 New York, Nov. 24-(UP)-Boxing experts will flock to St. Nick's arena tonight to witness the New York debut of Young Jimmy Doyle, an Irish lad who has come out of the Golden West hailed as "a throw-- back to the old masters" because of his scientific leather tossing.
 The 20-year-old Los Angeles wel- terweight is scheduled for a To- round bout with rugged Pete De Ruzza, hard-hitting veteran from Mamaroneck, N. r., who is exptcetd to provide a stern test.
 Almost unanimously, the fight mob is hoping that Doyle will make brilliant showing and thus get a Metropolitan toe-hold in the rich welter- weight division, not only for his own sake but particularly be- cause of his manager Tony Palazolo.
 One-legged Tony, who has been hopping for years about the na- tion's boxing "beaches' like 8 Spry cricket on crutches, has taken the big gamble with Young Doyle. He has hitched his wagon to this star ano given up all other interests. It's all or nothing at all for swarthy Tony who promoted in Boston, San Fran cisco and Seattle, and who piloted such pugs of the past as Andy Mar tin, Pepper Martin, Young Corbett 3rd, and Phil Brubaker.
 Whether the popular Palazolo has dream fighter, or whether he merely has been having a dream should be revealed wildly tonight at St. Nick's. The fight mob hopes the former is true.
 Doyle, a modest youngster who tapers down nicely from broad shoulders, is called a throw-back to the masters because of his upright stance and because he combines rare boxing skill with fast punch. eVterans who watched him in training at Stillman's gym nasium gave out lengthy raves" a bout his beautiful left Jan, his ability to pick punches out of the air, his adroitness in rolling and side-slipping, and his effective counter punching.
 He should be good if he learned well he lessons taught him by two former heavyweight champions: Jlm Jeffries and Jack Johnson. He started his professional career four years ago boxing in the Jeffries' ''Barn" at Glendale, Calf. Ancient Jeff gave him many poiners. Laer Jack Johnson saw Doyle rtaining at the Main Street Gym in Los AI1- geles. Li1 Arthur's eyes popped, and he declared, "Jimminelly! That's the sweetest piece of fightin' mach inery I've seen in 20 years" John son gave Jimmy instructions Tor more than IS months.
 Palazolo rought his protege east a couple of months ago, but let him box in other cities-in order to ac- climatize hinself-before venturing into New York. He scored three knockouts and one decision in bouts at New Bedford, Mass; Washington; Fall River, Mass, and Boston, stretching his victory string to 30 straight. Early in his career he lost two bouts, according to Palazolo.
 Despite Doyle's reputed brilliance, Manager Tony was worried about to- nights engagement. T didn't want to take De F;uzza as test oppo- nent," he explained. "De Ruzza real- ly is a middleweight. He will weigh about 153 pounds to Jimmy's 143, and he is experienced, tough and a hard puncher. It will be hard for Jimmy to look good against him. even if he winS.'
 Doyle's real name is James J. De- fancy. He took the Doyle cognomen to please Palazolo, who once had 8 prominent lightweight contender named Paul Doyle.
