Feb. 28 ea (AP) - one of the never ending wonders of the game of baseball is the fact that you are always learning some- thing about the complicated pas- time that you didn't know before. Take the business of 'checklng." We are ' debted to Frank shellen- back, one of the New York Giants' three coaches. for a tidy essay on this extremely important topic. Emir wonder how those managerial assistants you seehmndering around out there earn their pay? "When we're not doing anything else. it's a good bet that we're checking on somebody - either one of our own players or a fellow on the other side.” Shellenback said. ”We start checking our pitchers cspecially right now ill spring train- ing. Even during the off-season. without knowing it. they might have picked up some little habit that is a complete tip-off on what they're going to throw. All the other side needs to know is whe- ther its going to be a fast ball or a curve. "We sit there and study every little move our pitcher makes. check til he delivers it. All of a sudden. something will click. One of u-1 will see he's doing something he didn't do before. "It's not just the pitchers we check. We've got to watch the catcher and the shortstop and sec- ond-baseman. especially. There was one catcher - I won't name him - who had a long and succeaful big league career. and yet we and every other team ill the league knew whether he had called for a fast. ball or it curve every time by the way he set himself. I don't suppose he knows it to this day. ' "Our intielders. we check them to see if theyire swaying. They can see the catchers sign. of course. and so they know what the pitch will he. When we see I batter on the other team lean into it curve as though he owned it. we know s0methlng's wrong. somebodys tip- ping him. "So we check. and sure enough. we'll see that one of our infielders is swaying just a little bit in the direction the ball figures to be hit. That is, if it's a curve breaking in on a. left-handed batter. it figures to be hit to right field. so our sec- every mannerlsm from the time he gets the ball front the catcher un- ond baseman is anticipating it. That's all it smart batter needs." Boxer Jack Sharkey An Expert Fly-Caster ., ....

Said Roger Hornsby, the new Brownie manager: "Did him good. But ask Marty." "As a. matter of fact. it did." Miarion agreed. "You know my knee, the right one. was what kept me out last year. "But I played basketball all win- ter and it held up line. I worked hard for this new job. I think I gave it a pretty good test." Marty added that an old back ailment might force him to pull upl and rest. a day or so during the campaign. "But the knee seems okay," he said. Marion's flawless shorfstopplng and his eternal spirit earned him the title of "Mr. Shortstop." "I think I've got ii couple of more good years of play left in me.” he says.
