Star High School Pitcher
Signed for $100,000 Bonus;
To Play for Pittsburgh Team
By Ben Cook
(United Preii Sports Writrr)
Los Angeles, Feb. 1 (UJ?) The most unusual deal In base
ball history brought Paul Pettit, an untested rookie left-hander
who pitched six no-hit games for his high school team, into
the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system today for a record bonus
of around $100,000.
"Our scouts think he will be an outstanding major league
pitcher," said Roy Harney, the Pirates' general manager.
"He certainly should be,
for that kind of money."
Pettit, a 6 - foot 2 - inch
youngster of 18 who graduat
ed from Narbonne high school
at Lomita, Cel., last week will
report to New Orleans March
1 for a year's seasoning with the
Pirates' southern association
farm team.
Signed Tuesday
. The contract that makes him
organized baseball's highest
priced rookie was signed, late yes
terday in the office of Al Blum,
business manager for Frederick
Stephani, motion picture writer
and producer who set up the
transaction when he signed Pettit
to an exclusive contract while the
boy was still in high school.
The rules of organized baseball
forbid any club to approach a
prospective player until 24 hours
after he graduates from high
school. But Stephani was not
bound by such rules.
"I wanted to make some sports
movies," he explained. "It cost too
much to sign an established play
er, so I found me a likely-looking
youngster who I thought might
develop and signed him up. That
left me free to deal with the base
ball clubs after he graduated."
Keeps Acting Rights
Stephani's contract gave him
Pettit's services as "an actor and
athlete" in return for $85,000
. spread over 10 years. He retained
the acting rights and sold the rest
,of the contract to the Pirates.
, The Pirates assumed Stephani's
.contract and will pay Pettit the
$85,000 plus "enough more to
bring the total to around $100,
000," Blum announced, , Pettit's
father, as guardian, was. paid, an
additional $5,200 and his attorney,
Boris Woolley, $1,500. .. -.
Largest bonus previously .on
record for a rookie ball player
was a reported $80,000, which the
Detroit Tigers paid last year for
Buddy I-lQusn.
New York, Feb. 1 (IPi Indoor
track had its own tempest In a
teapot today over whether Don
Gehrmann of Wisconsin or Fred
Wilt, the Indiana G-man, had won
the Wanamaker mile at the Mill-
rose games.
A .mysterious somebody was
expected to protest the decision
Saturday night which awarded
Gehrmann first place after a vote
by more officials than there were
competitors. But the squabble
was proving only that people
nave more fun than monkeys.
What it simmered down to was
that there were too many judges
and not enough distance separat
ing the runners. The upshot was
a stormy session among the offi
cials, most of whom seem to be
lawyers, in which such factors as
the U. S. supreme court and the
separation of church and state
took precedence over the 20-20
vision of . the men who called the
shot.
Too Many Judges
The difficulty, a Admitted by
Chief Judge Asa Bushnell, was
that there were too many Judges
peering along the tape when
Gehrmann and Wilt or Wilt and
Gehrmann plunged through the
hemp. .
John Downing was tne first
nlace iudee and he voted for Wilt.
MaJ. Patrick Walsh was th first
nlace checker nnd he voted for
Wilt. Fred Tavalena was the
second place Judge and he voted
'or wilt, victor uraeb was tne
third place Judpe but the second
plaoe checker. He voted for Wilt.
Obviously, Wilt could not have
been first and also second.
Bushnell, as chief ludne, step
ped in and cast the deciding bal
'ot for- Gehrmann, thus support
ing ;the second nnd third place
$wclies who declared Wilt was
ocona.
No Protest Piled
Irate, Walsh announced that be
would protest. To date, there
has been no protest filed.
But Fred Schmerz, who ran the
Mlllrose games, laid some ground
"ork by Insisting that the AAU
ptnstrntlon committee the court
of appeals In this case should
iisquniiiv liseu nnci appoint a
"ommlttee whose' Judgment was-
n t "colored. Fincus sober, an
other attorney, argued in rpbi't
tnl something about the U. S.
supreme court and everybody got
the courtroom "objection'.' look
in their eves.
Bushnell, In his best Jury man
ner, upheld his decision with the
nrofound observation that Gehr
mann "won by from three to six
Inches." It shook one's faith in
the New York bar to see him
permitted such latitude, but may
be that's because of the point
spread.
Snow Makes Ski

The Nordic combined Is a com

Switzerland and the United States

Norway, favored In the jumping
