INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The
condition of North Carolina State
distance runner Kathy Ormsby, per
manently paralyzed from injuries she
sustaineci after jumping from a
bridge, was upgraded to stable from
serious Monday, a spokeswoman for
Wishard Memorial Hospital said.
Spokeswoman Karen Wilczewski
also said that Ormsby was expected to
be transferred at mid-week from
Wishard to Duke Medical Center in
Durham, N.C.
Her father, Dale Ormsby, said he
wanted his daughter transferred so
she could be closer to home.
The 21-year-old pre-med student
from Rockingham, N.C., suffered
multiple spinal fractures, a punc
tured lung and a broken rib when she
jumped from a bridge last Wednes
day night, minutes after dropping
out with 8V2 laps remaining in the
women’s 10,000-meter race at the
NCAA Track and Field Champion
ships.
Ormsby said his daughter had
been sedated during her hospitaliza
tion and was unable to discuss fully
the incident or events leading up to it.
“I believe, though, that it had
something to do with the pressure
that is put on young people to suc
ceed,” Ormsby said.
Ormsby was the collegiate record-
holder in the women’s 10,000 enter
ing the championship race when she
bolted from the track, ran toward a
bridge about two blocks away and
apparently jumped, police said.

“I think in general, one tampers with baseball as little
as humanly possible. The fundamental grid, the
geometric beauty of baseball ought to be altered gin
gerly. ”
—A. Bartlett Giamatti,
New National League president
Red Sox hat on campus and who once
said his life goal was to become presi
dent of the American League,
Giamatti quickly established his alle
giance to the National by calling the
AL’s designated hitter rule “appall
ing.” That fit his view that baseball
history should be respected.
“I think in general, one tampers
with baseball as little as humanly pos
sible,” he said. “The fundamental
grid, the geometric beauty of baseball
ought to be altered gingerly.”
Giamatti, who will officially take
office at the major league baseball
meetings next December, began his
baseball career as the manager of the
South Hadley, Mass., high school
team in 1951. “That’s probably the
highlight too,” he said.
But he didn’t seem to think it
strange that he would go from acade
mia to sport. Nor did his friends.
“People of letters have always gra
vitated to sport,” Giamatti said. “I
even tried to write about it. I’ve al
ways found baseball the most satis
fying and nourishing game outside of
literature.”
Giamatti acknowledged that he
has had no experience with profes
sional sports. But he noted that he

ran a university with 33 varsity teams
and said that will help him during the
next six months, which he will spend
learning his new job from Feeney.
Officially, his chores will include
scheduling, approving player con
tracts, supervising umpires and play
er discipline. But Giamatti also sug
gested he would take an interest in
the relationships of the teams to the
cities in which they play.
“There’s a basic reason this game
is so important,” he said. “It’s become
a form of public trust.”
He also seemed to differ with
Ueberroth on what may be the first
pressing issue he will face — drugs.
Where Ueberroth has ordered
mandatory testing of all baseball per
sonnel, Giamatti said he would prefer
it be voluntary.
“I think it’s a very difficult issue
and I haven’t really thought about it
that much,” Giamatti said. “I’m not
averse to testing and I think voluntar
ism is much to be desired. But on
balance, if it comes to it, mandatory
testing might be acceptable.”
