Readers Of the sport page have often
wondered Just how it happened that
Johnny Dundee, the Italian jumping
Jack, got his Scotch moniker. The
secret was revealed the other day by
ScOtty NOntieth, Dundee's manager.
DUndee's real name is Joe Carrora
and his father is a New York fish
merchant. He stepped into the ring
for first bout and didn't have any
ring monaker. so when the referee
asked what name he should announce,
Johnny said the first one that come
into his noodle, which was Young
Marine"
As Young Marine he fought two
bouts, then was matched away from
home and Scotty Monteith told him
Here, kid, that name'n never do
if you expect to get anywhere. Pick
ont another one"
"All right" says the youngster,
how'll Garibaldi do?"
ScOtty wasn't up on Italian history
and said that was a worse ring mon
aker than the other one. You pick
ont a name for me-" said the lad to
Scotty.
While Monteith was figuring out
name, he involuntarily began TO hum
Bonnie Dundee" The idea struck
him of naming his protege after the
song. but Bonnie" would never do for
a boxer, so he made it the nearest he
could, which was Johnny Dundee.

Examiner printed the story OF the
formation of the lightweight union eX-
clusively. Since that critics all over
the country have come out in favor of
the movement. They realize that
there are too many grand little ring
men at 1873 pounds TO be showed out
in the cold with no chance TO capture
a title just because Willie Richie has
outgrown the division. So the win
ner of the WoIgast-White mixup will
receive plenty of recognition as the
king of the 133-pounders. Also he will
get plenty Of challenges.
