APACHES TO HAVE
STRONG ELEVEN
More Than Thirty Men Will
Try for Team.

What promises 70 he the fastest club
team in the District this fall will shortly
begin work. Coach Dugan will have
about thirty men from which to pick
the Apache football team. and from the
showing made by the youngsters last
fall a rerord-brca king season is in store
for them.
'Dutch" Roslcy who put up such a
great game last Year. will not be with
the southeast boys this season, as he is
in New York attending college. but sew
erll able men have SiEniiied their inten-
ton to com" ont for the team. Bill Lus-
combc, the star quarter back, will again
he on the job behind the line. while the
other hacks will more than likely be
Thompson and America. The cOmplete
roster of the candidates will be ready in
Il few days. All teams desiring games
with the Apachrs are requested to ad-
dress their challenges care Of the Sport

want Stahl and McAleer will find this
out jus; as soon as he loOSs over the situ-
alton. Iris Speaker would seem to be the
logical leader.
The Washington Heralds story yester-
day morning to the effect that George
Mcbride would likely be the manager of
the Washington club next season struck
a popular chord.
Baseball fans at the park yesterday
afternoon were discussing the possibility
of McBridc's assuming the managership
and nine out of ten agreed that the
shOrtstop would be just the man for the
job. Every time Mcbride stepped up at
the bat he was greeted with round OF
applause.
As McAleer has considerable influence
with the local board of directors. and It
is known that Mcbride is his choice, the
shortstop stands better than an even
chance of being elected.
A special dispatch from Boston late
last night reads as follows: Boston. Sept
13.-James r. McAleer. manager of the
Washington American League club. will
arrive in Boston tomorrow from Youngs-
town. Ohio. with the money necessary
TO close the deal with President John I.
Taylor, whereby he will acquire half
interest I'm the Boston Americans Nc
Aleer has ALREADY posted $4,000 with the
Boston owner. President Johnson, of the
American League, will arrive in Boston
tomorrow to witness and sanction the
deal.
Taylor will give up the presidency of
the Boston club to McAleer. and Il Is be-
lieved that the latter will eventually Sc
cure a controlling interest in the Red Sox.

PREPARING FOR
MCNAMARA TRIAL.
One Hundred and twenty-five Men
SummOned---Jury to be
Selected Wednesday.

Los Angeles, Calf, Oct. 9.-The first
scene in the Mcnamara trial, which
is attracting worldwide attention, was
enacted here today when 125 prospec-
tive jurors we're summoned before
Judge Walter Bordwell for preliminary
examination as to their qualifications
to sit in judgement on the men charged
with dynamiting the Los Angeles
Times building Oct. l. 1910. The
real york of selecting the jurors will
begin Wednesday but today marked
the opening OF preliminary work for
the trial. Following is q condensed
statement OF the facts, q chronological
table OF developments and an expla-
natorY list OF the main figured:
Los Angeles. CAL. Oct. 9.-One had
married q wife," another's farm
needed attention; third was hard OF
hearing; another's general health
would suffer If confined as long; an
other would not make good juror.
These and numerous other excuses
we're offered today by the men drawn
on the first venire when Judge Bord-
well, OF the Superior Court, tegan the
preliminary examination OF possible
jurors in the trial OF John and James
McNamara on charge OF dynamiting
the Los Angeles Times.
1t is evident that few residents OF
this county want to serve. Some of the
excuses offered being laughsble.

MINISTER RESIGNS.
The Uprising In Portugal Still Causes
Grave Apprehension---Wh reab0Mts
of Manuel Unknown.

Lisbon, Oct. 9.-War Minister Cas-
tro has resigned as a consequence OF
the bitter criticism directed against him
for the manner in which he has dealt
with the Royalist uprising i'll the north.
Premier Chagas today asserted that
the uprising had been completely sup
pressed, but reports from Royalist
sources insist that the Monarchists
have complete control OF the north.
There is considerable speculation as
to the whereabouts of Manuel. That
the government is far from possessing
the confidence it affects, is shown by
the determination OF Premier Chagas
to summon an extraordinary session OF
Parliament to consider special meas
ures for dealing with the situation.
Oporto, Oct. 9.-With Ill royallst
prisoners on board, the warships Vasco
da Cana and St. Gabriel, sailed from
Lisbon today. The prisoners had beel
brought here from the north under
military guard. Captain Couceiro, the
royalist commander, is reported to be
falling back towards the frontier, ane
it is believed here that the uprising i
practically over.

TURKEY Y5EFE0RTS
TOWARD PEACE.
Turkish Fleet Reported Destroyed.
Slavery Abolished in Tripoli---A
Blo0dleSS War.

Naples, Oct. 9.--Rumor has once
more annihilated the Turkish fleet.
This time it is reported to have been
sent to the bottom with all hands of
Rhodes People here are beginning
to treat the daily reports Of great
naval engagements as joke, the
| Turkish fleet having been reported
sunk in at least half a dozen places,
and bets are being made as to the
whereabouts of its next appearance
~Constantinople, Oct. 9.-The Turk
ish government is renewing its effort:
for peace. Despairing of securing in'
tervention by any OF the great power:
the Sultan S advisers are endeavoring
to arrange some terms by which Italy's
claims may be- satisfied while saving
the Sultan's face 10 the Mohammedan
world.
The people remain absolutely apa-
thetic except for small section
of the Young Turk party who
continue to urge war, but have thus
ar met with little encouragement.
Rome, Oct.9.-Kiug Victor arrived in
Rome today from Pisa aud Immediately
took special train for Naples where
be will review the military expedition
for Tripoli. An official dispatch from
Constantinople says the entire Turkish
feet is in the Bosphorus, with furnaces
drawn, and that it is evidently the in
teniion OF the goyernmvnt not to at
tempt to use the ships.
Tripoli, Oct. ga proclamation
abolishing slavery was issued here to-
day by Admiral Borea d'Olno, the pro-
visional Italian governor. The town
remains very quiet and the people ap-
pear but little interested in the change
of government.
New York, Oct. y.-The number of
casualties in the great war between Italy
and Turkey has resolved itself today into
the accidental killing Of two men and
woman during the furious lombard
ment OF Tripoli.
During the first days OF the war
every capital in Europe teemed with
c!rcumstantial reports OF fighting by
land and sea, but now that the cable
between Tripoli and Malta has been
reopened these reports have been shown
to be considerably exaggerated, and, in
some instances, manufactured out OF
whole cloth.
The usual report reached here today
OF Turkish torpedo boats being sunk i'll
the Adriatic, with the variation OF
sensational rumor that the Turks had
sunk an Austrian ship. Little credence
is placed here in either report.
Dispatches from Malta state that ad.
vices received there from Tripoli say
the town was practically unharmed by
the bombardment and that the Italian
gunners fired so wildly that most OF
their shots passed over the forts and
buried themselves harmlessly in the
sand. The witnesses assert that the
only casualties were three people killed
while watching the bombardment.
The fishermen add that the only Turks
who had any desire to fight were few
artilleryman who had never fired the
ancient guns in the forts and wanted to
do so out OF curiosity.
