1920s

By 1924, he had settled at the New York Telegram, where he remained for the next forty years. In 1925, he won Best Story of the Year from the Baseball Writers Association of America for his portrayal of Walter Johnson's loss in the seventh game of the Washington Senators/Pittsburgh Pirates World Series match-up.

In the early 1920s, Daniel helped start Ring Magazine with Nat Fleischer. He was a prolific contributor and editor throughout The Ring's history and could be seen behind his desk at The Ring when he was well past the age of 80.
