Mr. Hoover then nestled down in his| chair to await the thrills and exclu-i ment in store. He was handed a hand- | somely bound score -card, but it is| doubtful if he will use it, as he has never been much of a hand at scoring a game. He always leaves this duty to Mrs. Hoover, but she is not with hllll“ today, having gone to the Girl Scouts’ convention in Indianapolis. She join him in Cleveland tomorrow. ‘The cheering of the President was| not confined merely to the ball park.

Along the side-| walks from the station to the park friendly faces and cheers greeted him. Mayor Mackey and his secretary, | Paul Gottlieb, and Charles G.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 1.—The stock market displayed a sharp reversal of recent form today, rallying briskly un- der the impetus of short covering which frequently became urgent. Gains of $3 to $4 were common in the rails, utilities and industrials. United States Steel and American Telephone advanced $4, and American Can $6. Westinghouse Electric, Sears- Roebuck, Allied Chemical, Johns-Man- ville and du Pont made similar gains, Shares rising $3 or more included North American, Pennsylvania, Con- solidated Gas, General Electric, Amer- ican & Foreign Power, Stone & Webster, New York Central, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Atchison and Canadian Pacific.
