey Hewitt, 230, Memphis with a hook scissors in 19 minutes. Whitey Wahlberg, Duluth, Minn, light heavyweight, who made his first Indianapolis appearance several weeks ago is billed to appear here next Tuesday and probably will ke patched with Weaver, the winner last night

Booster Teams Roll Before Lots of Empty Seats,

CLEVELAND, March 15 (U. BP). —Booster teams rolled on today in

marking up mediocre scores before empty seats which caused apprehension to the local tournament company which must pay for the extensive subterranean quarters. The growing financial problem incident to staging the biggest competitive sports event was to be given consideration and legislative action by the international organization was being discussed by bowling ofcials. The general average of all Sop tioned league bowlers is 162.14. The “par” for championship consideration is 200, The experts draw the packed houses, but the . 850-and-under bowlers, many. of whom travel hundreds of miles, play to empty stands. . The question of whether the tournament should limit the classic to a higher level of tenpin prewress and stage a smaller event of a genuine championship - caliber will receive serious consideration when the Congress executives meet here March 29. Two changes were posted in the leadership standings during the day- | 6 light card yesterday. Tommy For-

Alden Sampson, the original “angel” for Lou Meyer, has announced the entry of the Sampson Comet in the 500-mile race classic over the Speedway Decoration Day. Sampson several years ago gave Meyer, three times winner of the event, his first chance when he let

him drive his car in the race. For several years Sampson, Meyer and Riley Brett formed a racing combination but finally drifted apart when Meyer became an indiyidual car owner, Now Sampson has come back to the racing business and with two partners, Brett and I.eo Goossen, will attempt to put another winner on the Inidanapolis track.
