ring at Ardmore tonight to face
Battling" frankie Nelson, the Ho-

best physical condition of his long
career within the ropes and the fans
OF the Capital will see the best bout
that has been staged at the popular
Maryland club since the Cortez-
Lowe affair few months ago.
Nelson comes to Washington
fresh from long series of tough
battles in New York, Philadelphia,
and New England. He is rough
customer. always willing to give and
take, with knowledge of ring tao
ties and head to direct every en-
deavor.
The Washington boy. Lowe, has
been in the squared circle for ten
years and he is as good now as ever
he was in the days when he was

This trouble was always severe and

idea was to equip a soldier with a pair
of shoes that would wear long. The
stoutness and durability of the shoe
