Senators Sign Dartmouth Ace
Washington buy star pitcher Peter Broberg from Dartmouth College after a substantial bonus. The 21-year-old right hander from Palm Beach flew to California to join the Senators in Anaheim. Broberg, the No. 1 pick in the secondary draft, declined to disclose the bonus. He had previously rejected a $175,000 offer from Oakland and reportedly sought about $100,000 from Washington. Team owner Bob Short said he would be in the starting lineup once signed, but Broberg will wait at least a week to pitch as Ted Williams plans a brief period of work before his first game.
