PHILLIPS DUE FOR
 A BIG, SHAkEUP.
Already Several Players Have Failed
 to Receive 1918 Contracts.

That the Phillies will undergo a revolutionary shakeup befce the open ing of next season is further reported. and it is stated in Philadelphia that contracts for 1918 were not sent to Pitcher Jim Lavender, Substitute In- fielder Dugey and Outfelders Frank Schulte, Claude Cooper or Bud Weiser.
 Already Alexander. Killifer and Pas- kert have been traded to the Cubs, and Pitcher Eppa Rixey has been commissioned lieutenant in the gas and flame brigade. On top. of that it is announced in Philadelphia that if the young outfielders of the PhiIlies come through Whitted will succeed Luderus at first base, while the veter- an slugser Cactus Cravath will be carried only for pinch hitting and utility purposes. Johnny Evers was notified at the end of the season that his contract would not be renewed Before the end of last season the vet eran third baseman, Robbie Byrne. was given his walking pspers
 |. When it is recalled that Philadelphia won the National pennant in 1915 and finished second in 1916 and 1917. the Philadelphia shakeup is all the more remarkable. A big winter shakeup ir chronic second division teams is by no means uncommon, but for a team which has not finished lower than sec ond in three seasons the Philadelphia upheaval only has one pafallel-the dismantling of the Athletics after their defeat in the 1914 worlds series.

o'connor to Coach Yankees.

Paddy O'Connor, former Pirate and St. Louis Cardinal catcher. has been engaged as coach for the Yankee pitchers by Miller Higgins, the new director of the team. O'Connor has sent his signed contract to Business Manager Sparrow Higgins decided not to re1Sew the contract with old Duke Farrell, former coach of the Yankees, when Hub gins was appoint ed Donovan's successor. The old Iron Duke sewers connections with the club for the second time He coached the club under Stallings and Chase and looked after the welfare of the Yankee pitchers throughout the three year reign of Donovan,
 O'Connor's appointment came en- tirely unsolicited and proved a well come surprise to the New England catcher. Paddy retired from baseball after the end of the 1916 season to go into the liquor business in Springfield Mass. He had given up thoughts of baseball until Huggins invited him to join the Yankees. Higgins picked him in preference to hal ia dozen veteran catchers who have applied for the position.
 Huggins offered o'Connor a position on the Yankee team despite the fact that in 1915 O'Connor jumped the Cardinals, then managed by little Mil. ] Ter, to throw his lot with the Pitts burgh Federals. However, during his one year in St. Louis, 1914, O'Connol impressed Higgins to such an extent that he was selected from the entire field of available former major league | players. There also may have been { bit of superstition to it. In 1913 ths | Cardinals were last. l O'Connor's last professional engage 1 ment was with the Hartford club O the old Colonial league. "'

GREED FOR GOLD

Greed for coin has wrecked many human ships. It is a dangerous shoal fin the sea of life Few can withstand its lure. There is none so susceptible 10 It's magnet as the professional box CT and his willy manager. To grab a purse dangling before their eyes blinds them to all principle.

New York boxer on the side lines until he makes good their loss An offer of a larger purse nearer home doubtless kept the Gotham welterweight away from the Pennsylvania mining town. The greed for coin had its innings and won. Men of that stripe ruined box ing in New York. They should not be allowed to dump their scurvy meth ods on Pennsylvania
 Philadelphia can pride itself on two boxers who are virtually youngsters who possess championship ability. Joe Tuber. a fiy-weight. and Lew Terdler a blossoming lightweight. Neither as yet possesses the strength, stamina experience or hitting powers sufficient , to cope with the title holders of his respective class and should he care fully nursed.

 The largest herd of buffalo in the world is now owned by Canada.
 They dorm picturesque group as they roam over the new national re- serve set apart for them near Vain wright, a city that has sprung up 125 miles east of Edmonton, Alberta.
 Canadians recognized the need of action if the bison were to be preserv- ed, and before Americans realized it they had purchased the entire herd of 500 from Michael Pablo, of Montana, who had protected them on his ranch near .Ravalli.
 History of the Herd
 The history of this herd, now the largest in the world, dates back to 1873, when Pend o'Reille Indian cap- tured four little bison calves-two bulls and two heifers-by cutting them out of a stampeded herd on the Flat head reservation in Montana.
 The Indian in question gave them to the Mission of St. Ignatius, where they were kept as pets and became as domesticated as ordinary cattle. When the heifers were four years old each had a calf. From that time on they gradually increased in number, until, ill 1884, there were 13 head, and, finding the care of them too great a tax, the Mission decided to sell them. Ten head were bought for $250 apiece l by Pablo, who was shrewd enough to see that specimens of what was even

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
 EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance
 Often Rejected

An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Compan- les, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kid ney trouble is so common to the Amer ican people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Judging from reports from drug rists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kimers Swamp Root is soon realized. IL stands the highest for its remarka- ble record of success.
 We find that Swamp Root is strict ly an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such remedy to give 1t a trial. It is on sale z- all drug stores in bottles of two sizes medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N T., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Norwich Bul- letin.

