 We dent Ike 10 keep on telling tho people of New Britain what we think of padcy oConnor oi Hart. ford n q baseball manager after shs trsstmsht he accorded Frank (CbocO Woiaes while the local boy was a member the neighboring EAstcrn league N. but we cant nelp sticking our individual chests when we l,~I the accyunts of Wojaek's work ul hortstop for tho Wil!iamsport club he New York-Penn. league.
 o'Cornor told Wojack on that lnamornbie day when about 200 Nddlts from the East end under the guiding hand of Rev. Thomas J. Laden were taken to Hartford to watch Wo.ack play with signs painted 10 tell the world whom they were for, tiist lie would never. in his (O'Conncr's) opinion be a ball player, either au inhclder or an C.; fielder, but clippings from Will Transport telling Of the work of the ,ocal boy with that club show how much Faddy's opinion Of young oall players Is worth.
 Wo'ack always said that it he were given the chance 10 play bali at his regular position which is shortstop. he would burn things up. Coming from himself, this didn't sound as convincing as 1t would have from somebody else, but "Chucky" believes in letting his ac- tons speak for themselves.
 An account of the game between Williamsport and Scranton for Thursday was received by friend of wojack's In this city and the friend was kind enough to let us gee it. The account of the game tells that Wiliamsport won by a 10 to 5 score. It was written by Bill Towne. a correspondent for the Will!amsport papers.
 Here's something of what he has to say about the local boys work m Thursdays game: Yesterdays game wasn't a wholly brilliant ex- hibition, we admit, but 1t showed just enough to convince US and a large number of other fans that the Hinchmanites right now are fully the equal Of any club in the circuit. A few weeks ago, such was not the case but today. with Wojack and kissinger on the list of local regu- lars, the White Roses or any other club will find 1t well nigh impos- sible to jar the Grays out of the lead"
 A little further down the column Is the following: "Virtually all of the fans know what Frank Wojack can do In the infield and his per formance yesterday merely added some supplementary proof to what has already been clearly demon strated."
 Further: down the line Is this Tn the second inning. Carter and Woiack had walked but the former was forced at third, Crandall to Rice. Young scored Wojack with a single which Lucas stopped with g sparkling jumping catch after 1t bounded badly"
 Just get this line: "ln the fourth, Woiack tripled and scored on Bed | lords error on Young's drive"
 Then again: Tn the ninth, Wo- iack singled and took second on Noung's single to short center after Wiskie had famed. Woiack waited !ust long enough to draw Sullivan : throw to second and stole third. ktssinger drove in both Wojack anI Young with a double 10 right field
 That's terrible bad playing, ism it'
 Looking over tho box score, "" lind that WojaCk was at bat three official times. He scored three runs
 h hifc friple aud q single. He stole one | base. third and figured in three ! double plays. In the field he had :, ;our rmou,s and five assists and no .rrors,
 W. hope Paddy O'Connor reads his!
 In tho rotes on the game, 1t says; | Wo.acE participated in all of the l, t;ra,s three double plays. He also sno hercd the Miners In the ninth | with a putout and two assists. His ina play was snappy running catch uf MCPhto's grounder and pretty 'hrow to first"
 From the above, ii looks : fl D'Conno. was right. Woiack will never be a ball player until he 3oes batter than he's doing right now How about it, Paddy:
 The battle between the Corbin Red 1 sox and The Falcons at St. Mary held yesterday afternoon was en- loved by a big crowd. Looking over
