PEEvED
BY PERSONAL
At TACK FROM
CL|NE'S CAMP

Peaceful Jack Lynch is on the war
path. The good natured Prescott boy
has been all stirred up" by reports
emanating from the training camp of
one Tiger Johnny Cline and which,
in the opinion of Lynch casts reflec-
tions upon his craftsmanship and
fighting ability.
The runor which has drifted north
ward from the Cline camp and which
has caused so much anamosity be-
tween the principals in one of two
main events on next Tuesday nights
fight card at the Eighth street arena
was quoted by Lynch as follows:
Jack has had plenty of set-ups in
the past few months and the first
time he meets a real good man, Phoe-
nix fight fans will be awakened to
gave upon a broken idol"
Jack took this alleged Cline state
ment in the light of a personal at
tack, and has written the Legion
matchmaker that he will settle with
Cline in their 10-round engagement
next Tuesday evening.
Information has come to me that
Cline believes that he is that first
good man of which he spoke. Well,
he'll get the chance to show whether
he is and he'd better be ready to
prove it or suffer one of the worst
beatings of his career" Lynch wrote.
1t is difficult to imagine Lynch
all "peeved up" Ordinarily he's as
quiet an unassuming chap as one
will meet anywhere. There's no
gainsaying the fact that as a sports
man, Lynch has no peer in the
squared circle.
If one were TO meet him on the
street, they. might take him for a
business man, a professional or COM
mercial man. but never as a fighter.
In the ring. he's as cool a proposition
as the Oldest and most experienced
combatant. Moreover, he's one of the
cleanest boys in his ring work that
ever graced a Phoenix fight arena.
1t will. therefore. be regular treat
for the fans to see an angered Jack
Lynch in action, because Jack has a
real Crouch on He admits it, say
ing that he thinks Cline would do
pretty well to pay attention to his
own ring work.
Lynch has promised to drop the
Fresno battler next Tuesday or him
self go down in the attempt
Maybe Cline figures himself to be
a set-up, too,'' Lynch wrote the Le-
sion promoter. Maybe that's one of
his ways of preparing an alibi. But
If he thinks that, why was he so anx-
ious to get a return bout with me %
Even at that. Lynch's anxiety to
settle the score with Cline in the ring
here may react to his disadvantage.
He may be over anxious to end the
argument with a blow and go into
the fray wide open, leaving himself
a mark for a good right cross, such
al Cline is reputed to pack.
Lynch and Cline will step over the
10-round route. That is. it is a
scheduled 10-round argument Lynch
says it won't go the distance and
Cline. too, believes that he will stop
the Prescott boy inside the limit.
Both men are working hard In
preparation for the meeting, Cline In
Phoenix and Lynch in Prescott. Jack
will come to Phoenix Friday night
and spend the final four days in
training here, so that he will be fully
acclimated to local weather condi-
tions.
Mike Doyle continues to show i'm
provement in his daily workouts at
the Eighth street arena. Mike never
showed better than last night. when
he took on four sparring partners in
sessions of two rounds each. Young
sylvester, it is expected, will leave
Los Angeles for Phoenix today.
