in the air at present, and it is a
huge undertaking, only to be ap

Monteith Picks a Name.
Scotty Monteith. one <>f t m*
shrewdest of the New York cotorie
of managers, took Young Carrora
under his wing after looking hint
over intently in a few ,,f his early
flights. Scotty is a genuine Scot
himself and hails from Dundee, too.
lie realized the name Carrora would
never do for a topnotch fighter such
as lie hoped to make of Ihe lad from
Sunny Italy. So he named him after
his home town of Dundee and picked
out John, a good fighting name, as
his front monicker. Carrora since
has made the name Dundee famous
in the ring and Montieth may take
him over some day to show the folks
in Scotland.
Dundee fought fourteen four-round
bouts in New York and Brooklyn in
1910 and was credited with the shade
in all of them, so Monteith writes
He was extremely busy In 1911. box
ing no less than 45 times without
getting a real licking Among uis
opponents were Mike MsJia Frankie
Fleming. Kid Goodman. Young Mc

Young Cohen, Young Ketchell, Harry

decided reverse That was an artis

White who boxed him Thursday in

dandy licking that night and sent
him back to New York in bad shape.
Among Dundee’s other 1912 foes were
laddie O’Keefe. Young Wagner. Kid
Julian. Packey Homme.', Patsy
Kline Matt Brock. Johnny Kilbane
(ten rounds, no decision, in New
York). George Kirkwood, Harry
Thomas and Pal Moore. Another
