Miami Beach, Fla, Feb. Is Rl- cation home on Belle Isle at S:S0 a. m. today for a two-day's automobile trip through the Lake Okeechobee district of Florida.
 He is making the journey at the invitation of Governor Doyle E. Carlton so that he may have close- up view of the conditions which Florida officials believe. call for fed e1al aid. both for flood control and the improvement of navigation.
 With him were the governor who arrived at Miami early this morn ing, and who was a breakfast guest of MT. Hoover: members of the Florida drainage board, and Repre- sentative Frank R. Reid of Illinois, chairman of the flood control com- mittee of the house of representa- tives.

 Flood Relief Companions
 This is the second flood relief on which the next chief executive and the chief of army engineers have been companions. They were togeth- CT during the Mississippi river flood in 1927 and had much to do with shaping the plan of relief which was enacted by congress last year.
 Twenty automobiles made up the calvacade that left Belle Isle with six state motorcycle police as out riders to clear the way for the party as it passed northward 10 Lake Worth and then northwcstward to Canal Point. the first stopping place on the lake.
 Nearly score of newspaper and camera men who accompanied Mir. Hoover to Miami Beach were in the party and in each car there were citizens of the Okeechobee district to explain what had happened in the hurricanes and floods of 1926 and 1928 and what the state proposes to do to alleviate conditions with the aid of the federal government.

see if they had caught their moves

The best move of the candidates
for the stake was that of the RAN

look like a slayer.

DROPPING
Of SMITH
|RKS
By F. A. Wray

LEEDS, England, April 25.
As the members of the Ameri-
can and British Ryder Cup
teams played their final prac-
tice rounds on the Moortown
course today in preparation
for the opening matches to-
morrow, the chief topic of con-
versation at the club house
was whether or not Capt.
Walter Hagen made a mistake
in omitting Horton Smith s
name from the American line
up for the foursomes tOmor-
row.
Smith, the 20.year-old baby of the
team, who stole much of Hagen'S
thunder by winning most of the
winter tournaments in the United
States, will play in the singles on
Saturday along with AL Watrous,
of Detroit.
Yesterday afternoon Smith
demonstrated that he can be
relied upon to give good &C.
count OF himself Saturday,
despite his alleged handicapS.
He defeated Ed Dudley. another
members of the American team.
by a score of 2 and In q
practice round.
Smith has played comparatively
few rounds with wood-shafted clubs,
which are required in England, and
is unfamiliar with difficult and
wind.swept courses of the Moor
town type. These factors are be-
ieved to have influenced Hagen to
leave the Joplin. Mo-, youth out of
the foursomes.
Hagen merely said he had Sc
1ected his players to the best ad-
vantage to the United States. 1t
was pointed out that if the Amer.
ican team is not ahead on points
when Saturdays play starts, much
will depend upon what Smith does
in the singles. as a win by him
may bring in the deciding points.
