The deal was helped along when Pettit announced that Pittsburgh was the club of his own choice. That made Frank McKinney, then Pirate president, very happy. Pettit and Roy Hamey, now a Yankee executive and then Pirate general manager, agreed on Pettit’s future after a conference. : 8 #8 8 5 8 8. OTHER BASEBALL clubs lambasted the deal. Even Happy Chandler, the high commissioner, investigated, Chandler could find nothing amiss, no evidence of tam= pering. The pact with the Pirates paid Pettit's father $5200 and allowed Pettit, himself, $750 for haneymoon expenses, He used up the $750 Jan. 21 when he married his s high school sweetheart. Pettit had rough sailing with the Pirates’ New Orleans club last season, winning two and losing seven. He was used two and two-thirds innings by Pittsburgh this season. As a reliefer he gave up one run and two hits, * The youngster is the 12th hurler on the Tribe staff and the fifth lefthander. .The Tribe must trim three players to get down to the 23-player limit tomorrow midnight.
