But base ball has been guilty of another mis- demeanor- Its latest offense is caus- ing the postponement, if not the call ing off, of wedding. It seems that

Earlier in the day he had visited the city clerks office and obtained a li- cense to commit matrimony. Be. tween the excitement of going to be married and being at the ball game he had to lose som ething. Having previously lost his heart and having lost his head when the Giants were losing the game, he lost the marriage license Yesterday a somewhat agi- tated special policeman made anxious inquiries of attendants, club officials and others as to whether the precious document had been found.

RUMANIA NEEDS
 IRON AND STEEL

Jassy, Rumania, June 12-Ru mania is badly in need of iron and steel For nearly seven years steel and iron imports have been far be- low normal. All reserve stocks were used up during the war. For recon struction purposes hundreds of thou sands of tons are needed.
 Hitherto the German and Transyl- vanian furnaces have furnished most of Rumania's steel. However, all of Rumania's needs could be met if Americans developed her iron mines There are rich undeveloped deposits both in old Rumania and in Transy1- vania, especially along the Car pathians. Other iron ore deposits of an exploitable importance are in the Dobrudja.

OREGONIAN LOOMS UP
 AS ATHLETIC STAR

Out in Oregon there's an all- around athlete by the name of Johnny Merchant whom the experts say IS going to clean up the field with all competitors in the Penthalon, at the coming Olympic games. Lawson Robertson, who knows an athlete anywhere and any time, when he sees one, says:
 Johnny is a Martin Sheridan and a Jim Thorpe rolled into one"
 What more can anyone ask? IT Merchant is only about half as good as Robbie claims he's certain to make his competitors go some in or der to beat him. He can jump well over 23 feet, throw the hammer fur ther than 160 feet, can cover 100 yards in 10 1-5 seconds and 229 wards in p 2-5 seconds. He can also throw the javelin and discuss respectable distances and can make mighty good time in a middle. dis tance race. .

WARNS FOOTBALL
 CANDIDATES TO BE
 READY FOR SEASON
pr. Sanford Urges Yale Men to Avoid Violent Exercises
 During Summer Season.

Urging the candidates for the foot ball team to allow a moderate amount of time for meals, the opening gun of the Yale football season was fired on Thursday night at Yale gymna- sium when graduates and undergrad uates prominently identified with the sport outlined plans for the coming season. It was urged that all can didates be prepared for the hardest season ever while the question of physical fitness was discussed at length. Dr. Sanford, who will have charge of the phyica4s condition of the men this fall, said:
 "Too violent exercise, especially in regard to swimming, should be avoid ed. Keep early hours and sleep at late as possible. Smoke moderately, cigars preferably in place of cigar. cites. Rest after eating and get in the habit of doing your smoking then.
 "One thing more which I wish to lay stress upon is the matter of in- Juries. Football accidents have changed; sprained ankles are a rarity and the football ear is never heard of now. Bad knees are now the prevailing accident and these cause a great deal of troubIe.''
 Dr. Sanford closed his speech by asking all men with bad knees or shoulders to arrange to see him be. fore going home.

 Miss Nan Smith of Brooklyn, who has been shooting only six weeks, also provided one of the features and her score was 151, the same as H. L. Car penter, a professional from Meriden.
 Another feature of the day was little James F. Bonner, sturdy n-year-old boy, who stood up there like a vet eran, called them in his shril voice, and broke 12S. He came from Chicago with his father, G. E. Bonner, who is up with the leaders in the title race having broke 192 for the day.
 Eighty-seven shooters, including several members of the Olympic team champions of many states and win- ners of national titles, faced the traps during the day and they were there again today to finish the program The prize lists total about $1,000 1T money in addition to numerous tro- phies.

New Orleans, famous as a battle ground for some of the most cele- brated combats in fistic history, is priming a native son for the heavy weight championship of the world. In all it's long association with the big movements in pugilism the Crescent City has never yet produced a heavy weight champion, or anyone approx
 mating such character. II has its Pete Herman, the present bantam champion, and a few years ago the brilliant Joe Mandot kindled hope in New Orleans hearts that a light weight champion was to rise from the ranks of local jabsmiins. But the formida ble Leach Cross of New York's east side scotched Mandot's aspirations, even though most people at the ringside declared it to be a s1ucky punch" And back into the murky mists of the past there was the wonderful Jack Everhardt, who suc- cumbed to the great Kid Lavigne. af- ter twenty-four terrible rounds.
 Everhardt missed the lightweight ti-
 tie by baby's eyelash.
 Martin Burke, a two-fisted, many freckled Irishman is the latest New
 Orleans pugilistic pride. Burke att
 tracted attention some time ago when
 Ae put OenI Tn the reputation of one
 Dick O'Brien the much heralded heavyweight. O'Brien was collect ing boosts galore as the coming pre-
 nier firsticuffer of the universe un-
 til he collided with Burke's knuckles. Burke's latest successes were gained
 in battles with Ole Anderson, the
 Pacific coast bruiser and big Al
 Reich of New York, who lacks only the will power to become a cham pion- Burke, conceding Reich fifty pounds weight and every other phy- slcal advantage thoroughly thrashed Reich in fifteen rounds recently.
 Burke, who has the conformat ton of the late Bob Fitzsimmons. an amazing spread of shoulders with an understructure of thin waist line and ! tapering legs, is an aggressively sci entlf1c boxer. He is a punishing hit ter, but as yet has not cultivated the knockout knack. Like F'itZsimm ons he has powerful arms, and like Rob- ert the Red he is generously deco
 rated with freckles. Perhaps in time
 he will develop the punch that made Fitz the most dreaded fighter of his time. Burke will definitely :, fix the status of Gene Tunney, as well as his | own at the Newark Sportsmen's Club in Newark next week. Burke will ! tackle the promising New York light heavy in a twelve round bout. The bout should define the rating of the ] two in the Tunney- Martin Ray Smith-Burke controversy as to who is in line for championship considera- 1 tion among the big fellows.

FITZSIMMONS BEST LITTLE LIGHTWEIGHT

Edward Aloysius Fitzsimmons is the best little lightweight in the ring to- day If you don't believe it, ask Dumb Dan Morgan Dan comes right out and admits that Eddie can clean up all the lightweight cham pionship contenders and delicately hints that Benny Leonard, too, might fall prey to his protege if Ben ny consents to fight him.
 Aside from what Dan has to say, there is no question about Eddie's ability to fight His recent victory over Lew Tender, who is no slouch himself, demonstrated that Eddie is of championship calibre. A bout between FitZsimmons and Benny Leonard, it seems, would be very much in order.
