MAJORS TRYING TO PURCHASE
 THREE STARS OF BARON TEAM
tNAXWELL, TROUGH AND FL k LOTT MAY FIGURE IN BIG [ DEALS-REDS WANT PHELAN [ NOW-JOHNSTON'S CHANGE

Ia Bert Maxwell is destined to receive another trial in the big show. Rick Woodward owner of the Baron club, brought back the information from the east.
 And "Rowdy" Elliott is going up again just as certain as two and two are four It is a dead level cinch lthat Cincinnati will execute it's option on Arthur Phelan. As matter of fact, Clark Griffith would give the choice idigit of his right hand for the third lbaseman this very moment, for it Is known that Third Baseman Grant is mot giving good service to the manager pf the Reds.
 And it is equally as certain that Bill Trough is going up, and 1t is not inn probable that Chicago and Philadelphia will put through their options on Jim mic Johnston and Clyde McBride. | So it is seen that the Barons stand an excellent chance of losing several Of their best men before the begin 1ssins of Sf1e drafting season.
 l. Several Want Maxwell
 Several clubs are in the mark ets for Maxwell. and it Is certainty that he will be sold for handsome figure. 1t is believed that the New York Giants will close a deal for him in the near future New York has also spoken for Trough, but Philadelphia seems to have the right of way on the big pitcher 5 services The Philadelphia Nationals and the Detroit Americans are anx- 1ous to land "Rowdy" Elliott, and Tn the near future, and thereby the Bar ons might obtain a good flinger-if Cincinnati and Boston will only waive" their rights.
 Rick Woodward stated that Clark Griffith when seen in the east, made it plain that he would take Phelan back to the Reds. As matter of fact, the manager told MT. Woodward that he would like to get him at the pres ent time for the purpose of playing him on third In the place of Grant While Grant, who was secured by Gin cinnati from the Phillies, in that fa- nous deal of last fall, is an excellent fielder. it is reported that he Is dis satisfied with Cincinnati and would not be loathe to get his release. The hope
  cinnati might overlook another good bet seems destined to be blasted.
 Few Weeks Will Tell
 While nothing is heard directly from Chicago in reference to Jimmy John stone it Is generally believed that Comiskey will order him to return to the Windy City at the conclusion of the Southern league season. Comiskey has always been fond of Johnston and 1t is believed that he will give the youngster another trial. On account of the hitting slump of Mcbride it is possible that Philadelphia will not ex- ercise it's option on him. Although, in case his hitting is boosted within the next month, he may yet receive a major league try-out.
 This is the status of affairs at the present time. It is learned that big league scouts will watch these Barons for the next few weeks, and that in case their good work continues they will certainly go north at the conclu- sion of the little race which Is occupy ing the attention of the southern pub lie at the present moment

Chattanooga News: Eddie Speer ceased the joyous levity of the Lookouts with an iron hand yesterday afternoon after he replaced Wagner; but then we didn't really need any additional runs or the result might have been different. The Tiger and ex-Bison showed signs of effectiveness but 1t was apparently due bumps for Speer whenever he has men on bumps for Speer whenever heh as men on the bases.
 Atlanta Journal: According to a dis patch received from Chicago the Chicago Cubs will exercise their option on Heinie Zimmerman at the close of the Southern league season, giving the fieet-footed out fielder a chance to make good in the ma jors.
 Zimmy is hard working player, a good hitter and excellent base runner and with a short stap under the peerless leader should develop into a real star. The Chicago club secured an option on his services for next season in the deal which brought Foxen to Atlanta.

BORDWELL WORKS ON M 'NAMARA CASE Clarence DarrOW Visits the Prisoners in Their Cells MIMI ANIG AL TALKS Predicts Big Surprise Before Case Is Ended-Judge Will Rule To-
 Gay on Talesmen's Eligibility.
 Will Appeal Case
M'M A MIG AL TALK s

Los Angeles, Cal. October 22.--With the exception of Judge Walter Bordwell, who read and reread q tangled record. no movement was made today by any of the principal figures in the case of James E. McNamara on trial for murder, result ing from the Times explosion.
 Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for the defense visited the McNamaras in their cell.
 Darrow said his visit was purely one of courtesy.
 At tomorrow's session it is expected Judge Bordwell will rule on the three talesmen under challenge for cause, George w. Mckee for prejudice against labor unions; F, c. Robinson and A. R Afe rhtosh for scruples against capital pun ishment.
 Immediately the talesn1en are disposed Of the jury box will be filled again. If is half empty now The district attorney g staff is busy alligning witnesses expect ed to corroborate the alleged confession of Ortie McNanigal. admitted to be the strongest card of the prosecution.
 McNanigal in his cell talked freely and confidently about his part in the case.
 Yes, there will be more than one sur prise before this case is over" said Me Naniga
 The question was put to him as why he had made the reported confession.
 ''Well,' he said with a drawl. "a fel- low knows when he is caught. and there was nothing for me to do. l wanted to be with my wife and baby again.
 But your wife is now suing your for diVorce,' was suggested
 ''Pm sorry; I love my wife and child, but I think I shall be with them again some time; they have caught me and ] am going to make a clean breast of the whole matter"
 Toward the McNamaras McAanigal ex- hibited no bitterness. Reports have been wrong about James R." he said in this connection He's no structural iron worker, but a typhographical man. He's lot more ingenious too, than he looks"
 Though relying to great extent on Me Manigal's expected testimony the state has taken the attitude that its testimony is strong enough to get conviction without McManigal
 This case" MT. Darrow said, If lost nere, will be carried higher and higher, ultimately reaching the United States supreme court

TWOENGAGEMENTS WITH ZAPAT|STAS Government Unable to Cap-
 ture Rebel Leader BRIDGES ARE BURNED Federal Troops Are Being Sent to POnoitlan to Quell Indian Re-
 volt-Are Fine Points of
 InsurrectiOn
ARE BURNED

Mexico City. October 22.-Two bridges blown out on the lnter-Oceanc railroad, one station building burned and two small battles with federal troops is the substance of the record the government will have today's campaign against the Zapatistas in the south. The ap- parent inability of the government to capture Emiliano Zapata, or to put down his insurrection leads to the belief that the pacification of the south will remain for Francisco l. Madero. Jr., when he assumes the presidency next month.
 In addition to the Zaparata problem the new executive must also deal with em- barrassing situations in various parts of tho republic. Though the country nom insily is at peace and he was chosen for the presidency with no opposition yet it Is a fact that there are five points of insurrection. The provisional gov ernment may auell a portion of these in the few intervening days left or they may dwindle away without the use of the army, but there is every indication that fair part of the task will fall to Madero.
 The bridge destroying and burning ex- petition took place near the line be- tween the states of Morelos and Mexico. The station burned was that at Nepantla. The larger of the two bridges destroyed was 150 feet long.
 A government official reporting the in- cident estimates the number of Zapatistas engaged at 800.
 A train load of troops was sent to tho raided district from Cuacuatla. The skirmishes were at Teticatlica and San Vicente in the state of Morelos.
 The rebels were defeated as they have been in the eight or ten clashes they have had within week with the govern- ment troops, but in none of these encoun-
