You may have read somewhere re cently that Marin Plestina, the giant Slav, had a chance to wrestle Stanis laus Zbyszko. an ally of the Jack Curley wrestling "trust" and that Plestina ran out of-the match. All oi which is wholly untrue and brings to light one of the most pop-eyed tricks ever attempted in sportdom. The story is this: Plestina, under management of T. O. Marsh, former pilot of Frank Gotch s grappling destmy, has been trying for four years to get a crack at any of Curley's group. The chance was denied him even though Marsh has offered bonuses of $1,000 up to $10,000 to various members of the Curley group, collectable the moment they stepped onto the mat. Public pressure finally demanded that somebody in the parley collec tion go so far as to bluff meeting Plestina. It was decided that Man Zbyszko should be used as the medi um. So when Marsh, recently in rxew York, offered to bet $10,000 that Ples tina could beat any man in the world, Jack Herman, manager for Zbyszko, opined that he'd accept the offer. He met Harsh in Rochester, N. Y., where Marsh posted $1,000 to bind the match.. Wanted Go in Chicago. Herman insisted that .the match take place in Chicago, even though Tex Rickard was willing to hang up a $25,000 purse in New York. Her man further demanded that it be staged in the Coliseum A. C. of Chi cago, which is managed by Joe Cof fey and in which Herman is said to have a big finaucial interest. Shortly after the $1,000 forfeit money was posted Coffey sent to Marsh the contract for his signature. Never in all the history, of wrestling or any other sport was a contract so weirdly drawn; never wasthere one so tricky and unfair. Marsh balked at it. That was what Herman had hoped for. He had made the bluff that he would let his man wrestle Plestina and now he is insisting that Marsh, by refusing to sign the con tract, ran out on the match. The contract has three of the strangest provisions conceivable. They are: "Zbyszko and Plestina shall choose the referee. In case they cannot agree the Coliseum A; C. will choose the referee." Naturally, no man favorable to Plestina would be agreeable to Zbyszko. Therefore it would be up to the club owned in part by Zbysz ko's manager to pick the referee. It doesn't require more than one guess as to who the referee would be. Names 10 Referees. Marsh irl objecting to that clause named 10 reputable referees in the United Mates and said if Plestina and Sack for Senators ' Boyle's 30 Acres' To Be Scene of Dempsey Battle New York, April 25. The arena for the Dempsey-Carpenticr bout to be staged in Jersey City on July 2 will be erected on a plot known as "Boyle's Thirty acres," situated just south of Montgomery Park; Pro moter Tex Rickard, who will have sole charge of the heavyweight cham pionship contest, officially an nounnced the site here this afternoon. The site of the arena is within a few minutes walk of the various fer ries and the intercity underground tube service. Three railroads are within a few blocks of the site, while several broad boulevards, suitable for heavy automobile travel and park ing are nearby. The work of levelling the plot for the erection of the 50,000-seat arena will be begun at once. It is Rickard's intention that the mammoth boxing stadium be finished in time to permijt the staging of one or more bouts of importance before the heavyweight' contest. Reservations from as far south as NcV Orleans and as far west as Los Angeles already have been booked, the promoter of the trips engaging car space and fight seats in blocks in order that the parties once formed may travel and sit together. "Kid" Graves to Fight at Grand Island "Kid" Graves, local mitt slinger, will tackle Jack Boyd at Grand Is land in a 10-round bout Thursday night. The Graves-Boyd mill will be the mam event of an atheltic en tertainment to be staged by the Legion. Following the fistic encounter in Grand Island, Graves will hop a rat tier and speed to Clinton, la., where he is scheduled to clash with ' Lee Barrett of that city in a 10-round bout on Friday night. Zbyszko could not tgree any one of the-10 on the list would be suitable to him. But Herman opposed the suggestion. ' . . ' J ' Another provision read: "The contestants upon entering the ring may instruct the referee to award the $10,000 which each has posted to the winner of the con test." , , Notice the word "MAY." There is no compulsion attached to it. Zybsz ko wouldn't have to, under that pro vision, bet' a cent on himself. He could if he so wished. If he didn't want to, he could draw down his forfeit. Marsh, 'in objecting to that clause insisted that the word "may" be changed to "MUST". But Her man wouldn't agree to that. He wanted a loophole on that $10,000 side bet thing. But the most fcmarkable clause of all reads: "For faithful performance of the terms and conditions of this' con tract, Plestina is to receive $1,000 from the Coliseum A. C." The match would draw a gate be tween $50,000 and $100,000. And the Coliseum A. C. wants to give Plestina $1,000 not a dollar more. Marsh, in refusing that ridiculous proposition countered with: "Let the club put up a fair purse for the -wrestlers to shoot at. Let it be 50 per cent of the gross. Then have the wrestlers split their share 60-40, 75-25, 80-20, 90-10 or the winner-take-all basis. I prefer winner-take-all. If Herman refuses to ac cept any of these offers I am willing that the entire purse apportioned for the wrestlers be given to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army or the fund for wounded soldiers and that the men merely wrestle for a side bet. If Herman is willing we will increase the side bet from $10,000 up to $30,000, without any strings at tached to it. The contest is to' be best two falls out of three to a posi tive finish and the winner gets every dollar of the forfeit money." Guarantees "ZibbyV Purse. "Or, if Herman prefers. I'll Guar antee him $12,500 for Zbyzsko's share of the gate, win, lose or draw, and let anyone other than Jack Curley or the Coliseum A. C. promote the match." The offer was rejected as will be any fair offer involving a match be tween Plestina and any of the Curley group. And the reason is that Cur ley realizes that Plestina would make any man in the Curley group look like a false alarm. ' (Copyright. f921 by Kins; Features Syndi cate, inc. "NEW.
