PRESIDENT RESTED
BY BRIEF VACATION
Appears Greatly Refreshed
After Visiting Last World
Series Game.

After his trip to Philadelphia yester-
day to view the last world series base
ball game President Hoover was back
at his desk at the customarily early hour
this morning, apparently unconcerned
about anything but the pile Of work in
front of him.
From all outward appearances the
President had long since put all
thoughts of that exciting ball game he
witnessed yesterday and the splendid
reception he received in Philadelphia
completely from his mind, but he was
ready today to talk about the game
whenever the subject was brought up.
The President appeared greatly re-
freshed as a result of the one day holi-
day and the excitement afforded by the
ball game. The greater part Of
the return journey, he devoted to jotting
down notes mostly concerning the
speech he Is writing to be delivered in
Louisville next week
The President considered the game a
splendidly played one and he seemed
pleased with his success at retaining
a neutral attitude through the contest.
Mrs. Hoover Is just as much of a fan
as the President. Both applauded when
good plays we're made by each side,
and in the Cubs part Of the seventh
inning they arose with the thousands
Of others for a stretch" and repeated
the performance when the Athletics
part of the inning arrived.
Crowd Went Wild.
When Bing Miller banged in the win
ming run and the crowd went wild and
everybody was screaming and wildly
jumping about, even in the vicinity of
the Presidents box, he and Mrs. Hoo
yer arose and smiled broadly, but they
did not indulge in any of the whooping
or waving Of hats. They seemed to be
enjoying the great sight.
During the height Of this outburst
Mr.. Hoover turned to Mayor Mackey
Of Philadelphia, who, with Mrs. Mackey,
had accompanied the party to the park
and occupied seats to the left of the
President, and remarked something to
the effect that he thought he was main
tanning his neutrality pretty we'll. The
President was too late to get an answer
from the Philadelphia mayor. Just as
the President turned to him the latter
rushed from the stand to the field to-
ward the Athletes dugout and threw his
arms about Bing Miller and Mule
Haas, whose homer tied the score, and
was next dancing in front of the dug
out with a couple of the Athletic play
ers locked In his arms.
It was during this wild demonstra-
ton throughout the stands that the
President and his party took their leave
and hurried back to their train. AS
Mayor Mackey rejoined the President to
accompany him back to the station, he
painted something sounding like What
did tell you; knew we would win"
Crowds Line Curb,
Next to the ball game the Presidents
greatest thrill came from the impress
sive reception he received the moment
he alighted from his train. There were
crowds lining the curbs all along the
way to the park, distance of nearly
flve miles.
The Presidents box was in the front
row close to the Athletic dugout. Mrs.
Hoover sat on the Presidents right
and Mrs. Mackey on his left. Neither
the President nor Mrs Hoover kept a
box score. Before the game started
Judge lands, the high commissioner
of base ball, William Wrigley, owner
of the Cubs, and Tom Shibe, president
Of the Philadelphia ball club, were
presented to the President. The
President autographed two base balls
at the close Of the game for the
nlascots of the two clubs.
The special arrived back in Wash
ington at 6:25 last night, and the
President and Mrs. Hoover went
directly to the White House.
The journey to and from Philadel-
phia was especially pleasant. It was
made aboard q luxurious special train
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, in
charge Of D. L. Norman, assistant gen.
eral passenger agent In Washington.
The special car used by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover, the Maryland, is new one
and was first used by Prime Minister
Macdonald on his trip from Washington
to New York week ago.
Besides Mrs. Hoover, those in the
Presidents party were Attorney General
Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell, Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde, Claudius Huston,
chairman of the Republican national
committee; Lieut.. Comdr Joel T. Boone,
the Presidents physician; Lawrence
Richey, one of the Presidents
secretaries, and Mrs. Richey; Walter
H. Newton, another of the Presidents
secretaries, and Miss Myra MacGrath,
