The names of their teachers are Phi! Cavarretta and Don Heffner. The two were named to the Tiger coaching staff Tuesday by manager Bob Seheffing.

Cavarretta had just been fired as manager rf the Chicago Cubs, before the season had even bgun, and Seheffing, one of Phil's coaches, ran the team for a day.

Foiles was on the Denver roster and his departure may mean that Lou Berberet will get another chance to make it with the Tigers. Seheffing. perhaps playing It coyly, declared he did not know yet which job Cavarretta and Heffner would hold next Reason. But it seemed probable that Cavarretta, former National League batting champion, most valuable player, manager of the Chicago Cubs and Scheffing's personal friend, would succeed Billy Hitchcock as the Tigers'; third base coach. Heffner probably will take over at first for Jo Jo White.

Tom Ferrick, of course, was retained as pitching coach before the Tigers hired Seheffing as their skipper.

Cavarretta was a personal pick while Ferrick already was signed and Heffner was the choice of Rick Ferrell despite denials by Ferrell.

But there are! few tears in the eyes of Lion basketball coach Joe LaScola and the boys he hopes to mold into another title contender, ''We are starting right where i we did last year," LaScola said, "We are meeting U-D High in a 1 nonleague opener. I just hope we end up.

the way we did last year, too." LOUISVILLE "I OUGHTA GIVE THE TIGERS a helluva psychological boost," said Phil Cavarretta. Minutes earlier the long-time National League first baseman and ex-Cub manager had been unveiled in tandem with Don Heffner, late of the nonathletic Athletics, as the two new hired hands of Bob Seheffing, new Tiger manager. Introductions, where needed, had been made and now the conversation had reached the light-talk stage. What was that again. Phil? "I said I oughta give the Tigers a big lift in morale," he repeated.

His teams finished eighth, fifth and seventh.

Last year he managed Lancaster in the Class A Eastern League, finishing sixth. Heffner, 49, broke in with the Yankees In 1934 and was a utility infielder with them for four seasons. He spent six years with the Browns and one with the Phllly A's. Heffner played briefly, very briefly, for the Tigers in 1944. He lasted six games.

And we haven't been beating anybody too much lately. Maybe it will help." That wasn't the real reason Seheffing turned to the dark-visaged Cavarretta to help him lead the Tigers out of the woods. The pair are old friends. That's one reason. That's a Challenge, Tigers WHEN CAVARRETTA managed the Cubs in the early 1950s, one of his coaches just happened to be the same Bob Seheffing, who now is his boss.

That's another reason. "But not the biggest," said Seheffing. "Phil is a real scrapper. I don't mean a loud mouth guy who bounces around looking for trouble on the field. I mean he's a man who expects nothing but an all-out performance from everybody on his team.

"If he doesn't get it, I've seen him personally challenge a player he thought wasn't putting out. And I'll tell you something else. I never saw anybody accept that challenge either."
