OIL HEATING IS
IMPORTANT THING

Much has been said about 'oil
burners" on the market today, but
the public IS more interested in "oil
heating" according to F. E. Trosky.
2949 Central Ave. plumber and
heating expert.
I'VE see a lot printed about IN
stallation of oil burners, but the
burning question, after all, is not
the primary concern" said Trosky.
We can burn oil in the open and
get no heat in our homes. We can
burn OIL and get a lot of smoke and
dirt too. When we burn oil in a
burner that will produce plenty Of
heat with no smoke and dirt going
into the rooms of home, then we
have solved to a great extent the
heating problem.
I'm the Aladdin on Burner, which
we handle that thing has been &C.

Flowers Manager
Not to Protest
Bout with Walker

Chicago, Dec. 5.-(P)-Walk Miller,
manager of Tiger Flowers, announced
today that, while he protests, he will
not formally demand that the Illinois
athletic commission reverse the de-
cision of Referee Bonnie Yanger. which
Friday night gave the Georgia fight
er's middleweight crown to Mickey
Walker Of New York.
The decision Miller protests. which
was generally greeted with boos at the
end of the 10-round encounter, was &C
cepted by the state board yesterday
after a review of the matter.
Walker scored two knockdowns dur
ing the bout, but Flowers was up
quickly each time.
Miller's letter to Chairman Rig
heimer follows:
II have concluded not to file any
protest with the commission in rela-
ton to the unfair referees decision
on the Walker-Flowe bout at the
Coliseum.
II am of the opinion. and this is
shared by my friends, that since a
majority of the commission were per-
sonally present and saw for them
selves, together with press reports
which uniformly agree that the de-
cision was grossly unfair, that 1T is
the duty of the commission. on Its
own motion, to Immediately reverse
the decision, which all except the ref
rec agree was manifestly unfair"
IT would have been satisfied with a
draw" Miller said later. I'm my
opinion the referee was swayed by the
yelling of the crowd. There was no
doubt that it was a Walker crowd"

In addition to the above, there Is
the interfraternity meet at Colby and

cussed, the choice of faculty ad-
visor was spoken of, and joint In

egg packing in Denmark.
Every effort of the convention will
be toward demanding legislative re-
lief for farmers, President Thompson
said in a pre-convention statement.
While 1t may be too early, said the
president, to predict what demands
organized agriculture will make on
congress. there will be no wavering
in the demand for the pas ge of
legislation designed to relieve the
farmer from the unjust punishment
he is suffering through the produce
ton Of surplus in response to the
demands of natural conditions"
During the past year not only ag-
riculture but industry and commerce
have come to realization of the
necessity of correcting the unequal
balance which has so greatly lessen
ed the power of the farmer to pur-
chase products Of industry and COM
morce. We hope to see much good in
that direction accomplished at this
convention"
While awaiting the opening of the
convention the 5000 delegates of
farm bureau declarations from nearly
every state today visited the first
farm bureau agricultural exposition,
being held in connection with the
convention.

WEEKLY review OF

New York, Dec. 5.-(P)-A selective
stock market in which number of
issues were marked up to record high
prices while few plunged to new low
levels, a record breaking total of near
Nv $3.50 900, 900 in new financing estab-
lishment of new peak price for the
year by French francs around the
four-cent level and further slump
in cotton to new low levels for the
season, divided financial interest in
this weeks markets.
Bidding up of stock prices was ia
cilitated by reduction in call money
rates, heavy reinvestment demand
for high grade issues and q series OF
favorable dividend announcements.
Bond prices also reached new high
levels in reflection of the tremendous
volume of funds seeking investment.

taken by holders of preferred stock,

francs, which carried them more than

referee GIVES
REASONS GIVING
WALKER VERDICT

chicago. Dec. 4.-R-The Illinois
state athletic commission TODAY h.o,,-
ed up the decision of Benny Yanger,
referee OF the 10-round championship
hght Friday night, which resulted in
the passing of Tiger Flowers. the
Georgia deacon, and the resurrection
OF Mickey Walker to the middleweight
throne.
:. Inc decision was so stunning that
y was booed by majority of the
io'Voo spectators and criticized today
ny nve OF Chicage's newspapers.
1ohn Rfgheimer. chairman of the
collinlsslon, accepted the statement of
ranger that his decision was strictly
honorable. Furthermore. Chairman
Righeimer let it be known in no uncer-
tam words that he personally viewed
rangers decision as an unquestionak,ly
honest verdict, but perhaps one of poor
Judgment.
walk Miller, manager Of the de-
throned middleweight champion, was
given Flowers share of the sS5.927
gate, and Jack Kearns. manager of the
middleweight titleholder, would have
been paid off, but Kearns hurriedly
left for Philadelphia to appear in the
suit on Monday against Tex Richard
involving Jack Dempsey's purse in the
light lost to Gene Tunney.
In rangers statement of reasons for
awarding the decision to Walker these
points stood out:
! Flowers slapped and cuffed with his
open glove after warning before the
start of the fight to hit with the
closed fist.
Flowers sought to claim a foul in
the fourth round, but fought viciously
when Yanger refused to recognize
foul; that Flowers attempt to claim
foul was unSportsmanlike,
Flowers opened the cash over Walk
er's left eye by butt, and that by
"ficking" with the open glove, reopen
ed the wound in each succeeding
round.
Flowers also was guilty of using the
heel of his gloves. an illegal blow
which should not be counted in the
scoring of points.
That Walker scored a clean knock
down, displayed aggressiveness and
was doing all the clean boxing.
What Flowers was guilty of sticking
the thumbs of his gloves in Walkers
eye.
Yanger, the "Tipton Slasher" of 9TH
honest performer when he was a con-
tender for championships in the light
err divisions. For several years he
has been boxing instructor at the Chi
cago Athletic Association and his hon
eStry never has been questioned.
Yanger did not know that he was to
referee until he got the nod from
Chairman Righeimer as Flowers and
the challenger crawled into the ring.
Yanger, along with. three other ref
erees, was at the ringside, and none of
them knew which would be picked.
Il gave my decision as I saw it with
clear conscience and I still feel the
same way" Yanger said in his state
ment to the commission.
The commission was not prepared
to say whether it felt 1t had power
to reverse the decision, but the indica-
tions are that such procedure would
only bring ridicule upon the govern
ing body of boxing in this state.
