MALARIAL FEVER PREVAILED MUCH LESS IN THE SOUTH IN
 1913 THAN IN YEAR PREVIOUS
Public Health Service Makes Report On Investigation of Pre- vaence and Geographical Distribution of the Disease 120O0 Cases in Alabama From May to
 November Inclusive

Washington, April n.-Malarial levers prevailed to a much less extent in the south during 1913 than in the previous year, according to the public health serv- ice in report today on it's investigation of the prevalence and geographic dstribu- ton of the disease.
 The proportion is said to have been one to three. The states included Alabama. Arkansas, Mississippi Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina.
 To obtain statistics relative to malaria, postal cards were sent to physicians in all these states except North Carolina and the data received represented the re- ports of one-sixth of the physicians who received the cards.
 For Alabama. the reports for the six months of 1913 from May to November in- clusive gave a total of 1900 cases of malaria, Arkansas for August to Novem-

Der, inclusive 1S.52s South Carolina from August to November, inclusive 12,0o0 cases; Florida, for the same time, 9l90 cases, and Georgia from August to October, inclu- sive 9S25 cases.
 For the year Mississippi is reported to have had q ,S1l cases.
 The report points out that of the 91 ,06l cases of malarial fever reported, 27,3s4 cases or 3O0S per cent. nearly one-third were said to have occurred in children under 15 years of age.
 Discussing the economic aspect of malarial fever, the report states that the average loss of time per man employed in sawmill, on cotton plantations and like employment on account of the dis ease in many places is estimated at least two weeks in the season in June and No- vember. The disease is preventable if not entirely eliminated. according to the pub lie health service when a community de- sires to carry out intelligent prophylactic measures based on the principle that the anaophiels mosquito is the only transmit- ting agent of malaria from man to man.

BRAVES ID BE KEPT
 AT HIGH TENSION Stallings Says His Main Hope for Championship
 Is Pitchers

New York, September 30-In prepara- ton for the worlds series, the Boston Braves, winners of the National league pennant for 1914, are to be kept keyed up to the highest tension under which they have been playing for the last two months, according to Manager George Stalings, who arrived here last night with his team for five-game series with the New York Giants.
 The same team, that batted for the pennant will battle against the Giants in the series, the Boston manager stated.
 Manager Stallings said tha. his main hope for the series was his batters and pitching staff, and that if nothing hap pened to his pitchers between now and the end of next week, he would have no excuse if he lost to the Philadelphia players.
 Although he has not answered the chal. lenge of the Brooklyn Federal league team management to play series ot games for the championship of Brooklyn, President Charles H. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn National league club announced today that even though he would be will ing to play such a series, he could not get the sanction of the national commits sion.
 If the Brooklyn Federal league team were in organized baseball, President Eb- betts said he would be glad to accept the challenge

Coach Graves has shifted his squad good deal in the hopes of securing nor, effective combination. Miller, one of las years centers, is being played at guarC temporarily. Morton, an end of last fall is receiving a trial at halfback. as is Bates.
 The Crimson has three good ends in Love. Cargile and Cobb, the latter a new man. However, Cobb will be shifted to halfback if either Morton or Bates fall down. But at the present time the duo are playing splendid ball.
 Later in the season the varsity squad will be strengthened by Basil Burks, regular tackle of 1913; Izard, a sterling end man with the reserves in 1913 and Weir, a former halfback on the scrubs The trio are unable to play at the present time on account of faculty regulations but after they stand some examinations they will again be eligible for duty.
 Harold Bowton and Neal Neville, two old high school boys, are playing fairly good, but they hardly measure up to varsity standards.
 Coach Graves will not announce his line up for the Howard game, and it is pos sible that after the first half he will give many of his candidates a trial under fire.
 The game Saturday between the varsity and freshmen for time was an interest," ing affair, and gave the first team much needed stiff scrimmage. For time the freshmen held the varsity close and forced them to battle hard.
