for Government employees as we
had IN The Star-Sponsored tourna-

are some details to be worked out
this year, but already we are as
sured of more entries and even
greater interest than in the success
full affair We had in 1938.'

agencies to submit to him at 37O1
Massachusetts avenue by April 10
their team nominations. The sched-
ule Will start as early in MAY as
possible and will not be completed
until late July or early August, with
the playof during the latter month.
In place of four sections, with six
teams in each section, as last wear,
there will be three sections this
year, probably with eight teams in
each section. An effort will be made
to balance each section in PLAYING
ability. Redick assured the annual
meeting that each team will plav
only every fortnight, which will 10
