Frank Kersey Succeeds in Re-
facilitating Club That
Failed
BY X. ID. THOMAS.

The riddle of the Independent
Sandlot League has solved itself.
When the Waverly ball team hung
a bee on the Knickerbockers, 6 to 4,
the bugs we're satisfied that Frank
Kersey. who dragged the Waverly
Club out OF the abyss of failure,
had made good.
That was the thing puzzlinS folk
had the Waverly Club actually
come back? In two years, the
Waverly Club won four baseball
championships, its senior and Jun.
Tor teams twice triumphing in the
Independent series.
Then the club went smash.
After this, Frank Kersey picked
up a few loose strings and began
tying things together and rebuild
ing. He soaked fifty berries OF his
own dough in franchise in the In
dependent Sandlot League. He then
rounded up players. He turned out
a brand new team,
And apparently it is a first,rater,
for his gang played excellent base
ball to win an opener in the new
league. in which is grouped the
class of Washington's sandlotters.
So much for WaveFly.
People turned out in goodly num-
bers to see the sandlotters' grand
opening, there being about seventy
games altogether in the Independent
League, Potomac League, Washing
ton,Maryland League and the sen
ior, junior and midget classes of the
Washington Baseball and Athletic
Federation.
Near capacity crowds saw all four

and each was a contest worthy of
the bugs attention.

The same can be said Of the
American League club here. Dur
ing the time the Red Sox were con-
sistent champions, they had team
that appealed to local fans. The
latter considered that the club was
city institution, and indeed It was.
We all remember the Loyal Root
ers Club. of Boston, and how they
turned out with all the proud pomp
that bands OF music, the mayor
of the city, and marching numbers
produce, and the great impression
they made by their staunch loyalty
10 their favorite team, on visits to
New York and other cities where
world series were played.
Wen, all that .hurrah and en-
thusiasm has been revived. The
town people are now talking base
ball on the street corners and also
turning out big crowds to both
baseball parks.
Cant. Dave Bancroft, of the
Braves, has already become very
popular here. He has his team
right up on their tiptoes fighting
every inch of the way IN every
game they play. Their series with
the Giants at the Polo Grounds
recently was an illustration of what
fast pace the Braves have been
setting since the championship sea,
son was started.
The result Of every game was
in doubt ups to the time the last
Brave was retired. The National
League champions won the majority
of the games played, but not until
