When the summer sun beats down relent-
lessly-when the air becomes hot and
sultry-a visit to the new Frigidaire air
conditioned Peoples Drug Store will prove
a delightfully."- refreshing experience. The
Frigidaire air conditioning unit draws in the
warm, stuffy air, passes it over the chilled
surface of large cooling coil, cools the
air-at the same time, reducing humidity
by eliminating excessive moisture, and re.
moving all dirt, dust particles and pollen,
through a process of condensation. Then
this cool, dry, invigoarting air is circulated
back through the store by means of spe-
cially designed fan which creates an even,
gentle circulation without annoying drafts.

 "We've quit rotating it," Farley replied.
 Now that Farley is stepping out, who will get the chairmanship ? General Phelan, probably, but he's likely 10 be boss in name only. For it's bald eagles to clay pigeons that Farley will continue to run matters from Washington. He likes boxing and he likes the publicity and pow CT that goes with the job.
 It will be q good thing for the game if Farley does continue to
 hold the whip hand, for while box
 ing is still far from being q sweet
 and lovely business, it has improV- ed immeasurably since the big sand
 and gravel man and maker of pres idcnts from Haverstrow took it over.
 Farley's biggest single piece ot work was elimination of the foul punch. While you may argue that this ruling was nothing more than the legaiiZing of the low punch | making 1t possible for man tC win fight with well-aimed oui of bounds shot, there is not get | ting around the fact that 1t saved boxing in this state. A few more | fiascos lik those that prompted l the measure, with gladiators swoor ing all over the place from love. tops on the thigh, and boxing would have been a goner.

If he handles the mail like he did boxing. you'll soon be able to drop a letter in the box in Bangor, Me in the morning, and have it delivered in Calcutta around dark the same day. Farley was mOxing cOmmis- sioner to end all commissioners. AS matter of fact that's just what he did, for when he assumed the chair manship In 1924 the other commas sioners became every bit as import ant as the sleeves on vest. Their only contribution has been to prove that yes can be pronounced in all languages, including the Scandina- vian. Many attribute William Null doon's longevity to the exercise gained by nodding approval to Far | ley's every recommendation at the | i-weekly sessions.

FACTS, NOT FANCY
 COUNT SAYS PILOT OF FO-CHAR CLUB

Indications are that it will take a couple of Philadelphia lawyers to straighten out the differences be- tween the Etta Bettas and Fo- Chars, two teams of the YMCA: In- ter-Club League. In his latest liter ary masterpiece, Manager Martin Morrissey of the Fo-Chars takes pointed exception to a few state ments by the Etta Betta manage ment as follows:
 "In answering the charges made by the Etta Betta management, l may open by stating the Etta Betta management should obtain facts rather than merely what they think First of all they claim that Arthur Mahoney is the league sec rotary. He Is not.
 KurtZ was declared ineligible. The only body that can declare him ineligible is the protest committee. They have not done so as yet. We were to play game over with them, but Arthur Mahoney, who they claim is league secretary. was in Hartford on that night. We cal- led the "Y" on that night and were informed that there were no games posted on that night, so naturally we did not show up. We still main- tain that there was no official re- prcsentative of the Fo-Chars at the managers meeting in which the Etta Bettas were declared winners. The Etta Bettas also claim that the Y Juniors know nothing of the charges the Fo-Chars made. l may state that when the letter was written, four of the Y Juniors members read it. I may also state that no other than one of their members, the president of the league, brought the letter to the Democrat for publication.

CLOCK COHORTS

Ingersoll Quintet Unable to Secure New Haven Tele- phOne-Only One Game Listed

Failing to secure the New Haven Telephone quintet for the attrac- tion for the "Clock Shop Night" program at the Central Y. M. c. A. Friday evening, J. K. Merritt and George Schmitt of the Inger- soil plant announced this morning that Jim Kielty's Watertown Rang CTS, conqueror's of Tommy Mag ner's All-Stars by narrow margin last Friday, will be the second round Dusty league opponents.
 Only one game is listed on the Friday program, that commencing at o'clock. The proposed second game was eliminated yesterday when it was agreed that more dancing would please the Clock followers more so than two games, seeing that their interest centers chiefly around their Industrial league color-bearers.
 The Rangers have an aggressive team led by those two sharpshoot- ing forwards, Mort and Bryant Kielty, high scorers of the defunct Naugatuck Valley Amateur league. Al Jarlott, Taft luminary, will hold down the center spot with Jim Kielty and Ike Miller, the diminu- tive guards, in the rear courts. flaming and Painter will be held in reserve.

Winner of New Haven Star Bout May Earn Shot at Maxie ROsenblOOm
Especial to The DcmOcrat)

New Haven, Feb. 28-The sche- duled little bout for the New Eng land light heavyweight crown be- tween Tony Shucco, the champion, and Al Gainer, the challenger which will be presented at the New Haven Arena tomorrow night will afford the winner a meting with Maxie Rosenbloom the world champion in this class.
 Ten rounds is the route and an eight round semi final plus a couple of sizes and four com- plete the bill. The main bout is the thing however, and state and local fans are responding to the announcement of the contest in much the same manner as the populace did in the bracketing of Coco and Kaplan.
 Shucco and Gainer are natural rivals in the fight game because of their supremacy in their own sectors. A win for one of the other will afford recognition as light heavyweight challenger for the championship of the world. Succo who holds the title as the cham pion of New England has already scored decision over Rosenbloom in a non-titlt bout and has been stablished the favorite over Gain CT at odds of to 5.
 Shucco is not murderous murderous puncher, but he Is a willing mixer who has the happy faculty of smoothering opponents under such avalanches of punches that nothing short of knock out can stop him. It is on the strength of Gamers heavy hitting that he will have his share of followers.
 The semi-final looms as star attraction in itself as Steve Carr, the sensational knockout artist of Meriden, is paired with Tony Ben ito of Worcester. Eddie Moore. pleasing Park City welter, will show his wares against Richie Powers, Shucco's stablemate in a six round go. In another six round- CT Phil Baker of Norwalk meets Johnny Bellus of New Haven. In the opener of four rounds Georgie Parker, Worcester sensation of the amateurs, will mix with Gene Gre gory, popular New Haxen boy.

A hammering, slashing slugger from gong to gong, this former Cologne bricklayer, pounded his way to the championship of Eu- rope. and there's a growing belief in Cauliflower alley that he'll bat ter the world crown off Maxie Rosenbloom's curley head at Madi- son Square Garden March 10.
 Some Seeker
 His performance against Harry Ebbets in the semi-final to the tragic Primo Carnera-Ernie Schaaf bout was a revelation. The squat, dark-haired German proved su- perlative "crowd-pleaser" in de- feating Ebbets decisively for the right to meet Rosenbloom. It was one of the most savage battles ever staged in the Garden. He was given a tremendous ovation.
 While the six-day bicycle riders are circling the Garden arena this week, boxing fans are busy specu- lating on the possible reaction or Champion Slapsie Maxie to Heuser's 8 bombardment. He rains blows from all angles with the power, speed and accuracy of an over- grown Tony Canzoneri.
 Going Down
 Rosenbloom is 28. and some Of the experts believe these years are beginning to bear heavily on the Broadway playboy who does most of his training on the primrose path. Maxie was floored the other night in St Louis by Al Stillman: a virtual unknown. Some regard this trip to the canvas as tipoff. During his one year of fighting in the United States, Heuser num- bered among his victims George Nichols of Buffalo, former N. B. A. champion, and George Manley or Denver. He knocked Manley out and Manley had beaten Rosen- bloom twice in non-title bouts.
