Tommy Heath, reputedly fellow
who can teach 'em how to hit.
Paul I. Pagan. owner OF the
Pacific Coast League club, an
nounced yesterday he had &C
quired the batting tutor of Willie
Mays, the New York Giants
slugger, in an effort to pull the
weak hitting Seals out OF last
place, where they finished this
season.
Heath, former st. Louis Browns
catcher. whose home is at Ven-
tura. Calf. last season managed
Minneapolis of the American AS
sociation. From there he sent up
Mays to help the Giants win the
National League pennant.
Heath, whose batting average
as a player himsel never reached
300, will take over the managerial
role of ODoul, who twice led the
National League in hitting.
Pagan. commenting on that in
his announcement, said:
1T doesn't matter that Heath
was no great hitter himself. The
important thing is his ability to
teach young players how to hit.
The most successful teachers Of
great opera stars couldn't sing a
note themselves.
Pagan said, I'VE decided to pick
"a young man Heath is 38) on his
way up rather than some we'll

Heath, Fagan added. was one
surprised man-he hadn't applied

|20.PIus Golfers OUT
lin Women S Revision
|0f Handicap Classes

After spending several seasons
encouraging the high handicap
lgolferS to compete in it's tourna-
ments, the Women's District Golf
Association reluctantly cut the 90
Iplus handicappers out of all but
one event in revision of the ham
dicap classes yesterday.
Effective with the 1852 season,
Glass A will be scratch through
10, Glass B will be II through IS,
and Class c will be Is through 20.
Last year the class limits were
scratch through IA for A, Is
through 20 for B and 21 through
26 for c.
However, the tournament fields
became SO large under the 1851
limits that it became increasingly
difficult for the tournament chair
man to obtain courses for the ID
regularly scheduled competitive
events of the Association. The
women golfers have been asked
to keep their tournament fields
under 100.
One Tourney For 2O-PIus.
Now players with handicaps
over 20 will have only one tourna-
ment sponsored by the Associa-
ton. and in it will play for a
trophy donated by Mrs. Owen
Hines of Washington Golf and
Country Club. 1t will be known
as the buffers tournament. The
original buffers will become the
Elizabeth Harris Cup.
Mrs. M. j. Torlinski, outgoing
president of the WDGA, said there
was no alternative other than to
reduce the limits for the handicap
classes. Now the higher handi-
capped players will have to work
harder to get within the c class
maximum
Under the 1852 setup, there will
be 95 players eligible for Glass A
tournaments, 1913 for B and 1872
for c, with about 40 registered
players over the Glass c limit. The
usual figure is IS per cent partici-
patton from Glass A players and
about SO per cent for the others.
Glass A Became Unwieldly.
Glass A became so unwieldly last
year that 145 players turned out
for the annual Corby Cup tourna-
ment at Columbia Country Club.
At that time there were nearly
ITS players in the scratch to IA
class. which is far too many.
Yesterdays meeting at Column
bia Country Club was attended by
all club chairmen and all men,
bers Of the Executive Committee
but one. 1t was the last business
meeting for Mrs. Toflinski and
her committees. The incoming
president. Mrs. NJ. Hale Dinneen

Club. was in accord with the re-
visions.

With Bud Foley, veteran de-

Goalie Nick Damore rounding into

League game with Springfield in
Uline Arena. Play will start at

a .375 percentage for the cam
paign. but has split even with the
Indians. dropping a Us decision,

The Indians were not helped

Player-coach Bob Dill may be ex-
Ipected to supply his Usual rough

Foley, who has been out with q
bad ankle. could help greatly to-
night. The Lions defense was
ragged without Foley. Damore,
with two games under his belt,
should begin showing the form
that made him the American

years.

seen football travel with national
affairs before the same as
politics and religion. Athletics
follow the pattern of national
life
He agreed that there "are evils"
in intercollegiate sports, evils
which should be de-emphaSized. :"
but added:
Emphasis should be on college
athletics. It's part of education
now. No longer is it the tail: it S
a part of the main body. We need
athletics.
Only few moments earlier. the
group heard John Kastan. Boston
University's great ground-gaining
