i eirh Speaking of Sports Frank (Chucky) Wojack who has been covering second base for the Decatur team in the Three-I League, has been released outright by the club management. The local boy had been playing a great game eince the start of the season but was the victim of an unfortunate “break.” About two weeks ago, Wojack re- eeived a badly split hand between two fingers and was forced to re- main out of the lineup. The Decatur management sent out a hurry call for a second basgman. In the meantime, while Wojack was still on the injured list, a 15- player limit rule went into effect in the league and the management was forced to drop Wojack in order to bring the team down to the required number. According to unofficial figures, Wojack was batting .317 and had a fielding average of .979. He accepted $2 out of 94 chances. word Acording to received by members of his family here k has received numerous from teams in the New York- | Penn league and he has decided to | hook up with the Elmira team.
