League Notes.

Everybody was glad to see Webster win
his game In the War match and against
Maj. Lowe, too! Probably no player on
the Navy team has played any harder or
more conscientiously than has Webster, but
luck has almost uniformly been against
him. Time and again he has fallen lust
short of landing a victory through some
small error OF judgment, perhaps, which
would not have been taken advantage of by
another player.
A great improvement in form Is notice
able IN the playing of the Treasury team
and for the past week or so they have
shown up especially strong. If they had
struck their present gait earlier in the sea-
son they might have been fighting 1t out
with the leaders by now.
The Star has received very compliment
airy comments from chess experts regarding
some of the games which have been pub
l1shed In this column. To Judge from the
opinions thus expressed, the department.
players are putting up game which would
compare favorably with the play in almost
any amateur tourney.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Sysonby. the horse
Of 1868, Will be the horse of 1906, unless
some lusty sthree-y ear-old develops to dis
pute his claims to pre-eminence Sysonby
Is too much for such as Oiseau, Tradition,
Agile, Tanya, Cairngorm, oxford, Kia-
mesha, DR.. Lego, Rams Horn and Santa
Catalina, the most formidable of the four
year-old candidates for the big races. and
he is far and away better than any of the
sound hve-year-olds. The Indications are
that he will train s0undly. He has wintered
beautifully and lie is enjoying fine health.
Sysonby is not intended for early racing
Persons who know James r. Keene's plans
for his future say that Sysonby will not
race before the Suburban. Mr. Keene is
very anxious to win the Suburban with his
great Melton colt. If Sysonby works well
at Sheepshead Bay he will be held in the
latter part of summer and fall for the long
distance, weight-for-age races
The three-year-olds most likely to make
trouble for Sysonby in the autumnal dis
lance races are Burgomaster and Perverse
of Harry Payne Whitney's stable, and
Gen. Stephen Sanford's Mohawk IL These
were the truly great two-year-olds who sur
vived the season of 1908, and they wintered
famously.

Proposed Signals for Motorists.
special Cablegram to The Star.

LONDON, April Some English motor
lists are agitating the adoption of a code
of signals to be used TO indicate the inten-
lions of drivers with regard to direction
Horn signals are suggested to inform all
on the road, whether automobiling or not
exactly what the intentions of the signal
ing party are. The following signals. it
is thought, would be easily understood: For
car going straight ahead, one quick blast
repeated with an interval between, as often
as necessary; for turns to the right, two
quick blasts In rapid succession and for
turns to the left, three short blasts For
backing, one ong-drawn-out blast.

MAY DISRUPT
LOCAL LEAGUE

Certain questions have arisen in the man
agement of the Departmental League of
base ball clubs that may have tendency
to change the whole state of affairs the
approaching season. 1t will be recalled
that this league filled an important place
in base. bali circles last summer, and the
contests between the various teams repre-
scented in the association attracted large
crowds daily to the White Lot, where the
games were played. and 1t was expected
that this season the league would be even
more popular. 1t appears that last season
certain concessions were made to the De-
partment of Justice team. A certain num-
Der of notary publics presumably were al
lowed to get commissions and play on
this team. otherwise it would have had to
give up its place in the circuit.
This opening has started some of the
other teams out on the same scheme and
hence, unless some radical measures are
taken against the movement 1t is likely
to cause the Departmental League consd-
cradle trouble. If not ultimate ruin. The
executive committee of the league COM
posed OF the various chief clerks and heads
of divisions of the departments, at a re-
cent meeting adopted a strong eligibility
rule, which was published in last Sundays
Star and it was believed everything was
safe in that regard.

War Departments Request.

1t now transpires that the War Depart
ment. which last year had strong array
of players and was regarded as champion
for the greater part of the season, for its
men-Wolfe, Finegan. Patterson, Corrigan,
Asquith, Fenwick. Donaldson, Geib, Nc
Gowan and others-were equal to the best,
has asked the committee the right to use
as players several of the enlisted men sta
toned at Fort Myer. From one OF the
leaders of the War Department club it is
given out rather authoritatively that un-
less this privilege is granted it is very
doubtful IL the department will be repre-
scented in the league.
There is a. general protest against grant
ing this concession and the members of the
executive committee are receiving a lot of
appeals against opening the doors to such
an abuse of their association.
IF the War Department Is allowed this
permission" said one of the principal play
ers of one Of the teams. what is to pre-
vent the TEST from asking and getting sim
liar concessions. II would be more pIausf-
bic to grssnt the Commerce and Labor the
right to Invade the Government Printing

Office which is-somewhat a branch of its
place yet even this would be a violation
of the constitution of the association. The
Interiors could secure several fine players
from St Elizabth, which comes under their
jurisdiction. but still outside the pale of the
Department. while the Navy could utilize
all the clever players from the seamen on
board the ships at the navy yard. 1t is
TO be hoped the committee will be strong
enough TO resist this encroachment on the
organization. and thereby protect 1t for the
future. The team representing the Metro
politan Police of this city denied adj
mission because it did not represent one
of the departments. How the committee
can allow soldiers from Fort Myer and
Washington Barracks to get a different
construction put on their qualifications is
beyond all reasoning for surely they are
not of the civil service, from which the
teams of the league must come II they de-
sire recognition in the ranks of the league"
The officers of the league will hold meet
ing the coming week to pass on this ques-
ton, whether they will violate the rules in
order TO allow War to draft soldiers for its
team from the Notifications around Wash
ington. and the result will be awaited with
interest by all supporters of the Depart
