Johnson Drafts Pitchers for Kansas City A's NEW YORK (UP)--Fans of the Kansas City Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates may not have much to cheer about after the 1955 baseball season starts, but they can be proud today of their teams' showings in the annual major-league player draft.

Ohio State, which wound up an unbeaten and untied season and won a bid to the Rose Bowl, was the first-place for them.

The Pirates picked only one player, outfielder Robert Clemente, but as usual General Manager Branch Rickey was a real "bargain hunter" and paid only 34,000 for the highly-touted "sleeper." All told, there wasn't much action in the annual talent grab bag-only 10 of the 16 teams bothered to make selections and the total purchase price of the 13 players picked was only $122,500 There is always a chance that the total may grow, for teams have until midnight tonight to make additional selections.
