Abstract: Loehr and Warrington introduced partitional statistics mboxctotfracqp(D) and mboxmiddfracqp(D) and provided formulas for these statistics in terms of the boundary graph of the Young diagram D. In this paper we give a bijective proof of Loehr-Warrington's formulas using the following simple combinatorial observation: given a Young diagram D and two numbers a and l, the number of boxes in D with the arm length a and the leg length l is one less than the number of boxes with the same properties in the complement to D. Here the complement is taken inside the positive quadrant or, equivalently, a very large rectangle.
