DUNDEE'S ARMS

Scotty Monteith.
= IACk NEnIck

New York, Feb. 2O.-Scotty Non
tieth, the affable little fight manager
who formerly directed the destines Of
Johnny Dundee, says that the Scott
Wop will never be much Of a knock
erout because Of his short arms.
Scotty and Johnny have parted
company. They come TO the parting
OF the ways after the Leonard-Dun-
dee bout at Newark. in which Dundee
got the worst OF #. Johnny told his
former manager that his reason for
quitting him was that he believed it
was time for him (Johnny) TO conduct
his own affairs. and, besides. man
ayers are so expensive.
But MOntieth isn't panninE Dundee
for his action. He has only good
wishes for the Scotch Wop. whom he
made famous throughout the country
while serving as his manager. And 10
get back 10 JOhnuy's falling
'Dundee's arms are shorter than
those OF the average bantamweight,'
says AIOntieth- THAT is why he
doesn't get the same force behind a
punch that the average good light
weight has But he is always dan
gerous coming into close quarters
with all OF his short arms
"Dundee's peculiar jumping style
was made necessary because OF his
short arms. and he has found IL a
good thing in balancing his short
coming. He puzzles an opponent with
his jumping, and the fact that he can
shift from one attitude 20 another
with lightning like quickness and
never present a good opening has
kept him off the canvass"
