STAR THEATER Heppner, Oregon Doney Refuses to Sign New Contract Louis Doney, local leather pusher, is a holdout and for a good reason. He refuses to sign a contract to put on the gloves in the forthcoming Firemen's smoker until a certain misstatement has been corrected. The error was committed in last week's issue of the Gazette Times when it was stated that the Doney. Partlow fight was called1 off due to an injury to Partlow's arm. The record shows that Partlow was about "out" after a few rounds of pummeling by Doney and the re feree awarded the fight to Doney on a technical knockout This paper is glad to give credit where credit is due and trusts that this explana tion will clear the way for Doney to put his name on a contract and enter training for his next bout.
