 The claim that Fitchburg made baseball financially successful when Dan Noonan had the team in Fitch burg has little weight with some owners In the league. They point to the fact that Duffy is credited with cleaning up between s2o.oo0 and sso.ooO the first year he was in Portland.

DON'T NEGLECT KIDNEYS
Swamp Root, pr. Kiimer's Prescription.
 0vercomes Kidney Trouble


 It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more at tention as they control the other or gans to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in remov- ing the pofsons and waste matter from the system by f1ltering the blood
 The kidneys should receive some as-i sistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, an moving bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick dust or sediment sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your Kidneys require help imne- diately to avoid more serious trouble
 An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as kid ney and bladder remedy Is Dr. Kill mer's Swamp-Root. There is nothing else like 1t. It is Dr. kilmer's pre- scription used in private practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. r., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention The Norwich Daily Bulletin. ~

HARVARD HAS 10
 MINUTE scRIMMAGE
Varsity Stopped Seconds Who Used
 Vale Plays.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 21.-A long, hard workout was given the Harvard football squad today in preparation for next Saturdays game with Yale. It culminatad in l07 minutes of scrim- mage between the varsity and the second elevens. Although the varsity held the ball for the greater part of the time, it was unable to score. The second team, using Yale plays like wise was unable to penetrate to the goal line.
 Gamer. as in yesterdays practice. was at tackle in place of Sweetser and showed up so well that it is thought he will start against Yale. Phinney and Brewer relieved Harte and Coolidge at end during the scrin- mage and were strong on the defense against the Yale plays. Another sub stitutioD was Minot for Horween at Fullback In the event Of Horween's leaving the game. N.is expectsds Mi not will replace him because of his bunting.
 Tomorrow night the students will hold a mass meeting to cheer the team. On Thursday morning the backs and ends will go to New Lon don, the remainder of the squad fol- lowing on Friday.

Is Harvard and Haushton showing poor sportsmanship The spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship seems to raise this question in regard to the deals that Harvard has handed Brown for the past four or i've seasons. Haughton and Harvard have dodged the Providence eleven by not playing first string men. The teams that the Brown University has placed on the gridiron for the past few seasons are of the type that warrant the respect of the best trained football elevens in this country. Haughton and Harvard to stack up the best string men owing to the fear of injuries just before the Yale game. This may be wise pol- icy in many respects but is that giv- ing Brown a square deal? It his been voiced that the Crimson scredule is each year becoming easier for the one aim of defeating Yale. Although the Yale contest is the banner one, but why is 1t the minor colleges who have elevens on tho field, that are cham pionship ones be made to stack up. against second raters?
 The present practice of the Harvard coaches gives possible grounds for a charge of unsportsmanship as shown in the Brown instance. Either Har-s ward should give the Providence co1-l lege a date when the, strongest Grim son team could meet her or run tie injuries chances before the Yale game.
 Yale runs the chances of injuries in playing Princeton just previous to the big contest.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR
Were Severe in Coppers
 and Other Industrial Stocks.

New York, Nov 21.-Stocl1s were in free supply during the early and final stages of today's irregular market, with scattered strength between times. Concessions were most general and severe in coppers and other issues which recently registered greatest gains. z st-f :
 Advances for the most part were restricted to those issues which fail ed to participate more than moder- ately, if at all, in the rise of the pre- vious week. Foremost among these were the sugars, in which gains ex- tended from almost two points for Cuba Cane to 5 for American Beet. Other strong stocks included United States Rubber at a gross gain of 5 points. with to 5 for Corn Products common and preferred. The turnover in rubber and corn issues was unus- ually large and their rise had it's ori- gin in reports of early developments favorable to shareholders.
 The progress of affairs across. the southern border was deemed helpful to the status of Mexican securities. these, including petroleums and Amer ican Smelting, scoring substantial gains. Central Leather was rempor- ar1ly buoyed by the unexpected dec laration of an extra two per cent. divi- dend and other stocks of the war and semi-war groups were variably high CT with paper issues and equipments.
 Shipping shares indicated a renew al of last months steady inquiry, At lantic, Gulf and West Indies gaining three points, with one to two for Ma rines. United States Steel occupied the usual place of leader duplicating its new maximum of 129. but yielding in the general reversal of the last hour.

BROWN MEETS COLGATE.
Providence Eleven Will Windup Sea-
 son Saturday.

