Pirates Sign 18-Year-Old Rookie For Record Salary LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1. (,B Baseball's new bonus cham pion is 18-year-old pitcher Paul Pettit, who will get almost $100. 000 Irom the Pittsburgh Pirates. In an unprecedented deal, Pi rate general manager Roy Hamev agreed yeslerday to fork out that sum for the six-foot, twoinnh, 203-pound southpaw who amazed observers with his twirling for Narbonne high school and Ameri can Legion teams. He's pitched six no-hitters. The hundred grand transaction with a Hollywood twist topping the $75,000 bonus given catcher Buddv House by Detroit and the $30,000-plus which went to John ny Antonelli of the Boston Braves, Dick Wakefield of De troit, and one or two others, marks a new high prie for a rookie. What To Do What is young Pettlt going to do with all that money? "Nothing," he laughed, "I can't touch it until I'm 21." But his father, George Pettit, a Long Beach night watchman, and movie producer Frederick Stephani, the prodigy's agent, will keep a careful eye on it. Petit will pitch for New Or leans in the double A Southern HEATILATORS for efficient, smokeless fireplaces PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. 3. Phone 242 association this vear. Hamev said. As a bonus player he will have to ne brought up to the Pirates in 1951. "We are very happy to land thu boy," said Hamey. "Our scouts have watched him closely for a long time, rale him very h.ghly and believe he has a chance to become an outstanding pitcher in the majors." Bidding Spirited The bidding for the lad was spirited, with the Brooklyn Dodg ers and New York Yankees re ported in the running until the Pirates raised their offer to what Hamey admitted was a $100,000 deal. Pettit himself won't get all the $100,000 because of the unique contrart he signed with Stephani before his recent graduation. Major league scouts, by law, couldn't contact Pettit until he was out of high school, but Stephani unbound by restric tionssigned him to an $85,000 movie, radio and television con tract, which was approved in court. The Pirates assumed this con tract and tossed in $15,000 more, most of which will go to Pettit. Stephani, however, will still have the movie, radio and Video rights.

Main 1336-J .V PCL Baseball Leaders Blast Majors' Draft SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1-4.VI Rebellion in the baseball ranks Is bubbling again In the Pacific Coast league. It is the same old sore spot, the major league draft.' Two of the coast loop's strong men, Paul I. Fagan of the local seals and Clarence "Brick" Laws of the Oakland Acorns, were on record todav a strongly opposed to the draft. They are ready to -esist it, if the rest of the clubs will agree. This attitude is positively not new. It is the latest chapter in a serial that seems destined to run indefinitely. President Laws strenuously objects to the base ball law that permits the major leagues to draft his most eligible Oakland player for what he con siders a mere pittance $10,000. A minimum draft price of say, $25,000, would be more adequate, perhaps, but Laws would prefer to have no draft at all. President Fagan of San Fran cisco sees eye to eye with his rival of across the bay. San Francis co is deflntely a big league town," says Fagan. "The Pacific Coast league Is too big to be known as a minor league. We want the majors to agree to the elimination of our triple A sta tus." Both Laws and Fagan feel they will gain support for a new fight against the draft from the other completely Independent clubs In the league, Sacramento, Seattle and Portland. Los Angeles is a Chicago possession. Hollywood's status is uncertain because !t pays tribute to Los Angeles for permission to operate in the lat ter's territory. At the present rate of deaths and injuries, one out of every two Americans alive today either has been or will be Injured in a traf fic accident during his or her life time or will die as a result of such an accident. the Bulldogs went ahead 20-4 af ter five minutes, held a 54-22 half time edge and added o It in the second period.
