Perhaps the lineal descent which has come down to the Hartford baseball team manager was crossed somewhere, because Paddy hasn't shown the same sense of square dealing that should have characterized his work as a groomer of ball players,

Here vas the situation Wojak started off last spring with the Chi cago White SoX. His arm troubled him and he was sent home to rest Up. He was here in New Britain when representatives, of the Hart ford baseball team interviewed him and asked him 10 play ball. Wojak Was reluctant to go to Hartford, probably sensing that it wouldn't be q good thing for him.

One young fellow who started away with one of the balls, was caught in the act by Park Policeman McGrath and Detective OMara lectured him on the evils of thieyery. It was lucky for the boy that he was not brought to headquarters and subsequently, to court. This has been a practice at Walnut Hill park both on Saturdays and other days for the boys to steal the balls. The police have promised to stop it and yesterday was the first move in that direction. Those caught in the future will not be so lightly dealt with.

The fact that the Hartford paper that has always been OConnors oracle states second time that "Chucky" was not of Eastern league caliber will grate on the baseball sensibilities of New Britain fans. We still claim, against Hartford and any other city, that "Chucky" Woiak did not get a square deal at the hands of the Hartford management and that had he been given the op- portunity to play steadily and at the position where he has always played he would be able to keep his stand ing with the best Of them in Hart ford or any other team in the East ern league.

Well! The expected has hap pened. "Chucky" Wojak will no longer sit idle on the Hartford base ball team bench, because he was handed his unconditional release yesterday by Manager Paddy O'Con- nor. We say expected because it took no fortune teller to see that "Chucky" had fallen into the bad graces of the hard boiled" manager of the Capital city team and would be passed up with very little grace.

April 2s.-The grand fleet of the United States exempli7 fled she weakness of the defense of the Island of Oahu, the purported center of the nations web of de- fense in the Pacific when 1t deliv- cred 1t main attack In the joint army and navy maneuvers. which ended at noon yesterday In the vicinity of Haliewa on tho north west coast of the island.
 The attack was preceded by a feint attack at Mannalua bay and a secondary attack Ut Barbers' point The attacking fleet forces were known as the Blues, while the land forces. defending the island, were known as the Blacks.
 All three attacks were preceded by preparatory barrage by bomb- CTS of the Blue" ships and sub sequent landing which was accom- panied by heavy Posses" on the part of the Blues" The landing par ties, however, were to certain ex- tent successful in that they occu- pied a considerable number of Black" entrenched places.
 The main attack of the "Blue" fleet was delivered shortly after the zero hour--dawn 22 between Waia- lua and Kawaiharai, where a large number of Blue" troops landed suc- cessfully despite heavy casualties '' The landing forces took up an initial position on the beach pre- paratory to developing arrangements for assaulting the Black" defend CTS of the farther inland.
 Some casualties to the Blue forces resulted from the heavy surf which made landing difficult. From this standpoint 1t would have been to the advantage of the Blue forces if they could have arrived two days ago. when the sea wax calm.
 The attackers were met by heavy fire from machine gunners, relies and mobile artillery, the latter be. ing placed ill fields so as to make the location of the guns difficult tc ascertain from the sea.
 The weight of numbers was or the side of the Blue" forces and the "Black" first line of defenses fell back to previously prepared DO. sitions. Reinforcepents which hat been pressed forward to that sector by the "Black" commanding genera failed to repel the Blue" attack.
 The entire engagement wal marked by intense aerial activity or both sides. considerable damage anC casualties being inflicted of whicl no account has yet been determined
 The umpires are now considerin, the conflicting claims of the higl command of both forces in an ef fort to ascertain who won tn "War".
