Crash0es Whale
 Walnuts In Tilt
George Bentz With Nine Out
 of II Goals Makes It a Runaway Game

Cag1ng nlne or the Il goals scored by his team, George Bentz, second rush of the Crashoes, proved to be the whole show in the opening game of the City Polo League at the Casino last night when the Crashoes defeat ed the Walnuts, Il to 3. Bentz made the goals so rapidly that it was a1- most job to keep tabs on his shots and drives. Kenny, the Walnut goal tender, was simply at-the mercy of the CraSho rusher.
 Working with Bentz were Barrett and Lynch, but these men seemed to be handicapped because the ball would not roll for them and as every thing was breaking to the queen s taste for George Bentz, the red pill was offered to him with the result that he failed at goal a very few times.
 The Walnuts worked splendidly, but the ball refused 10 roll for them and they could not get the goals. Of the three tallies made by the Wal nuts, Fred Bentz, brother of scored one.
 A meeting of the City League man agers will be held at the Casino Sun day afternoon at o'clock when sev- eral matters pertaining to the league will be taken up. The Sunday after noon game will be between the Fed erals and the Bengals. The latter is g. new team but has agreed to enter the league race. The summary of last nights game follows:

DO NOT FIGURE ON
CARRYING IDAHO
REPORT THAT REPUBLICANS
HEADQUARTERS DOES NOT
CLAIM IDAHO SENATOR.

Much comment has been awakened
in Idaho by the announcement from
Marion, Ohio, home of Senator Hard
ing, that the republicans expect to
gan six seats in the next United
States senate and gives the list of
states from which these gains are
expected. Idaho is not in the list. AS
Harding is expected to carry idaho
by big majority the omission of
this state from the list in which re-
publican senators are expected to be
electd this fall, is regarded as ''pe-
culiar"
Idaho Next Mentioned
The statement from Marion, Ohio,
referred to, reads as follows:
reports received by Senator War
rem G. Harding from Republican
field agents in various parts of the
country led to the confident predic-
tion at his headquarters today that
the narrow Republican majority of
two in the senate will be increased in
November by at last six, possibly
more.
s'The Republicans are fairly conf
dent of gaining more than this num-
Der, but six are almost assured, ac-
cording to reports reaching Harding
headquarters. States in which the
Republicans expect to pick up these
new senaorial votes were named as
follows: Colorado, Kentucky, Mary
land, California, Arizona and Neva-
da"
"In addition to the states in which
gains sare expected, the Republicans
also are confident of holding what
they already have, although in sever
al states the races are admittedly
very close"
