Nv the Associated Pres,

nv the Associated Pres
Herbert Hoover is ready to rest q
while after week OF grinding work
ut his general headquarters here,
He inaugurates program of rec
reation today by visiting Grifflth sta
dunn to see Babe Ruth and the other
New York Yankees struggle against the
washington club in their desperate
effort to retain first place in the Ameri-
can pennant race.
Tomorrow the Republican presidential
candidate will attend church and spend
the remainder Of the day quietly al
home save for an automobile drive In
the afternoon. He has no engagements
for Labor day but probably will put In
few hours at his off1ce cleaning up a
week end accumulation OF mail.
Plans Fishing Trip.
About the middle OF next week Hoover
plans to leave on fishing trip OF sew
eral days In Chesapeake Bay, angling
for fish that abound off the mouth OF
the Potomac River He will be accom-
panied on this trip by only few per-
Sonal friends,
A real base ball fan. the Republican
standard bearer frequently attended
base ball games here during his seven
years as Commerce Secretary, and with
his desk clear he avails himself of
an opportunity to see one game in a
highly important series in the American
League.
While he will sit In box in the main
grandstand. he will MUNICH peanuts
along with most of the other fans. but
he probably will show less partisanship
than the thousands around him. His
love OF peanuts Is second only to his
love of base ball and ne usually makes
at least two calls on a vender during
The regulation time of play.
II was announced from Griffith Sta
dunn yesterday that box reservations
had been made for party OF 10.
Hoover will find fishing from boat
on the billowing swells OF the Chesa
peake quite different from angling ir
the Whirling streams OF his beloved
California but the experience will be nr
new one TO him as he frequently has
f1shed off the Potomac He will use q
rod but some of those who will accom-.
pany him will be less orthodox and viii
revert to the old hand line style II They
can ind a corner behind the boat cabin
sheltered from his gaze.
