Investments 0idn’t Turn Cut For Pirates

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 1T—Pitt.s- burgh Pirgtes have found an un- happy answer to the housing shortage by spending at least $620,000 to "buy" cellar quarters which other National League base- ball tenants were delighted to give away.

Bucco owners admit that fat figure represents the approximate amount they've put out for men they hoped would give them at least a view of the league pen- nsnt race.

Instead, the only sight- that meets their anguished eyes is a worm's view of the other clubs striving to make the Bucs’ eighth place lease binding for the season.

Pittsburgh paid Brooklyn ap- proximately $300,000 for pitchers Kirby Hlgbe and Hank Behrman, catcher Dixie Howell and: infield- er Gene Mauch. This was reduced by $50,000 when Behrman re- turned to the Dodgers after fail- ing to win here. Mauch went to Indianapolis, leaving l-ligbe and Howell the remnants of what was to have been a "price package."

The Dodgers separated the Bucs from about $00,000 more in the sales of pitcher Steve Nagy and infielder Eddie Basinski for $30.- 000 each. Nagy was farmed out and Basinski was released.

Detroit Tigers received $50,000 for Hank Greenberg. New York Yankees netted 820.000 for pitch- ver Ernie Bonham and $10,000 each for pitchers Mel Queen and Al Lyons. St. Louis Cards got $40,000 of the Pirate money for catcher Claude Klutta and 880.- 000 went to Seattle in the Coast League for pitcher Dewey Sori- ano, who failed t0 stick.
