Waring served in the US Army during WWI. He was inducted at Ft. Logan, CO, on 4/22/1918. He served in Co F, 37th Infantry Regiment until his discharge, and was later a member of the American Legion.
"Ted" Waring, as he was usually known, was a catcher in the minor leagues from 1907 to 1917. His baseball card shows him as a player in the Pacific Coast League in 1910. He enlisted in 1918, but returned to baseball after the war ended. In 1921 he was the manager of the Independence Producers (Kansas). With a record that year of 103-38 (a .730 percentage), Waring led his team to the League Championship.
Waring played infrequently during the 1920-21 season. During a game on May 25 in Miami, OK, he suffered a badly broken leg when a runner slid into him at home plate. The injury later caused gangrene to set in, and his leg was amputated.
During 1925-1926 Waring was a scout for the old Kansas City Blues. After he left his scouting job, Waring worked as a dispatcher for the Kansas City Police Department for about 4 years.
His obituary in The Sporting News, 8/11/1962, noted that he died at the VA Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. His obituary also records his first name as "Harry."
