Claiborne stated the National League may add the designated hitter next season but only as a one year trial, with Philadelphia in favor though unsure of full implementation until 1982. Kuhn backed league parity while MacPhail floated playoff reordering and slight schedule cuts, amid financial strain and a new rehabilitation provision for disabled players.

Short Game Worry For Tom Watson At Westchester Classic
Tom Watson, a leading figure in golf over the past three seasons, admits his short game and putting are not sharp ahead of the Westchester Classic at Westchester Country Club. He drives well and irons are okay but around the greens he struggles, though he remains the favorite for the $72,000 first prize as he seeks to gain on rivals. The course favors low scores, with many winners in the low 270s.
