HOOVER TURNS TO
 SPEAKING TOUR
Throws Out First Ball, Leaves
 for Long Trip

Washington, Oct. 1 PHPresident Hoover turned today to his long contemplated speaking trip which, In the next six days. will take him more than 5000 miles, into thre states or the midwest, east and south, for four addresses on current national questions.
 Reversing the old adage, "business before pleasure" the president ar ranged first to throw out the f1rst ball and witness the opening worlds series baseball game at Philadelphia, after which his speaking engage ments will come in quick order, the first before the American Bankers association convention in Cleveland tomorrow night.
 Special Train Chartered
 Arrangements called for departure of the presidential party by special train in the forenoon. The tour. the most extensive for the president this year, will be made in two jumps. Returning to Washington Friday morning from Cleveland, MT. Hoover will get under way again sunday night for Boston where on Monday he will make two daytime speeches, In the morning before the national convention of the American Legion and in the afternoon before the American Federation of Labor.
 Immediately after the second Bos- ton speech, he will make 21-hour swing back to Kings Mountain battlefield in South Carolina, just over the North Carolina border, where on Tuesday afternoon he will wind up his tour with an address at celebration of the sesquicentenr11al of the battle of Kings Mountain in the Revolutionary war.
 Speeches Eagerly Awaited Coming as they do only a month before the congressional elections, the presidential announcements will be scanned eagerly by candidates and their supporters throughout the country. White House officials, however, insist the speeches will be non-political. The Kings Mountain | address, they point out, was ar | ranged nearly a year ago.
 In three of the speeches the pres ident will be heard over nationwide radio chains. Since the one before the Federation of Labor will be de- | livered during broadcast of the ] world series ball game, it has been arranged for William Green, presi- dent of the federation, to read it to the radio audience later.
