N ran at IS, such is the unique
L distinction by Irish Patsy Cline
the local lad whose ambition is to be-
come lightweight champion of the
world at 20, The Irish" clings to
Patsy's name. as it serves to dis
tinguish him from the old time Jersey
featherweight.
Patsy is typically Irish. His fighting
proves that much. He is the first of
the leading lightweights since the
palmy days of Jack McAuliffe who can
claim ireland for his birthplace. Patsy
was born in County Longford just IS
years ago At the tender age Of
year he was brought to this country
to be developed into a lightweight
champion
Young Cline has just graduated into
the lightweight division. after nearly
three years OF sensational work as
featherweight At Is he was a pro-
fessiOnal boxer. and he intends to re-
main in the game until after several
years reign as lightweight king.
Experts Like His Looks.
Such ring luminarieS as Packy Nc
Farland and Mike Gibbons have passe I
judgment on Cline, and their verdict
was the same-tO them Cline repre-
scented the classiest bit of fighting
machinery produced in the east in
years. Benny Leonard is a bit chary
about estimating Cline's worth right
now, for Patsy will soon supplant
Benny as the idol Of uptown fight
followers.
A years or so ago. however, when
Cline was still a featherweight, Leon
ard expressed the opinion that in time
Cline would become a dangerous con
tender for championship honors- Lit
tie did Benjamin realize that it would
be in his own class that Cline would
be a dangerous contender. 4 meeting
between the two is in the incubation
stage, and should be ready for hatch =
ing by early autumn.
He Keeps Coming.
The expressions of Mcfarland and
Gibbons regarding Cline's ability
should carry some weight. as each
speaks with the knowledge gained
through years Of experience. Gibbons
