NO More Missed Babies!

Soleprints Taken of Babes In
Boston Hospital-As Infall-
ible AS Finger Prints.
BY HAROLD MATSON
NEA Service Writer

BOSTON, October 13.-Babies
in Boston are starting off in the
world with their feet flat on the
ground.
There'll be 10 mixing of babies.
Too many times the child of Irish
parents has found itself with Swed-
ish parents, and vice versa, as the
case might be. But the mites are
done with such carelessness. They're
standing up and declaring them
selves.
So it is that every baby born in
the Boston City Hospital, some
1000 or more a year, makes his
first tangible impression upon the
world standing on his feet.
Soleprints are being taken of
each infant as it enters the world.
This, the latest device to insure pos
tive Identification, is supposed to
be as infallible as fngerprints are
with adults.
"The fingers of a newborn baby
are too soft to make a print inn
preston" explains( DR.. Reginald
Margeson, in charge of the sole
print work. cit was the idea of
Professor Wilder, of Smith Col
lege, to take sole prints and we are
doing it with great success"
To double insure identification
both the baby and its mother are
registered before they leave the de
livery room-the baby by sole
prints and the mother by finger
prints.

BUSINESS--LIKE
WAY WILL CARRY
YOUTH LONG WAY
Will Give Leonard Tough
er Battle Than Any of
Others
BY United Press Leased Wire
By FRANK GETTY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 23.-Of all the
lightwcights who aspire to the
crown which Benneh Leonard cam
not much longer hope to wear,
young Jack Zivic of Pittsburgh
looks the most promising.
-Four years ago, around this time,
Jack and his brother Pete were
knocking over little Hungarians and
Swedes and BraziIians i'll amateur
bouts at the Olympic games at Ant
werp.
Since then, the Zivic brothers
have risen-if you like-to the pro-
fessional ranks. Pete, the elder, is
Il feather; Jack, a lightweight.
This Jack is a workmanike cuss,
who is at present engaged with five
or six other aspirants in series of
elimination bouts to see who is the
best man to take Il sock at Leonard
and probably a beating at the
workmanlike hands of the champ.
Zivic disposed of the first two as
pirants with whom he tangled, al
though he lost to Pal Moran of
New Orleans on q technical foul.
He was administering such Il scien-
tific, if somewhat ovcrc eager beat
ing to the southern veteran that
there was never any doubt as to
which was the better man.
Then came Sid Barbarian, an am
bilious young American boy from
Detroit. and he was handily knock
ell off by the Pittsburghcr.
1 Zivic is pleasure to watch. He
is more active than Leonard, but
there is something i'll his business
like way of going about things that
reminds one of the titleholder. The
former amateur can take on all
kinds, but Il rushing, tearing fighter
is his particular dish. Jack is a two
handed fighter. He can keep his
head and weather the worst storms.
And lie can hit, although not as
hand as Leonard.
BY and large, the Pittsburgh boy
looks best of the challengers. His
is a style which leads one to look
for big things from him in the fu-
ture. He has head, and uses it.
Leonard is gaining weight, and
soon will be unable to defend his
title. He would beat Zivic now, be-
cause of his greater defensive skill
and his knowledge of the fighting
game, but. Jack would give him Il
tougher battle than any of the 9th
prS.
