This will be a regularly scheduled league contest with each team confident of victory going into the game.
 The Torrington lineup. according 10 Manager Tom Macleod, is al best, uncertain. but packers of the local team see in this an attempt of tho Pin City pilot to throw the To- calls off their usual caution and thus enable Torrington to come through with an unexpected win.
 The Falcon crew went through a spirited practice session last night at St. Mary's Field and both Coach Ray Bcgley and Manager John Ca bay expressed themselves as satis- fled over the showing of the team Eddie Hackbarth will catch tomor- row.

KENSINCTON READY FOR
 TOUGH BATTLE TOMORROW
Taftvlle Team Expected to Furnish Hardest Opposi. ton of Season-Vsitors Were Runners-up for the State Semi-Pro Title Last Year - South Enders Battling Torrington Club in Connecticut State League Today-Players All Set for Twin Weekend Program.
Following a spirited practice sos-

Following a spirited practice scs- sion held during the week, the kensington baseball team is all set for the two games scheduled today and tomorrow. The team is pointing to a victory over Torrington this afternoon and the players are all anxious to pin a defeat on the Taft vile crew tomorrow afternoon.
 Torrington will oppose the locals in state league game and this promises to be battle of sorts. Nothing would please the Torring- tonites more than to win from ken- sington today because the team is scheduled to meet the Falcons to- morrow. Kensington. however, with three batterymen in prime condi- tion, Jack Carroll, Walter Berg and Slim" Politis, is confident of pin- ming defeat on the Torrington crew.
 An air of mystery surrounds th0 TorringtOn team because of the ex- pressed inability of Manager Tom Macleod to name his players. It is well known that many veterans of former campaigns are on ths teams roster and kensington is pre- pared foy the best that the Pin City can produce.
 Taftville tomorrow will be a gams independent of the state league. The visiting crew holds the distinc- ton of being runner-up last year for the state scmi-pro title and it is out to win the flag this year if possible. The team is anxious to win from kensington because it will be able to compare it's strength with that of the teams entered in the Connecticut State League.
 It is a strong lineup that will face row. Well known stars from the Eastern end Of the state have been signed up again and the team is practically the same as the one that battlcd Nodwich for the state title last year. The lineup is furnished cleston. C, Lefty" Dyas, p. Lamory, 1b, DOWbrOSkl .b, Liberty, Sd, Normandi, ss, Mills or Buba, lf Jar wis. Of. and Dona, Tf

 Carr has rounded into wonderful form. He is at his best when the competition is hot and it will take over 14 feet to beat him. Mccall predicted.
 Carr beat his two foremost rivals, Lee Barnes of Southern California and Ward Edmonds of Stanford, last year by clearing 14 feet for the first time in athletic history. Sub sequently he vaulted 14 feet 1 inch indoors but Barnes, this spring, sail ed 14 feet, l F inches.

Presidential Bill Seeks Ban on
Alcohol in Nitrate Fields

SANTIAGO. Chile. January 81
President EIniiiano Figueroa- is
determined 70 curb drunkenness by
Law
A presidential bill intended to COM
bat alcoholism among workers in the
nitrate fields and copper mines of Tar
spac and Antotagasta in Northern
Chile IS now before Congress.
The bill would prohibit manufacture
and consumption OF any beverage con-
tanning alcohol II would apply to these
provinces. except in cities. towns and
other points OF concentrated popula-
ton There the manufacture of beer
and wine would be permitted as well
as their consumption IN clubs and
homes.
In message accompanying the bin.
the President says that II this does not
check drunkenness. he will propose
complete prohibition next year.
A Law known as q semi-dry law was
enacted for the two provinces about a
year ago. This permitted manufacture
OF vine and beer throughout the affect
ed territory. but prohibited stronger
drinks. Congress recently approved
modification Of this. permitting con-
sumption in clubs and hcsnes OF bev-
erages containing more than Is per
cent alcohol.
