Colored Nine Previews of 1929 Hawks Series at Park Diamond
Waterloo fans will see the Colored House of David nine from Cuba in a two game set at 3 PM on Wednesday and Thursday. John Donaldson, their manager and pitcher, is praised as a model athlete, while the team combines strong play with comic showmanship attracting crowds and a near 200 game season. Six Waterloo players were released, including Casper and Meyers, as Dixon trims veteran outfielders. Circle leads the Des Moines club in home runs with a .480 average, and several ex Waterloo players move to higher leagues. The Dubuque and Iowa Valley league notes detail roster changes and injuries as the season begins.
