CINCINNATI (AP) Investigators for major league baseball have traced a $10,000 check drawn on Pete Rose's trust account to Paul Janszen, an FBI informant who. has accused Rose of betting on baseball games, a newspaper reported Sunday. The money was used to pay Janszen's lawyer, Merlyn D.

Shiverdecker, for representing the former bodybuilder in a federal tax evasion case. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer quoted unidentified sources as saying. Janszen, 31, has claimed he was the middleman between the Cincinnati Reds manager and Franklin, Ohio, restaurateur Ron Peters, who federal authorities claim handled $1 million in bets from Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader. The check, signed by Rose's lawyer and agent. Reuven Katz of was deposited in the bank account of Shiver-decker on March 22, 1988, The Plain Dealer taA.

In the lower lefthand corner of the check was the notation "loan," but investigators said they could find no documents verifying a loan agreement between Janszen and Rose, The Plain Dealer said. Rose associates Saturday also characterized the $10,000 check as a loan, but investigators say they can find no written agreement that spells out terms for repayment of the money or interest. "The thing that's interesting about this $10,000 is that if Pete made a loan to Janszen, why isn't there anything to show how it's got to be paid back?" the newspaper quoted a lawyer involved in the case as saying. "Pete is represented by competent, sophisticated people who would not give $10,000 away without some kind of written instrument as security." Janszen is serving a six-month sentence in a Cincinnati halfway house for evading U.S. income taxes on the sale of steroids.

Janszen has claimed in interviews with baseball and federal investigators that Rose owes him as much as $40,000 in gambling debts. Rose and his associates dispute the claims.
