Pittsburgh Signs
Nineteen Year Old

Los Angeles lANHD- BenIne
Daniels, 10, fast-baIl pitcher who
was graduated from Compton
High school last week, Tuesday
night signed a bonus contract to
play baseball for the Pittsburgh
Pirates organization.
The signing of Daniels marked
a continuation Of Indignation in
baseball and was doubly signifi-
cant because Branch Hickey, gen.
eral manager Of the Pirates and
the man who signed Jackie Robin
son for the Brooklyn Dodgers or
ganization in 1945, signed him up.
Ross Rosy" Gilhousen, a
former professional star, repre-
sented the Pittsburgh club as the
contract was signed at Daniels
home, 1871 K. 122nd st., with his
father, Bonnie Daniels Sr., and
mother looking on. GilhOusen,
listed officially as a scout for the
Hollywood Stars, recommended
Daniels, whom he had watched in
high school and American Legion
ball,
Five major league clubs were
interested in the right-handed
pitcher; the Boston Braves,
Pirates, Cleveland Indians, New
York Giants, and Chicago White
Sox. Their interest was stimulated
as a result Of contacts made by
this writer, who covered major
league ball in the East and Mid
west. Daniels originally was
noticed by Judson Howard, him
self a former professional player
and a friend Of the pitchers
family.
Bonnie, Junior, as he Is called
at home, hurled two years for
Compton high, with a To record
in 1850 and 1851. This year,
Daniels pitched two no-hit games
and a one-hitter.
In two years Of American
Legion ball, 1850 and 1851, Dan
IeIs won II games and lost only
s, with 81 In 1949 and 9-2 last
year. He also performed for the
Huntington Park Braves,
seml-prO outfit, and the Comp
ton Pacemakers.
An all-around athlete, Daniels
has received scholarship offers
from several colleges. He chose,
however, to begin his baseball
career, continuing his education
during the off season. Young Dan
iels stands six-one and weighs 1T
pounds.
Baseball experts believe he is
a good enough hitter to perform
as an outflelder. However. his
physical equipment, his excellent
fast ball, and his all-around pro-
spects as a winning hurler make
him more valuable on the mound
than in the outer garden.
During the past week. he has
been working out for various
scouts, among them Hollis Thurs
ton of the White Sox; Eve Pusich
Of the New York Giants; and
Babe Herman, Howie Haak and
Gilhousen of the Pirates organi-
cation. His winning performance
occurred last Saturday at Gilmore
Field where he pitched two in
nings, allowing only one hit and
striking out two. Also present
then was Branch Hickey Jr.

In connection with it, two courses
were offered at Dover in the past
college year, with many highway

"The highway field has an acute
need for men who have advanced

advanced training is especially
valuable when carried out by an
organized research group such as

NEW CONCRETE
CURE SOUGHT
Experts at U. of ID. and High
way Department Working
on PuzZling Project
OTHER TEST BEING MADE

More economical and efficient
methods of curing concrete pave
ments are being sought on joint
project of the State Highway De-
partment and the Civil Engineer
ing Department of the University
of Delaware.
The project is the most recent of
the four undertaken by engineers
of the two departments. Reporting
upon the latest project, Charles N.
Gaylord, professor of civil engin-
eering at the university, said that
ut is hoped that this project will
reveal the merits of various meth
DDS of curing concrete. Although
considerable research of this type
has been carried on, the subject is
still controversial. Just what in
formation is required to shed light
on the subject is as great prob
lem as how to acquire the data.
"One theory is that very small
cracks develop in the concrete slab
in the early stages of curing be-
cause of the slabs warping. The
warping is caused by temperature
variations in the slab, and as the
warping takes place damaging ten
sile stresses are set up in the fresh
concrete. If this theory is true a
very important factor in the cur
ing of concrete is to hold tempera-
ture variations to a minimum.
$50 far our tests on four slabs
have shown a variation in temper
ature from the top to the bottom of
the slab as much as 20 degrees,
Fahrenheit. These results indicate
the practicability of the project and
the feasibility of future work along
these lines"
