Tom, Gene Fight
Is Predicted Flop
By Norman Brown
BY NORMAN Z. BROWN

Four or five days before the last
battle between Gene Tunney and
Jack Dempsey the timid chap who
is writing this was taken to task By
the heavyweight champion for voic-
ing the opinion that a second victory
for Tunney would cause a decided
slump in the heavyweight market.
Well, what Of it?
Nothing.
Except that the news that Johnny
Risko may be substituted for Tom
Heeney as an opponent for Gene be-
cause Of the utter lack Of interest in
the forthcoming battle is very signi-
ficant.
The Tunney-Heeney battle Is
doomed to be a flop financially. and
from the standpoint Of caliber in
general.
Tex Richard realizes now, more
than ever. that il was Jack Dempsey
who made the heavyweight game
good. And Tunney ought to realize
it, too.
Tunney, it is generally accepted.
has no personal following or appeal.
Never had. Never will have. Clean.
decent, outstanding chap with a high
purpose in life. But, unfortunately.
perhaps, none Of these enter into the
matter of creating a popular follow
ing. Tunney lacks the wallop and
fighting instinct Of Dempsey. the
c%leverness and speed Of Jim Corbett
and other attributes that have made
MS predecessory outstanding figures
IN the ring.
Heeney was a set-up the dav he
came to America. He hasn't done
enough fighting to warrant a place
IN the semi-finsl of such a battle
he was rushed in for the gate. No
one blames him for accepting the
chance 20 clean up.
Iunney's announcement rather
prenlasure-that he was in a hurry
70 take a walking trip abroad, didn't
help matters any.
As for Risko. he's in an odd posi-
tion. He is the only heavvweicht
IN the field who has done enough IN
actual combat to suggest a battle
with the champion. He licked Hesnsv
tnoGsh ne lost the decision. He lick
ga Jaek Sharkey. He licked Paolino
uzkudun; he licked George Godfrey.
de licked Jack Delaney.
NO one else has that much of a
record to offer in support Of 4 claim
% the right to meet Tunney. Yet
Kisko was s~idetracked. Richards
apparent reason for sidetracking the
Clevelander was the presumably
ballyhooing value Of an international
battle.
Mr.. Rickard finds himself about to
lose money. If Risko is tossed in il
Will be to save the gate.

MORTALITY FACTOR
Doctor Declares Care at
Time of Birth Can Greatly
Reduce Infant Deaths.

Declaring that many factors known
to threaten immature life are strictly
environmental and that infant mortal
ity can be greatly reduced by thorough
prenatal care and skilled attention at
the time of birth, DR.. Richard Bolt OF
the University of California, In a speech
before State Directors Of Maternity and
Infancy Work. in conference at the
Children's Bureau Of the Department
of Labor, pointed out that infant deaths
have not vet been sufficiently controlled.
II a further substantial reduction Is
to be obtained. he said, emphasis IN
prevention must be shifted from those
causes over which considerable control
has been secured to those which nave
thus far proved refractory.
He pointed out that while there mas
been a great decline In the total infant
mortality rates IN practically all civil
lived countries in the last two decades.
there has been virtually no Eecline In
the cases of children less than one
month old. About 50 per cent OF the
total infant mortality occurs under ene
month of age, he said. 40 per cent un-
der one week old and 20 per cent dur
ing the first day OF life.
Others who addressed the conference
were DR.. Fred l.. Adair of the ;jniver-
