1 Schinkel Shows Up -He'll Play Tonight 1962 APRIL 'SMUN DE AFONAS By Jim McCulley Believing that Ken Schinkel Stanley Cup competition with yesterday brought Rod Gilbert, right winger, to New York. Though the 21-year-old farmhand arrived in time for practice yesterday morning, Muzz Patrick's hurry-up call for help proved unnecessary. Schinkle also showed up for the workout on Garden ice, took a full-scale drill and skated as though nothing was wrong with his right toe. SO, WHEN the Blues resume their Cup series against the Maple Leafs here tonight before an SRO crowd of their attacking forces will be the same as they were when the series semi-finals opened in Toronto last Tuesday; the same, that is, unless player-coach Doug Harvey makes a last-minute switch. He said he's not contemplating any line changes, however, as long as Schinkel remains available.

"The damned thing must be magnetized," Schink growled after skating off the ice yesterday. Pointing to his right foot, encased in a shoe a half size larger than his left one, Ken said: "I got rapped on the toe again today. It's hurting a little bit now, but I'll play tomorrow night." "GILBERT IS useless to us now." said Patrick, the GM, after Schinkel performed so well in practice." He was brought here in an emergency, under the rules, but now we don't have an emergency. But Gilbert (pronounced Gil-bear) will stay here for a day or so, just in case." That Schinkel, right wing on the Blues' No. 3 line and a valuable operator as a penalty killer, showed up, yesterday came as no surprise to Harvey, the old pro from Montreal.

Doug had remarked on Friday, despite Dr. Kazuo Yanagisawa's professional opinion that Schinkel possibly was through for the season, that "many hockey players have skated with broken toes." "Skating with a broken toe and walking with one are different things," the coach had said. "Maybe Ken will play." WITH OR without Schinkel, in any case the Rangers will take the Garden ice tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in desperate straits. Down, 0-2, in their first stanley Cup competition- in four years, the Blues must win either this evening or in game No. 4 here Tuesday night, to avoid.

Majors Ban Me Mechanical cal Pilfering By Dick Young St. Petersburg, which have hibernated all lulu -filled with cloak-and-dagger signal relays, confessions, and, of course, blanket denials. The entire yarn only now is wriggling entirely into the open. One team tried to swipe signals illegally during the past World Series, it develops, and was quickly and quietly stepped on by Commissioner Ford Frick. This led, it develops further, to passage of winter legislation (never officially announced) prohibiting such nefarious practices, and providing punishment of violators.

"SHOULD A TEAM be proven to have employed mechanical means to steal signs during a ball game," says an NL official, revealing the heretofore semisecret legislation, "the game shall he declared forfeited." There are two key words in the new law: and A mechanical device, obviously, pertains to the use of binoculars in the bullpen, scoreboard, grandstand, or elsewhere; the use of blinker lights to transmit information, or the use of phones; or DUNDAY SPECIAL waved towels, etc. It always has been, and remains, perfectly proper for a team to steal signs with the naked eye alone, and to relay them via a shouted word, a subtly crossed leg. a whistle (not store-bought), etc. SIGN-STEALING without mechanical devices is, in fact, not only permissible but respected.

THE BLUES were full of that so-called winning spirit during yesterday's hour and a half drill. They appeared ready and anxious to make amends for their stumbling efforts in Toronto last week. of Enemy March springtime, baseball's winter, crawl out of their cocoons. spy stuff, challenged ethics, Gray to Nats Washington, March 31 (AP). -Sid Gray, former sports writer for the New York Herald Tribune and the Post, today was named public relations director for the Washington Senators baseball club.

Gray is vice president of the Baseball Writers' Association. from the hunting grounds to the ballfield, they are able to see past the coverups of the pitcher and catcher, and pick up the clue that tips off the BASEBALL IS spotted with incidents of games that have been won and lost through sign-stealing, legal and illict. One of the more famous occurred in '41, when the Dodgers and Cards were wrapped in their fiery pennant race. Whit Wyatt and Mort Cooper, the stars of their time, had fired blanks through eight innings. Billy Herman banged Cooper for a double in the ninth, stole the catcher's sign for the next pitch to Dixie Walker, and the game was gone as Dixie, receiving the signal from Herman, stroked a single.

Second base is the principal vantage point of the slick signstealer. Leading off the base, he has a relatively clear shot at the finger wigwagging by the catcher. To combat this, all big league teams have "switches" in signs. Thus, with a man on second, the normal signal for a. curve may automatically become the sign for.

a breaking ball. Or, in the mul-1 tiple sign-system, the second set of wig-wagged fingers could become the true call, rather than the first set. IT BECOMES pretty compli-! cated at times, and explains why, particularly with a runner on second, the catcher is "crossed-up" by the pitcher, who didn't quite understand the switch. A wild pitch or passed ball often results. To guard against such crossups, the catcher often calls timeout and holds a refresher course on the This is the ac- Signs 2 wormy little secrets, This year's larva was a binoculars, surreptitious cursed sign-stealing.

"That's take so says "Switching between by-product of modern-day the main reason games long to play these days," Solly Hemus, Met coach. signs, and conferences catcher and pitcher, add 20 minutes to a game." SAYS LOU BURDETTE, veteran Braves pitcher: "If you want to speed up games, do away with stealing signs from scoreboards. The legal sign- stealing isn't bad. We can beat that with simple switches. It's the other stuff that takes all the time." Burdette is a heady pitcher who sometimes calls his own sign-switch.

Early Wynn is another. With a man on second, the catcher flashes, say, the sign for a curve. The cautious pitcher, wary of a sign-steal, then makes a subtle move, perhaps with his hand, perhaps with a foot. By pre-arrangement, this tells the catcher that the pitcher intends to throw, not the signalled curve, but a fastball. Having the pitcher make the sign-switch, rather than the catcher, affords extra protection.

A clever baserunner might detect the catcher's switch, but has no view of the pitcher's everso-slight movement. SUCH COUNTER espionage has disillusioned many a batter. There's something about crouching over the plate, confident that a curve is coming, only to have a fastball buzz under your chin; something to make a man lose all taste for "getting the pitch" from a teammate. The DiMaggio-Dressen incident of years ago is a case in point Charley, widely famed for his sign-detection, flashed the sign to Joe Di, who was almost skulled (Continued on page 137, col. 4) BLOOD DONORS Men-Women Physically Acceptable ARE PAID 340 SECOND AVE.