Brown must take one more hurdle before finishing it's most successful season. and establishing itself as the best team in this section of the coun-s try. 5s Ned Robinson's boys are scheduled to play Larry Bankhart's strong Colgate eleven at Providence
 Thanksgiving day, and this game is likely tto give the Brunonians some trouble, though it is not likely that they will be defeated. The showing of Colgate against such teams as Illi- nois, Syracuse and Yale stamps the Hamilton team as one of the best of the year. Colgate defeated both Illi- nois and Syraclsse and outplayed the Elis, though defeated to g.
 If Brown can take this hurdle suc- cessfully the Providence eleven will hold the same position that Cornell occupied 8 year ago when the Itha- cans divided honorS wIth Pittsburgh, both going through the season with out defeat. Pittsburgh is repeating this year Brown is duplicating Cor nelPs record, but the Ithacans showed no such defence as Brown has shown this season, and CornelPs schedule hardly classed with that of Brown this year, the Rhode Islanders play ing Harvard, Yale. Rutgers and Col gate.# For the first time in years all the so -called big elevens of the east have been eliminated before the Yale Harvard game.
 Pollards right to an An-Amrican berth is secure, even if he should fail to gain a yard in the final game of the year with Colgate. His work in the games against Yale and Harvard have stamped him as one of the great est backfield players of years. He lacks the strength and driving power of Thorpe and Coy, but he classes above either in running through a broken field, making up in speed and lodging ability what he lacks in physique. If he improves with ex- perierce he is destined to stand out with the greatest players of all time before he completes his four years course Pollard has two more years to play at Brown.

Annapolis. Md, Nov 21.-The spec tators in New York next Saturday of the Army and Navy battle may have the benefit of numbered" players to aid them in following the plays.
 With the officials for the service classic agreed upon and the member ship of the two teams settled though not yet announced by coaches, the numbering of players is occupying no small attention here.
 The navy is willing to number it's players: West Point apparently is not. Whether the two .tget together" be- tween now and Saturday remains to be seen. The Navy coaches are still working on formation and signal drills and taking no chances of injuries of any sort.

 Fitchburg mer with regard to Duff felt the price too high the deal may fall through without anypody making an effort to prevent.
 The league will probably take the franchise and give Duffy the money for 1t. The league will then be in a po- sition to do as it wishes with the franchise.
 The way things look now the league will probably include five clubs of the former Eastern association and three of the former New England league. The three are Worcester, Lynn and Lawrence.
 On this end of the circuit Spring field, New Haven, Hartford, New Lon don and Bridgeport are all considered good baseball cities, better that al- most any of the New England league cities
 This end of the circuit is now in control, having a majority of the league with five clubs out of eight. There is no disposition on the part of any of these cities to retire. nor any disposition on the part of any of the others to make any club retire.
 Men of this end or the circuit except, of course, New London. Here the team Is bountifully supplied with cash by Morton F. Plant, nnd the team stands ready to sustain its share of any financial burden which the league might be called upon to pay.

 At present Harvard rules the fa- vorite for the Yale battle. but Yale's victory over Princeton. coupled with consideration of the many favorites this year defeated. has remoyed al- together the cocksureness of Harvard men.
 Naturally. it is in the approaching Harvard Yale contests that the bulk of football interests centres, and from present indications those favored ones who have secured tickets fort 76,- 900 seats of the Yale Bowl are to wit ness a game such as has not fea- tured Harvard Yale football relations in years.
 Yale started the 1916 season convinc- ed that 1916 was a Yale, year" In- eligibility, injuries to and illness of Yale players, however, interferred with Yale's plans and ambitions, and a most telling blow to Yale was inflict- ed when Coach Ropinson's great Brown eleven sent the Ellis to defeat. Yale, with the tenacity of it's sym boiic bull dog however, hung to the idea that 1916 was a Vale year, Yale entered the Princeton game Sat- urday with that idea in mind and Yale outplayed and won from Prince to.

ARREST MAN HERE EXPECTED
TO HELP CLEAR SENSATIONAL
N. Y. SWINDLE CASE
The police today made ready to re-
turn Charles Wax to New York,
where his story Of the "OHVer Os-
borne" case created a big sensation.
His arrest here yesterday uncovered
what the police think is a record
blackmail plot.
Wax, known as a con man and
rupe, firted with Rae Tanzer, a
pretty New York stenographer, in
October, 1914. Under the name of
Oliver Osborne, he made ardent love
to her and captured her affections so
completely that they made several
trips around the eastern states to-
gether as man and wife.
His love waned and he saw Miss
Tanner less and less. One day Miss
Tanner filed breach of promise suit
that startled the best society circles
Of Gotham. She named James w.
Osborne, an assistant district at
tOrney.
She told the police that Osborne
was the man who made the trips
around the country with her and
used the hotel registers to prove her
case. Osborne protested against the
story, but the best he could do was
to divide public opinion on his inno-
cence.
The arrest of Wax at 1O11 Irving
Park blvd, and his story about the
Osborne case will probably result in
the arrest of Rae Tanzer Immediate
Iy. Wax lived under the name OF
ROb't Burns at the Irving Park ad-
dress and worked for the Fair.
Although he says he had nothing
to do with the Osborne case, the po-
lice think he might have helped en-
gineer the attempt at a $4,000 swim
die. So they are taking him to New
York where he is better known.
