WOJAK BATTING FOR .S17
New Britain Player Yields Heavy
Bat-His 20 Hits Have Sent in 10
of His Teammates.

If there is one youngster in the city
Of New Britain who is being watched
very closely by both fans and also in
the last few games by the Ivory Hunt
ers, it is "Chucky' VIOLA. While
only youngster in years he has corne
to the front very rapidly. Possessor
of a beautiful throwing arm he has
made many plays that a man without
this asset would have been entirely
unable to negotiate.
The following figures will give
very good idea of just. what his work
has been this year. In 10 games he
has been charged with 80 times at
bat, has scored II runs and has hit
the ball for a total of &c hits, two
baggers, 8 that took him to the dizzy
corner and that entitled him to a
round "trip ticket His work with the
bat has enabled, him to score 16 of
his teammates and he has free-ticket-
ed to first on four different occasions.
He is sporting an average of .317 at
the present time. His work in the
fielding department has progressed
rapidly and his record shows IS out
puts, As assists and 10 errors, for an
average of $50. This average is not
as large as many infielders but when
the fact is taken into consideration
that all of his 10 games have been
played on strange diamonds where he
must accustom himself to the lay of
the land in the short practice before
the games, his work is creditable.

PATHETIC TALE
OF GREAT POVERTY
Number Of One Of New York'S Old
Families Sells Chewing Gum

New York, Aug. 16--A short thick
set woman in an untidy black dress
told pathetic story of the poverty
Fand misfortune OF one branch OF New
York's oldest and most respected
families yesterday when she was ar
raigned before Magistrate Henry NJ.
r. Goodman in West Side court on a
charge of peddling chewing gum ann
candy in the Broadway theater dis
trict in spite of warnings to keep
away,
When Mrs. Marie Antoinette Van
Wyck, 40, she said was the wife of
George Mitchell Van Wyck, a cousin
of the late Robert A. Van Wyck, one
time mayor of New York, and of Au-
gustus Van Wyck, who used to be on
the supreme court bench in Brooklyn,
when she told how their small for
tune had vanished in investments;
how her husband was now para
lyitic, earning sometimes SIS as a
Waterman, and how she was trying to
help ny selling candy in order that
they might move out OF their one
room shack and into a fat for the
winter, the court was impressed and
ordered a suspended sentence.
Then a reporter sought the Van
Wycks for an interview.
In Uttered trucking yard at 19oth
street and Broadway, with a rickety
one-room shack in one corner, the I'M
tidy woman who had told such pa
thetic story of her Struggles shouted
with shrilI foreign accent her
opinions of the organizations which
had nterfered with her gum-selling.
There was nobody that would help
honest people earn their own living.
Welfare society were all takers. The
Van Wycks? Would millionaires help
them?
One eye she kept on the bleary-
eyed, shambling figure that was her
husband, shouting mpatiently at his
slow replies.
Neighbors who had once given the
couple temporary shelter when they
first wandered into the district cor
roborated the story of the family con-
nection, saying they had been In
touch with the Van Wycks now living
in Colonia, N. ]. But the help, they
said they understood had been given
once, had not satisfied George Van
Wyck's German French wife. He
could go back alone, they thought.

in 1920, Valparaiso sent an eleven
east to meet Harvard. Fraternities
were introduced. These and other
departures caused fractional clashes
and the university found itself head
ed toward speedy dissolution.
The present year rounded out half
century of Valparaiso's existence. 1t
was founded in 1873 by two young
teachers-H. P. Brown and o. p. Kill
sey.
The will of one of its founders
probably is one of the reasons for the
downfall Of the school. P. Brown
left his possessions to the school, but
apparently with some flaw or cordi-
ton to the title, because Henry Kim
sey Brown, former president of the
school and son of the founder, has
recently started an action to regain
control of 15 buildings valued at
1000, 900.
