 AS it was, the man who started the shooting got the worst of it and both men are in Bridgeport hospital today, where they are resting comfortably, their hurts being simply flesh wounds.
 A large crowd of persons who wit messed the fray congratulated Officer Glennon on bringing the escaping as- sassin to a halt in the manner in which he did

 Fight Winner Of
 WenS-AttelI Bout
Ad Wolgast Would Also Like Another Bout With Knock
 out Brown

Packey Mcfarland allows that he would like mighty we'll to try conclu- sions with the winner of Wednesday nights bout at Madison Square Gar den between Matt Wells and Able At tell. Curiously enough, both Abra- ham and Matthew entertain similar notions about the Chicagoan. It will be easy to get them together.
 At first blush one might think At tell was loose in the head to box such big lads as the English champion or Packey, himself being as simon-prlre featherweight as we have. But big fellows are AtteIl's speciality. He is one young man who causes the dope sters to toss figures out of the win dow. Able is such a master boxer that fifteen pounds disadvantage in weight bothers him not at aH-wit- ness bouts with Bat Nelson, Freddie Welsh and Tommy Murphy.
 Wells will have to show his whole bag of tricks to make any headway with Attell. And in the operation New Workers will see about the best boxing bout that could be arranged between present day swatsmiths. Tom Jones, mentor of Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion, will arrive in New York this morning. Tommy $ reason for peeking his head in the door is to look over the situation re- garding another joust between his boy and Knockout Brown.
 Jones is stuck on holding a fight between the youngsters in Milwaukee. There was a $2s0OO sale for Ad and Packey before the sheriff murmured ''Raus." According to Morgan, the situation will soon be cleared up in the town that is famous for furnish ing the brew, and opponents of the flstic art will be allowed to draw down shekelS despite rambunctiOus sheriffs
 | Jones thinks that Wolgast is enti- tied to s25,000 for a battle. Morgan hopped in the air at this request and demanded to know where Jones thought New Workers got their money. Morgan will guarantee Wolgast $12,- 900 and S,000 expenses. Morgan says there is little possibility of Wolgast and Mcfarland meeting in the near future. The champ has scrap with Freddie Welsh dated for November, and the time is too short to think of
 battling Patrick.

Middletown, N. Y., Sept. 1S-Arter making good progress on the hrst oay of his attempt to fly from the Allan tic to the Pacific, Aviator c. P.

The plane dou- bled and Rodgers and his machine tumbled into the branches. Falling. Rodgers managed to throw himself clear of the engine but was pinned down by the planes of the machine, injuring his ankle. When this wound was dressed, Rodgers immediately be- gan the rebuilding of the machine with extra parts carried for such an emergency and declared the accident would prove but a slight delay.

 There was a lot of satisfaction in the Cubs but not complete revenge on their double barrelled shut out of the Dodgers, yesterday. The satisfaction comes in the lessened lead of the Giants but the Cubs aren't square with the rubberplant boys yet.

Largest Harvard ,. Squad In Years
Capt. Fisher Will Have Hard Work Finding Good Material For Tackles

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 1s.-When Capt R. T. Fisher starts Harvard s football season this afternoon with the initial practice on Soldiers Field a squad of record size is expected to report to the Crimson leader. De spite the fact that practice begins much later than last season and that there has been no general prellm1- nary conditioning of the squad, every man reported is understood to be In shape to take up without delay the gruelling work of the gridiron.
 Harvard will have her main prop lem to face in the 1ine.g At the ends there appear to be but three players who have the call over the others Of the squad, Rogers, Smith and Felton. Rogers played on the 1909 eleven, Smith has been playing varsity pail for two seasons, and Felton is by far the best punter on the entire squad.
 The two vacant tackles may be the weak points of the team. Gardiner, Storer and Howard, all of the present Sophomore class, appear to be the most probable choice at present.
 Capt. Fisher will play at right guard and Keays, Hitchcock and Ma guire will contest for left guard. Huntington and Storer are the only known candidates for centre.
 Iff the back-field material the situation looks the rosiest, as all three of the veteran quarterbacks of year ago are le-Wigglesworth, Por- ter and Gardner. Morrison and Wen dell will probably alternate at full back.
 As there is a wealth of material for halfbacks Campbell and Ted Frothingham will have to fight for their positions this season. Graustein Tom Buckingham, Sortwen and Rey- holds will be among those to make things interesting for them.
 There will be an efficient corps Of assistants to aid Coach Haughton. The Wilmington brothers, Paul and Lathrop will help with the linemen, as will Harry Kersberg, 'O6, and will be in charge of Leo Leary, 'O5, while Hamilton Corbett, II, and Charlie Daily. '01, will develop the hack field
