Southwest Virginia people were
much gratited last night when it be-
came known that the registration re-
turns show that tho Ninth Virginia
Congressional District came nearer
registering the fun number previously
estimated By the War Department; than
any other district in this state. In
fact. up to the time tho figures from
Washington County were received. the
registrations had exceeded the War Dc
partment's expectations. but the re-
turns from Washington pulled the total
down TO slightly below the estimate.
Buchanan County did not produce a

there were but three IN Dickcnson

ton. All the four negroes registering

Doyle is needed to pep up Chuck
Workman and teach him some Of the
finer points of big league play. He
has it in his power to make the North

From all coast reports, DiIIhoefer,
the Milwaukee catcher has all the

SO far as the actual muscle work
is concerned, Manager Mitchell
opines that DilIhOefer will do. But
the big question is how the young
ster will stack up when he is pitted
against the brains Of big league play
ers. He viii be a stranger to the OPP
posing players, will not know their
weaknesses and must trust to the
judgment Of his veteran pitchers. He
would be all at sea early in the, sea-

A few weeks on the bench, listen

watching the alien batters, will be

he belted two triples and a homer,
but failed to touch fire base on one
triple and lost credit for it. That is
an inexcusable mistake and no doubt
he heard some burning words from
the manager.

PHYSICIAN IS PESSIMISTIC OVER
LARRY DOYLE'S ANKLE
BY Mark Shields

According to a California physi-
clan, Larry Doyle, second baseman,
will not be able to play ball for the
Cubs before the middle Of July. This
was the decision after an examina-
ton Of Capt Larry ankle, broken
last fall.
There is a conflict of opinion on
this question, for only a few days ago
another medicO said Doyle could i'm
mediately get into the game and do
his darnedest with the prop.
More important than the edict of
the latest physician is the attitude of
Manager Mitchell and other officials
of the North Siders. They have
made no effort to land a yOungster
for the second base job, and Steve
Yerkes has been the only athlete tax
ing a whirl at the position. Steve is
a good ballplayer in some ATTITUDES,
but not in the north during early
spring and summer, when the wealth
er is chilly.
The war correspondents say that
if Doyle is out Of commission Yerkes
will play the bag until Larry is ready.
But early in the season is the very
time when Yerkes would do his poor
est playing. It is a question of linn
bering muscles with YeTkes and not
Of early season pitching. His bat
ting eye is all right and weakness in /
that direction had nothing to do with |
him being shaken out Of the big
league.
Doyle himself feels little anxiety !
about the ankle. The fact that he ]
has taken part in none of the prac- |
tice games means nothing serious. |
He is practcing daily and personally |
would like to take a chance in a /
game. But Manager Mitchell is hold !

that a party of high officials had visited

To the correspondent of The Associated

there has been n big increase in the com

Dutch India since the war, and particularly
since the establishment Of n direct steam

products are shipped 10 the United States.

available, the service might easily, and Ia

..But the amount of American capital
operating in the colony il small in com

been an increase in recent years. There =

enormous scope for profitable investment,

"Althoueh there are AT present very few

their enterprises are assured Of a most
