Not sure what type/style of line-up cards everyone is used to seeing ... I have seen several styles but lately have not seen any with unnumbered spots below.
In general, the first nine lines on the card are the batters. One of those would be the DH, if one is being used. The person playing defense and not batting is generally listed in the tenth spot.
From T's description, the coach has listed his DH incorrectly and used an arrow in an attempt to alleviate the error. (To designate a DH and use someone else to play defense was likely an afterthought on the coach's part

here's the MAIN problem using arrows.
9 are listed on the line-up and the 10th player is the DH. Assume DH is batting for F1. Coach draws arrow. Now in the later innings F1 bats for himself meaning the ROLE of the DH is done but the DH still has Re-entry privaleges.
The original DH now replaces F1 and comes into pitch the next inning.
You now have a line-up card that looks like a color by number book that the kids use when learning how to draw.
Hey if you can follow that more power to you but it's much easier to use the "conventional method" of inserting the DH right under the player whom is batting for. That way when changes are made you simply cross out and insert vs. a Picaso painiting
