CLINE BESTS JACKSON “Irish Patsy” Has Better of Eight Rounds in Battle That is Filled With Thrills Throughout. New York, Sept., 25.—In the fastest and prettiest bout that has been seen in this neck of the woods in the proverbial blue moon, Patsy Cline out- boxed and outtought Willie Jackson at the Manhattan Casino last night. Though Cline won by a wide margin, taking eight of the ten rounds, Jack- son always was dangerous and in- terest was at fever heat and from the first to the final clang of the gong. Cline gave a superb exhibition of boxing. Fast with both feet and hands, clever on the attack as on the de- fense, he showed the ringsiders every trick in the boxer's repertoire. Jack- son packed a heavier and more dead- 1y punch and though finding Cline an clusive target, managed to land oc- casionally with smashing blows. Jackson's hardest walopds, however never more than temporarily slowed up the little Celt. The men started in fighting at a fast clip at the opening gong and from then on the bout was brimful of action. Interspersed in the lighting fast boxing were rallies in which the boys Stood toe to. toe and slugged mightily. Cline had the advantage of most of the exchanges but Patsy al- ways found Willie a willing mixer. AMHERST SCHEDULE OUT. Football Season to Open Oct 8—Capt. Washburn Reports.

Anxious to Pit Faullmer Agatmst, George Dillon for Handsome Trophy Efforts are being put farth by members of St. Joseph’s Y. M. A. A. for a match race at 100 yards be- tween Thomas J. Faulkner, captain e club and George Dillon of St. 's A. A. to be staged next Sat- urday in this city. So far nothind definite has been done in regard to clinching the match by friends of the North end boy. On the occasion of the dual meet between the associa- tions held at St. Mary's playgrounds in August, Dillon was the winner after a brilliant finish. However on the same afternoon, the boys clashed again in a fifty yards finish of a relay racg, and Faulkner was the winner. The recent form displayed by the crack captain of the South end ass-- ciation, has firmly convinced the mem- bers that their faverite has it on Dillon, and are anxious that the pro- posed match be put over. A handsome trophy will be awarded the winner. Faulkner showed that he is now at his best at the century distance in New Haven Saturday afternoon, whern he won the 100 yards dash in 10 2-3 secords, started by Billy Queal, and timed by John Mack, both promins ently identified with Yale athleties. Faulkner won the 100 yards dash open at the Berlin fair grounds Saturday Septemiber 15, in an event that DIil- lon did not enter. Dillon did run in a 100 yards dash event on that oc% casion, but it was a closed cvent for the city championship. B h, Worthy .3 Tommy BAKER/! REINSTATED.
