N TO more dirty, mud-clogged over
M shoes! Here's an overshoe that
- you can clean instantly-no
matter how dirty it is! Dash pail of,

faucet-and every trace of mud washes
quickly off it's smooth rubber surface.
When you have to 60 out for wood, or
TO milk, or for any Of those dozens of odd
jobs around the place-you want an
overshoe that you can slip on and off in
hurry. Here it is-buckle it on in

your toe when you're through.

glad of the soft, fieecy lining in this new
overshoe that keeps your feet warm and
comfortable. Dry, too-it's absolutely
watertight.

 The American legion arena will be attired in it's holiday garb today in anticipation of entertaining a banner crowd of sport enthusiasts. Every provision has been made for the com fort of the fans and the management will endeavor to run off the show like cloekwork
 The first preliminary will be staged promptly at 2:30 D. m. with the Lewis Twins appearing in a four-round ex- hibition that will appeal to all lovers of the pugilistic art. Two four round affairs vii follow the Twins. The first will introduce Young Arnold and Char | lie Chaplin, who will swap punches at 110 pounds. while the second will bring together Frank Romo and Rufus the | Second at 120 pounds.
 The semi-final will be a six-round session that promises to develop into a main event. In this bout Battling Sam and Gregory Rives will try to set l tie their differences for all time. They are rivals in the same training camp and have been anxious to get together to ascertain who was the better man Sam is well known and has a host oi | friends here, while the Mex" will bring

Nogales Elks Will Stage Fight Card
 For Poor of City

Nogales lodge No. 1897, the baby Elk lodge of the southwest, will start the New Year off right with a benefit boxing exhibition on the afternoon of January l. The net receipts of the boxing show will be placed in a fund for the poor of Nogales.
 The members of Nogales Fig lodge are working hard to make their initial benGfit entertainment financial suc- cess and have signed two clever light weights to top off the card. Lee Nor rissey, the lad who claims No titles, but can whip the man who doesIs will meet Al McManus of Los Angeles in a scheduled 10-round bout. Neither Nor Yssey or McManus lay any claims to championship caliber but they give the crowd a fight any time they step through the ropes.
 Morrissey has been going for several years and never sidestepped a bout since his first preliminary. He fights all the time and against the best of them.
 McManus was a big attraction al Tucson when the fight game first opened in Arizona, and he can be cred | ited with a big part in making the game popular in the old Pueblo. Two good prelminaries, one six and one four round bout, will complete the card. The Nogales Elks are making g | campaign to sell out the house with reservations on sale at the MonteZums hotel, Nogales. Local sports planning on a trip to the border on New Years can make reservations for the benefit
 bout by wiring the Nogales Elks clut | or MonteZuma hotel.

Phat Willie Meehan, the only boxer in the game today who has the distinc ton of fighting in every weight divi- sion, has annexed enough flesh to bat tie in the heavyweight division-and can truthfully tell the world that he beat Jack Dempsey to four-round decision. Meehan started in the game a mere strip of a kid balancing the beam at 9S pounds. He gradually worked his way up through the heavier divisions till he landed in the heavy weight class, where white hopes are in the majority and champions come few and far between.
 During the war Meehan filled Q sailor suit for Uncle Sam and not only fought for his Uncle but fought for the cham pionship of the navy. He defeated everything that came his way, includ- l ing Jack Dempsey. He travelled from coast to coast and ocean to ocean swapping punches with anyone who feared 10 take him on.
 The lady fans "falr' for Willie, not on account of his manly figger, but he possesses a beautiful voice and sings ike a Caruso. It's not an uncommon 1 thing for Meehan to entertain with l My Wild Irish Rose or "The River Shannon 'or some other age old mu- sical design. He steps out between | rounds and exercises his W1nOplpeS with song Or two-and win or lose he is always there with smile at tho finish. The fat boy is popular every. where he is known, which means throughout the country.

 Matchmaker McAhren to give him { chance to show the home town folk. what he could do Mac wired the coas for the best heavy available. The onl,

Both boys are well known in Fennicks l fight circles. each holding a decision over Battling Scotty, a tough boy on his own account. Mack has never dis played his kayo punch in Phoenix, but he has an eight-inch wallop that beats anything ever shown here. Gardner also carries a wallop, as evidenced by his defeat of Happy Woods.
