New Star Pitcher To Join Pirates By RINGEARSON United Press Sports Writer Bristol; ’Va., up — bih Ben, a strapping 205-pound right-hander from, Goldsboro, N. C„ will be the next Class D pitcher to join the Pittsburgh Pirates. His own record and the guidance of Manager George Detore of the Bristol Twins, former Cleveland infielder turned skipper in the Pirate farm; chain, are responsible. Detore, a good-natured Dutchman who is given most of the credit for bringing Pittsburgh strikeout rookie "Rocket” Ron Necclal "out of the woods,” said today Bell —labeled “the Bomber” by fans---wlll join the Pirates by Shpt. 1 “and maybe a little sooner.” The 18-year-old firebailer, who stands six-feet, two inches, impressed Detore from the moment he entered Bristol camp last May. BeM assigned by the Pirates to Mayfield, Ky., in the Kitty league last July but worked out with Pittsburgh in spring training. He came under Detore's wing at Bristol after about three weeks at Burlington in the Carolina league. The young twirler suffered a back sprain in a game with Pulaski, De tore said, and the condition led up to, an arm injury, suffered July 1. Before his ill luck, “the Bomber” hurled twp no-hitters, against Bluefield and Kingsport/and went on to light up Detore’s eyes with an over all record so fart this season of nine and three? ’ i "Bell wasn’t badly hurt,” Detore said, "but we kept him out of tion for about six weeks t 6 give hifr arm time to heal. "Saturday night against Pulaski he \ looked like a million dollars,” the Bristol skipper continued, “but he gqt a little wild in the sixth.” However, “the Bomber” curbed the Phils with four hits that night to notch his ninth win of the season for Bristol. The 46-year-old Detore, who has a knack for spotting natural ability in a green moundsman, believes Bell is a good bet for the Pirates if he can get his control consistent. "He’s, only 18," the former Cleveland inhelder said, “and like all. young kids, he’s having trouble getting control. When he gets that down consistently, we don’t have any doubts about how he’ll do. For a kid, he has darn good poise,” Detore said. j "Bafring any accidents, I don’t thlrlk'he can miss as a major leaguer," Detore said.
