New Departures Play Twice

The New Departures will be seen at home twice over the weekend in pair of league ball games that arc highly important insofar as the standing Of the teams arc concerned. On Saturday the Torrington Tigers will invade Muzzy Field while on 4he Sabbath Freddie Smith and his Will limantic Jumpers" will visit Bristol for the edihcation Of the fans.
 Torrington will import some well known finger to replace Dick Tuckey, suspended, and according to one re- port Frank Woodward. ex-New Ha- ven Eastern leaguer, may don hos tile uniform. Goodridge will pitch for the league leaders.
 The Willis" realize that If they can defeat Bristol on Sunday their chances of going into first place are excellent, and that they will extend themselves to the utmost it is under- stood. The Threadcoes will entrust their hopes in the respective right arms of either Big Pete Wood or "Rube" Richards, and if either of these gentlemen come up to past per- formances, the locals are in for a tough matinee. Lester Lanning will be given the opportunity to avenge the former lacing meted out by the invaders.

 Make Big Liquor Haul.
 Through the cooperation of the local police today. the Southington police were able to return Frank Twaddy of Burlington avenue, this city, a former resident of Southing- ton to that place, to stand trial on charge of transporting liquor and incidental charges. Twaddy was stopped last night within the South ington limits and escaped only after abandoning his motor car, which was alleged to contain r five-galon cans of high proof alcohol. His oper- ator's license and his registration were in the machine, giving the po- lice first hand clue as to the escaped man.
 The local police went to Twaddy's home after being notified from South ington and although they found the accused absent were rewarded for their trouble by the finding of a i've gallon can and a pint bottle of SUD- posed alcohol. Twaddy did not show up at home last night but this morn- ing at 1880 o'clock appeared at the police station to inquire the reason for the police search at his home. He was booked by Desk Officer Ed ward Connors and the Southington authorities were called into the case. Prosecuting Attorney William Fitz- patrick and Officer Foley of South- ington came here and took the &C., cused back 10 that town for trial. After trial there. it Is the plan of the local authorities to try Twaddy here.
 According 10 the local police, Twaddy had had a reputation for booze running" for some time and for a year and half, efforts to catch him ed-handed have failed. When arrested this morning, he told of having had his motor car stolen in New Britain while visiting a friend. Later, it is alleged, he told the real story of the adventure of last night, when he was held up. He said that he had met rum runner on the state road between Milldale and Cheshire and 8 part of the load. was transferred to his machine.
 Whether or not. Twaddy was in business by himself or was merely acting as transporter could not be learned ss he was not any too willing to impart any of ths details of the business fo the police.
