there is no doubt that place will be
decided on this week.
Foot ball is the topic most dsusse1
by the club. Such old-timers as
Kauth, Bedur, Cassidy, Gallagher,
Russell, Nelan, Murphy, Lantz, Young,
McBurney, Vogt, Hibbs and Schultz
have announced that they will be in
the game and team will be organized
as soon as the club has secured roms
in which to locate. Milo Williams
was elected manager of the foot ball
team and captain will be elected
soon.
THE POSTPONED GAME.
Today's ball game prospects show
for the first time in Akron, for this
season, ut least, a game postponed at
the last minute The local baseball
teams have been in the habit of acting
in good faith most of the time this
year and the people have grown to re
ly on their announcement of games.
The inability of n part of the Kirk
wood team to attend this game is the
cause of the postponement of today's
struggle with Kent. There are those
who are nncharitable enough to think
and say that it is just as well for the
home team that the postponement has
been effected. The last game between
these two teams was not in the nature
of pleasant surprise for the rooters
for Kirkwood and ii Is probable that
today's effort would only have been an
average booster" for the Portage
county boys.

REPORT on CALDAS'S SERUM.
BRAZILIAN PHYSICIANS WORK DIsCREDIT-
ED BY YELLOW FEVER BOARD.

Havana, Sept. 6.-Acting Governor General
Scott has received the report of the yellow fever
board presided by Major Havard chief
surgeon in Cuba, which was appointed a spe-
cial commission TO investigate the Caldas serum.
The conclusions are:
First-That Or, Cadas has kept his alleged
discovery from the study of other scientists.
Second-That the claim made by Or. Caldss
that the pathogenc agent OF yellow fever is
found only IN the intestinal tract is in direct
opposition 10 the evidence furnished by the mos
quito inoculations and direct blood inoculatons
made by the board presided over by Surgeon
Major Reed.
Third-That the attempt made by DIR. Caldas
to immunize individual against yellow fever
by means OF the vaccine prepared by him has
failed.
The commission therefore. recommends that
further experiments with the vaccine serum OF
DR. Caldas be discontinued
DR.. Caldas said that the man who was inocu-
lated by him with the serum and subse-
quently bitten by mosquito did not have yell
low fever, but suffered from putrd fever caused
by the bite of the mosquito. but numbers of
other physicians who the case, In addition
to the members of the commission, all agreed
that the patient had yellow fever.

DR.. James Carroll and DR.. Reed. II Is alto

the direction of this board sixteen cases were

Champions of the board claim that the almost
unprecedented scarcity of yellow fever here is
due directly to the enforcement of measures re-
sulting from the Investigations made by the
board.
All OF the recent yellow fever cases-seven al
together-were infected by Cuban physicians OF
high standing. Three of the patients died. Six
of these cases. said a physician. were nocu-
