HAYS CLAIMS S7s ELECTORAL
 VOTES FOR SENATOR HARDING

Chicago. Oct 17.-Senator Harding is assured of 37S electoral votes and prob ably will receive at least 395. Will Hays, chairman of the republican national com mittee. told newspapermen today in an informal talk over reports now being re ceived at republican headquarters here from which a formal forecast of the presidential election will be made some time this weak.
 After spending the day talking by tel ephone to campaign managers gn every western state. MT. Hays said he was convinced that Senator Harding would carry every northern state and every western state and had a good chance in Tennessee, Oklahoma and other border states"
 Western states which heretofore have been chased as doubtful. now definitely are republican, he said. In the senatorial races Mir. Hays pre- dicted that the republicans would hold everything they now have and would gain by carrying Maryland. South Dakota, Kentucky, Colorado. California, Nevaua. Arizona and Oregon. Every republican senator running for reelection Is certain of voctory, he said.
 In a formal statement Issued earlier m the day. Mir. Hayes declired that the forward march to republican victory
 
 'The reason" said the statement. ''ls summed up in two words-'America first That means more than the protection of constitutional functions against the house theft of authority at home. It means that the pressing domestic problems Of America first are in the public mind anr that these domestic problems are again to have progressive and eonstruc- tive and effective attention at Washing ton.
 We must and shall do our whole duty by the worlds peace-with an eye to America first But the electorate refuses to forget that the Wilson league-a con tract for international war parading in the clothes of peace-is only one of a score of utter failures and betrayals which November's solemn referendum must settle. IL refuses to keep its eyes rivited on Europe. It refuses to ignore the driving domestic problems. close to every hearthstone. before which the dem ocratic party has stood impotent and in confessed bankruptcy.
 Tt is thinking of America first and all the accumulated work In Washington which cannot much longer be denied ef- ! fective attention if America first Is to last"

dence, including a few leaguerS.
 The All Stars infield was perhaps the best defensive outfit that ever ap- peared at Jewett City, Gray. at first, was a tower of strength in helping out the rest of the infield on bad throws of quick plays.
 Muratto, at second, and Forsyth of the Milwaukee American association team were some combination about the keystone sack.
 Roy Rock, in his palmiest days, never looked better than he did at third base in this game. He robbed the locals of several hits with his one hand stabs and perfect throwing.
 Gearin of the Milwaukee American association had big day both in the field and at the bat.
 The home clubs defense was not as steady as usual, but pulled together at the critical stages.
 The visitors scored first slipping one across in the third, and it looked as if this would be all, the way both pitchers were going. Ashland tied it up in the sixth when Benjamin singled and was advanced to second by Le Claire, after McBeth flied out Chase doubled to left, scoring Benjamin
 Ashland took the lead in the seventh when Hamel scored on Frechettes single.
 Both clubs went out in order in the eighth but in the ninth, with two out, Curran singled. scoring Gilmore. From then on it looked like Ashland's $ game as they had several good oppor- tuniues to score In the twelfth, Li- berty tripled with one down, but was out at the plate trying to score on Hamers fly to left. With darkness falling fast, Luke Ri- i ley called the game with the score 2-2 in the 14th inning. The general opinion prevailed that the fans surely had seen just what had been promised, the best game ever. The score:

STONINGTON DOWNS ACADEMY ELEVEN

After having outplayed Stonington High for two periUds and looking like a sure winner, N. F. A suddenly went dead in the third quarter. allowing the visitors to persuade the ball to the 25 yard line. from which Koelb, the long, field goal giving his team a to vic lean Stonington tackle, shot a pretty tory. All this happened Saturday af ternoon on the local campus before the eyes of 300 or so expectant specta- tOrA
 For two periods these spectators watched the melie which was being waged almost entirely on Stonington territory, with confident smiles. simply waiting for the crash. And the crash came. but not exactly the kind of crash the spectators expected, and their smiles vanished Stonington on her 70 yard line pulled the old shopworn doubhs pass, Miller unmolested. taking the ball around left end for thirty yards. Ten more yards they scraped but found it tough going. N. F. A. was holding them.
 At this point Koelb, he of length and leanness. stepped back and shot the ball over. squarely between the posts. This same young man spratned his ankle immediately after the game in descending a flight of stair. Now, how much nicer 1t would have been had he thought of the stairs before the game Instead of after. The management hould see that those stairs are used more frequently hereafter by the visit ing teams.
 An error of judgment robbed the Academy Of a fair chance to score. It was near the end of the second quar- far Nnwvrrfrh tvorlyad ifs ou straight football to the Stonington 12 yard line. In two pluuges the ball was advanced a few yards. Then, with two downs still left and a fair chance of Boynton or Reid putting the ball over, Capt Whitney essayed a drop kick from a 695 degrees angle.
 With the exception of the third quarter the team showed improvement and though somewhat peeyed over the defeat. Coach Mckay Is very optimis tic concerning the future.
 The Academy backfield played well but stin needs brushing up on inter ference. The line played harder than in any game heretofore but they still have a lot better stuff in them than they have yet shown. Sage. at center and Jackie Young, the spectacular and dependable left end, furnished nine tenths of the fight on the line.
 However. this defeat may be the means of setting the boys right ant we look for a victory Tuesday over Westerly High, in spite of the dope Bulkeley has beaten Stonington twice this fall once by a score of 25-0, anC Westerly disposed of Bulkeley, 70 Accordingly. Westerly should vii over the Academy by something like DO to a little less than nothing. BuI We predict a big upset Tuesdays game will be well worth seeing.
 There will be no practice this after noon. 1t being Nutting day. On thi. day all the students sally forth into the woods and gather nuts. Owing tC the scarcity of nuts this year they wil gather anything tha's handy.
