scoTTy MoNTEITH ENDS
HIS MATCHMAKER'S JOB

PHILADELPHIA. March 10. -
scotty Monteith. OF New York. re-
signed yesterday as matchmaker of
the Olympia A. A. Boxing interests
In New York which prevented him
from devoting all OF his time to the
local position were attributed as the
reason for Monteith stepping out
within several weeks after he had
succeeded Herman Taylor.
Monteith last night declared that
ne left the position with the best of
feeling toward the officials OF the
OLYMPIA. He said he could not de
vote the necessary time here and
thought II best to step, out to take
care Of his other interests.
Leon l.. Rains, manager OF the
Olympia, when seen today, admitted
that Monteith had voluntarily re
aligned. His successor has not been
named as yet, but Is expected to be
chosen within the next week.

Gfficulty encountered was that
