I don't think Watir (1.4.1, at least) has built-in support for the <th> tag.
But if you know the index of that <span> in the document, you can get to it using $ie.span(:index, theIndex) Otherwise, if you really need to interact with the TH itself, you may need to use Watir 1.5.x and its new XPath support (unless 1.5 already has a class for TH). The list archives have examples of using XPath to access unsupported elements.
