OFFER TO BUDGE CHICAGO, October 18. Mr Jack Harris, a sports promoter, said Budge will turn iprofessional if he receives a minimum of 100,000dol. “.1 offered him 70,000d0l with the option of a liberal percentage for a professional tour in 1939, but he demanded 100,000 dollars, which is beyond reason, although he might earn that much in percentages if he has the box office appeal he thinks he possesses.” Budge stated : “ I’ve made no commitments to Harris. I may accept 75,000d01, but may hold out for 100,000dol.”
