Unanimous Newspaper De-

Patsy Lays Low Mr.. Coster in
Fifth Round With Right
hand Blow.

Two Jersey boys, Patsy Kline, a
featherweight from this city. and
frankie Burns, aspirant for the ban
tamweight title, from Jersey City, re-
ceived victories in the ring last night.
Patsy put away Joe Coster in the
fifth round in New York and Burns
got the decision over Monte Attell at
New Orleans in a ten-round bout.
Patsy Kline made the first step IN
his comeback" journey without A
miscalculation when he slowed away
Joe Coster, of Brooklyn. in five rounds
at the Fordon A. c.. last night. Ths
local pride just waited for an oppor-
tunity and then waded in and crashed
a right to the jaw of the Brooklyn boy
that SEN him to the land of sleep for
more than the ordinary count of ten.
Kline demonstrated beyond a doubt
that he is the lad of old, and will give
the boys of the coast the battle of their
lives when they fight in the climate
that little Patsy is accustomed to.
Kline proved to his followers that
he has now developed a punch in his
right hand that will lay the best of
them low. The blow hat rocked Cos
ter was a right swing that was meas
ured and did not travel over twelve
inches, but it had enough force to make
a welterweight lay low. OF course,
Kline is not the most scientific fighter
in the game, but his ability to take
punishment and his able delivery will
gain him many decisions.
The cohorts of Newark gave 1.-The
Pride a most cordial welcome when
he entered the ring.
When the bell sounded Coster Jumped
from his corner and landed a light
left tap to Patsy's jaw. Kline stalled
and Coster landed again, and then
again. Patsy woke UP and let go a
left that Coster did not relish. Both
clinched in the centre of the ring and
Patsy was compelled to hit Coster 81
as to shake him off. Then they spared
and Kline let fly a left that sent Cos
ter to the floor for the count of rine.
Joe a on his feet and then stalled
to the end of the round.
The second saw both men using their
wits, and Kline was the recipient of
many light taps to the face. Patsy
was willing to TAX all that was COM
ing and was just lying back to get in
a good blow. 1t was not his luck 10
get 1t in this round. The round was
even.
The third found both going at it
hammer and tongs. Benny Miller, who
was in Kline's corner, kept advising
Kline to lead with his left. and it
worked havoc in bewildering the
Brooklyn lad.
When the men got together for the
Fourth round there was blood in their
eyes. Coster was very nervous AMI
doing his best to run away from Kline.
Kline aimed a left at Coster's face
when the latter ducked and Patsy fell
10 the canvas. This round belonged
to Coster on points.
Benny Miller, who for the last few
seasons has devoted his time to telling
Kline to use his right hand. held a
whispered conversation Patsy started
with a look of determination on his
race. For a few seconds the mon
stalled. Kline landed a left to the
stomachi that made Coster throw up
Doth hands. He yelled that he had
been hit low, but the referee and all
present saw that he was not. Kline
Kept after his man, and after taking
with a left sent owe a right hook that
put Coster to sleep for a longer time
than he had bargained for.
NICK Kline, who has assumed the
management Of his brother. was the
trst to jump into the ring and take
Patsy to his corner.
