Dr Andrews’ Waterloo Hire Draws Central Association Raps
Dr Andrews, Waterloo manager, faces skepticism from Burlington Hawkeye writers as he builds a youth driven squad. At Kewanee he transformed a last place club into a fifth place finisher in 1911, sold 5000 dollars in players, left 4000 dollars in treasury, and left for St Joe in 1912. Waterloo fans expect a fighting, hard swinging team built around veterans and fast youngsters despite a slow start, hoping for a pennant chase under his leadership.
