Soin Wants Umpires
Put Under Single Head
By FRANCIS STANN

won't mention, went to Lands before a
World Series" John recalled. HE said, in
effect, What if the Series is decided on a
balk? Is that what you wantP'
lands, so I heard, said, Use your
own judgment"
Fortunately there is no record of a
World Series, or even of Series game,
being decided by balk. But 1t could hap
pen. Earlier this week Willie Mays was
waved home twice from third base on balks
and once moved from second to third on
an infraction. He scored the decisive run
in 6-3 victory for his Giants over Houston.
"You see highly technical balks right
now in the American League, but they're
not called" Sain said do the fans like
to see balks called? After all, they're the
people who count"
A FRINGE BALK is like technical
honor to the side that is benefited. 1t
gnaws at the team that is penalized.
IAN out-and-out balk is something
else," Sain was saying. "I remember one
day last year when Dick Donovan started
his motion, then stopped. There was a
runner on first base. He went to second
base as matter of course. Donovan didn't
even change his expression. He knew he
had baked, and so did everybody else"
One day late last August, or early in
September, an important balk was called
against Orlando Pena of Kansas City,
costing a decision against the Yankees.
This involved Pena'S custom of taking the
catcherS sign off the rubber, National
League style. Umpire Ed Hurley waved the
winning run home from third base.
1T WAS A BIG WIN for the Yankees
because they had run into sticky going in
the pennant race, and the pesky, implausi-
BILE Angels were moving into New York for
a crucial series. Hank Bauer, who still was
managing Kansas City, flipped his lid
"Pena came up through a National
League chain" Bauer argued. tits natural
for him to stand off the rubber"
Bill Rigney, proprietor of the Angels,
also raised his voice when he heard of the
call. only the Yankees get calls like it,"
Rig yelped.
Most baseball men, Sain included, feel
the Sign-taking also should be standardized
las 1 think back, Pena was warned couple
of times" Johnny said Still, it was simply
automatic for him to pitch that way.
Even when l was in the National

would be better for most pitchers If they
were allowed to take them anywhere on the
mound. Then, when they put their foot on
the rubber, they're in buSinesS-no excuses" I"

GW's2d Unit
Shades First in
Grid Drill, sc

George Washington Univer-
sity's second unit clipped the
first, 8-6, in a full-scale foot
ball scrimmage yesterday and
that left Coach Jim Camp with
two interesting theories.
Maybe his depth situation
isn't so bad after all.
2-Dick Dummond can make
any team look good.
Drummond played on the
second unit, but it was a 60
yard gallop up the middle by
Fullback Don Lauer and a two
point conversion run by Quar-
terback Steve Welpott that gave
the No. 2 group its upset.
Harry Haught, a junior tail
back, scored for the first unit
on a 50-yard sweep. The try for
the conversion failed.
Camp was disappointed by
the many mistakes in the work.
out, but said he was reasona-
bly, well pleased by the hard
hitting of both units. His first
unit backfield consisted of Tom
Branch at quarterback, Ere d
D'Orazio at wingback, Jim
johnson at fullback and
Haught at tailback.
The drill was the last full
scale scrimmage until next Sat-
urday's varsity-alumni game at
Washington-Lee Hig h School
stadium. Camp received word
that Mike Sommer, one of GW's
brightest former stars, would
play for the old grads.

AMONG OTHER MISADVENTURES
which befell Pitchers Chris Short and
Dallas Green of the Phillies, Phil Murdock
of the Cubs and Juan Marichal of the
Giants lin a happier efforD were balk
offenSes. These in the last SO hours The
total called in the National League as Of
April 20-precisely 43. In the American
zero.
The MI umpires are taking seriously
the order of Warren Giles, president of the
league, to enforce the one second stop in
the motion of pitchers when runner is
on base. If the breakdown continues, what
will happen when it comes World Series
time? Will the National umpires call the
balkS their AL brethren are overlooking?
The question was put to Johnny Sain,
pitching coach of the Yankees. This is a
fellow we'll qualified to express an opinion.
He pitched in World Series for both leagues,
first as an ace of the Boston Braves and
later as the Yankees crack reliever.
II don't want to sound as if I'm set
ting up myself as spokesman" Sain said,
but personally wish the umpireS were
under one head. Minor league umpireS,
too. Once a pitcher forms habit under
one set of rules, or interpretations, it be-
comes automatic. That goes for taking the
sign from the catcher on the rubber, as
you must do in the American League and
don't have to do in the National"
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE how much
tension there is on pitcher" Johnny went
on They say That ought to be a simple
thing for a pitcher to do-pause for /
second after the stretch But it isn't so
simple.
1T can be corrected If the pitcher is
thinking OF the rule. But he has other
matters on his mind. He is concentrating
on the technique of his next pitch. His
catcher and infielders may be putting on
a pick-off sign.
Anytime I was thinking of the
one-Second stop, never baked. But while
was reminding myself of the rule I've
missed a pick-off sign"
The Giles breakdown is not precisely
new Sain remembered. About a dozen
years ago or So-it was 1850, 1 believe
the American League umpires were told to
enforce the rule to the letter.
"Vic RaSchi, remember, had a rough
time. He set the major league record for
four balks in one inning and had six for
the season. After while, the umpires
became more lenient"

Judge Lands was commissioner of baseball
and the balk calls were filling the air "One

Stolen Passes
Mark Terps'
Fu||-ScaIe Drill

The University of Maryland's
football team operated on the
theory that they shall not
pass" yesterday.
In a full-scale scrimmage,
the second Of the spring drills,
the Terps came up with four
interruptions, three of these
by the first unit.
Linebacker Gene Feher
picked off two passes and Dar-
ryl Hill, the Negro back who
transferred from Navy, gath
cred in another and ran it
from midfield to the five-yard
line.
All told, the Terps pushed
over six touchdowns in the
Commute workout, plus a 81
yard field goal by rookie Jim
Rowe. Quarterback Dick Sinner
looked sharp running the first
unit and scored the first touch
down on a 21-yard scamper.
Fullback Bob Burton also
was outstanding extensively
and defensively and had the
longest scoring jaunt, a 28-
yard blast over left end.
Coach Tom Nugent, who
termed the workout "a good
one," had special raves for two
sophomore tackles, Tom Ci-
chowski and Matt Arbutina.
Nugent's first unit, running
his new "shifty-I" formation
which, in effect, includes five
backs, consisted Of Jerry Osler
at end, Olaf Drozdov and Ci-
chowSki at tackle. Fred Joyce
and Joe Ferrente at guard,
Feher at center, Sinner at
quarterback, Burton at the UP
back, Ernie Arizzi at the swing
back, Lenny Chiaverini at
tailback and Hill at wingback.

In addition, the Celtics are

Boston's job, as usual, will
be to hold super-stars Elgin
