Irish Patsy Cline who was thrown out of the ring for stalling in the middle of a bout with Louis Bogash al the Casino last winter. is back on the upgrade. According to New York surgeon who has had the once famous scrapper under his care, Cline was suffering from the paralysis or an optic nerve over his left eye which made him see two images ln- stead of one and prevented him rom punching any where near accurateIy. This surprising revelation comes as q completev indication of the Celtic nlittman whose showing against 30 gash was so pitifully ludicrous that the entire Casino mob showered nm with misses and respberr1es. It may be remembered that Cline's share or the purse, amounting to $500. was withheld by Dapper Dan Hatheid after Patsy had been ignom1nlously expelled from the squared circle This money later was turned over to the Police Benefit fund.
 According to the New York Globe, Cline has had the ailment patchea up, and is working out with Jack Dempsey. The heavyweight cham nion declares that Cline will soon be a strong contender forl ightwelSht title honors once more. The account of the freak accident follows;
 Science has won another battle TOT Pa tsy Cline.
 Medical science-not ring 5clehce- :s the victor this time.
 Remember Irish Patsy Cline, one cf the ring sensations of a teW years ago Well, Patsy is coming back -fter suffering from one of the most peculiar maladies known to boxing:
 Two years ago Irish Patsy Chne was the sensation of the lightwelSht Iivisiou With incredible swftnesS he climbed from the bottom of the fs.tic ladder to within a hairbreadih ,r the tcpmost rung. He battled ms way through the ranks Of the con- tenders. and after topping over III the minor fry he took on N1ihe Jackson, Richie Mitchell and Johnny Dundee, and finally Benny Leonard
 However, just as Cline reached the that comes but once in the affairs of men which taken at it's height leadS on to fortune''-the tioe turned and Leonard. in their match in Philadel- phia. pulled a long right-hand swlne that landed just below Cline's eye. Patsy shook his head. b!inlled. and waded back into the fray, apparently unhurt But when he came back tO his corner he said he could not see with his left eve. He fought on un- der this handicap to the finish of the cofrtest. losing a very close newspa- per decision.
 From that time on Cline was not Cline He had continual trouble with his left eye; he had dizzy spells headaches and finally. after going along fighting below his true form gradually began to see doupte-
 That seemed to mark the beginning of the end of Patsy Cline's career Contests with mediocre boxers no only showed Patsy to be away of form, but apparently not thying hi' 7 best, as he would miss punch aftG' punch His remarks ble accuracy q distance was gone. and the fans couic not understand him missing an oppoh ent by at least a foot.
 Cline was suffering from "doubl vision" He told some of the gan! about 1t and they laughed at him an' called him crazy. Patsy didn't lilS fs to be called crazy. In fact. Gin thought his pals were right, and ac tuallv believed for a time that he wa thrown out of the ring in his las battle and branded as a faker fn mot trying" Patsy decided to qui the game.
 Some time later bit of persuasio on the part of his friends cause him to visit an eye specialist, wh diagnosed his case as double vision.
