MORI ICONOMICAl BETTER I ORCHARD I SPRAYINO PARA 96 sill Pirates Pay $100,000 to Ballplayer Los Angeles. Jan. 31 (U.R) The most unusual deal in base ball history brought Paul Pettit, an untested roukic 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 young ster of 18 who graduated from Narbonnc high school at Lomita, Cal., last week, will report to New Orleans March 1 for a year's seasoning' with tho Pirates' Southern association farm team. The contract that makes him organized baseball's highest-priced rookie was signed late yester day in the office of Al Blum, business manager for Frederick Stcphanl, motion picture writer and producer who set up the transaction when ho signed Pettit to an exclusive contract while the boy was still in high school. The rules of organized base ball forbid any club to approach a prospective player until 24 hours niter he graduates from high school. But Stephani was not bound by such rules.
