SAY, LISTEN , Doin’ THAT $30,000 Offer to Darcy Turns Out to Be Largely “Hot Air.” | by The Prem Pubtishing Oo. | (The New York Evening World.) HAT $30,000 offer to Les Darcy to meet the winner of the Weinert -Miske bout is the bunk. The promoter, who got a@ little cheap advertising out of the proposition, admits that it wi largely hot air. He hoped to get! the Australian for much less after ‘talking’ to him, and figured it wouldn't do any harm to let the public believe the $30,000 thing. It may not do the public any harm, at that, as the promoter views it, but public isn't going to get any false impressions from this page if we can help it. When pinned down to an admia- sion that be had no intention of giv- ing Darcy the ridiculously high sum of $30,000 to meet either Welnert or Miske, the promoter, John Reisler by uame, began to back water, He said if he couldn't get Darcy for less than $80,000 (the bunk offer) he might give him that much (more steam- heated atmosphere). The trouble with certain promoters | ts that they try to insult the intelll- gence of sporting writers with stuff meant for personal advertising pur- poses only, They seem to forget that a man engaged in the dissemi: tion of news for readers of the ap columns knows his trade, or should know 1t.
