NEW YORK (UPI)-A- lan Bannister, the No. 1 selection in Wednesdays free agent winter baseball draft here, received a substantial bonus, rumored in the neighborhood of $100,000, from the Phillies when he was signed immediately in Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Philadelphia gained the right to make the first selection in the draft off the dubious distinction of having the worst record in the majors last year.