YALE-HARVARD RACE
 MAY BE RoWED ON THAMES.
Oarsmen Are Making Every Effort to Have Big Event Staged This Season.

With Yale and Harvard the only re- maining larger institutions in the country whose sports are on an fin formaP' basis, Eli undergraduates are today awaiting announcement of re- turn to intercollegiate competition with light hearts. That such an announce. ment is only a matter of a few days, and that Yale will return to the fold of varsity sports as gracefully as pos sfble, is conceded at the big university.
 It was announced last night that practice for the freshman and univer- sity R. o. T. c. hockey teams will be held during the present week in the
 St. Nicholas rink in New York. The
 game with the Harvard freshman team
 will take place after the vacation at
 Cambridge, in all probability on Feb.
 16. The next game will be with the
 Taft school shortly after the Harvard
 game. Princeton has not yet replied to the request for a game, and the remainder of the schedule is not defi- mite.
 Three service swimming leagues,
 comprising four company and battery teams, have not been organized by the swimming management at Yale. The first and second teams of each
 league will contest for the champion ship, and final games to determine the interleague champion will be held dur | ing one of the big meets of the year The call has already been sounded | for candidates for the track team and l 1t looks as if a good sized squad will enter the competition for place.
 i Yale oarsmen are doing much in-
 door training to be in readiness when i the big drive begins in the spring Every effort is being made to arrange l the annual regatta with Harvard at New London this summer. That the old time crowds would take in the | event is certain.

hear sharp cracks in the air about me. These were caused by passing rife bullets. Frequently, to my right and left, little spurts of dirt would rise into the air. and ricochet bullet $ would whine on it's way, if a Tommy should see one of these little spurts in front of him, he would tell the nurse about it later. The crossing Of
 No Mans Land remains a blank to me.
 Men on my right and left would
 stumble and fall. Some would try to get up, While others remained
 huddled and motionless. Then smashed
 up barbed wire came into view and
 seemed carried on a tide to the rear.
 Suddenly, in front of me loomed a
 bashed in trench about four feet wide.
 Queer looking forms like mud turtles
 were scrambling up its wall. One of
 these forms seemed to slip and .theR
 rolled to the bottom of the trench.
 leaped across this intervening space.
 The man to my left seemed to pause in mid-air then pitched head down into the German trench. I laughed out loud in my delirium. Upon alight- ing on the other side of the trench 1 came to with a sudden jolt. Right in front of me loomed a giant form with a rifle which looked about ten feet i long, on the end of which seemed seven bayonets. These flashed in the air in front of me. Then through my I mind flashed the admonition of our | bayonet instructor back in Eighty.
 He had said, whenever you ge tin a
 charge and run your bayonet up to l the hilt into a German, the Fritz will
 fall. Perhaps your rifiea will be
 wrenched from your grasp Do not
 waste time if the bayonet is fouled 1 in his equipment by. putting your l foot on his stomach and tugging at I the rifle to extricate the bayonet- Sim ply press the trigger and the bullet | will free it." In. my present situation
 this was fine logic, but for the life of me I could not remember how he had told me to get my bayonet into the German. To me, this was the paramount issue. I closed my eyes, from my hands. must have gotten the German because he had dfsap-
 peared. About twenty feet to my left
 front was a huge Prussian nearly six
 feet four inches in height, fine speci-
 men of physical manhood. The bayo- net from his rife was missing but he clutched the barrel in both hands and was swinging the butt around his head. I could almost hear the swish :, lof the butt passing through the air Three little Tommies were engaged , with him. They looked like pignies ; alongside of the Prussian. The Tom my on the left was gradually circline I to the rear of his opponent. It was . funny sight to see them duck the :. swinging butt and try to jab him al , the same time. The Tommy nearest
 me received the butt of the, Germans $ rifle in a smashing blow below the 2 right temple. It smashed his head n like an eggshen. He pitched forward ' on his side and convulsive shuddel l ran through his body. Meanwhile
 the other Tommy had gained the real
 of the Prussian. Suddenly about foul V i inches of bayonet protruded from thu ', throat of the Prussian soldier, wht 4 staggered forward and fell I vii r never forget the look of blank aston d ishment that came over his face. ! Il To Be Continued Tomorrow.
