NEW YORK, April 5.-A pair Of 21-year r-old dusky skinned battlers who have been massaging the chins of American boxers for year or so, soon will try their punches on the champions in their divisions.
 Kid Chocolate, late of the streets of Havana, meets Bushy Graham, recognized in New York as the bantamweight champion in what is expected to be a title bout, while Santiago Gorilla, former jungle boy of Panama, meets Tod Morgan for the junion lightweight crown. The former contest is booked for New York and the latter for Los Angeles.
 That may not be big news to the boxing public but it's mighty important tidings to these two lit- tie fellows who knew nothing but poverty until they began capitaliz- ing on their ring ability.
 The Kid and Santiago are just a pair of Shifty, hard-hitting boxers who love to fight and who have not been spoiled by the modern GUS tom which has caused many of the leather tossers to emphasize fi- nances instead of fistcuffs.
 Chocolate has been a sensation ever since he began showing around New York year ago. He is one of the biggest drawing cards ir the metropolis and many of the small clubs where he started owe their very existence to his pull with the fans He has whipped most of the men of his weight in the east and has netted around $30,00C in 20 bouts. The "Keed'' was sell ing papers for a living in Havana l8 months ago.
 Gorilla came into the American ring with more color than Choco- late. He came from a native fam fly and had plenty of background to insure first class ballyhoo. They bill him as the jungle boy who speared fish for living and this coupled with his natural fightinf ability. has made him senSatior on the cost. That fish spearine angle certainly does help the pro- motors spear the fans.
 The Chocolate Graham scrap tc be 12 rounds to a decision, vii dedicate a new indoor arena seat ing 32,0O0. Morgan and Zorills are billed for 10 rounds in ths Olympic auditorium at Los Angeles

JONES TELLS OF COAL PROPERTY
 TO WESTWARD

Evan Jones, President of the Pio- neer Coal Company, located in the Matanuska region near Anchorage, arrived here on the last steamer from the Westward and is going south in the near future to buy equipment for further development of the property The holdings, said MT. Jones, show conservative evidence that in the not far distant future the mine, along with others in the Matanuska field, will be pro- ducing all the coal needs of the Territory.
 The Pioneer property was acquir- ed about year ago by a group of Westward business men headed by Jones, who for several years past has been actively engaged in coal mining in the north Since the property was taken a main shaft

'SALL|ES' APPEAL
 F0R HOLIDAY HELP
Sad Christmas, Hard Winter
 ForeSeen by Ensign Connor
SEAL SALE PROGRESSING
Early Returns Show 55,OOO Pur- chased-Shrine Ceremonial To- morTow-Dr. Mccartney to Speal. on Child's Needs.

Ensign Jack Connor of the local branch of the Salvation Army said in an interview this morning that moro people are now seeking ail than ever before, many for the first time in their lives. The ensign added that he thought the reason for this great want of help could be easily attributed to the present business depression which has lef, large number of men without en- ployment and many homes without food. His complete statement was as follows:
 T anticipate that this will be q record year for relief work in this city. There seem to be many more appeals for help than ever before. Some who have never had to ask for help before see no prospects of having pleasant Christmas unless help is accorded them. After all. what does Christmas mean If not to show the spirit of the day to those who are less fortunate than we are? The cold snap has brough. many appeals for coal, food and clothing. These needs cannot be met without the aid of the general public. Another feature of the Salvation Army is that no matter what the color or creed may be, it makes no difference. The army is undenominational and unprejudic- cd"
 Tree For Riddles
 The ensign went on to say. "Bc- sides the Christmas dinners to be given out to the needy. there will be a tree for the Riddles and toys. There have been many pathetic ap- pcals from the children ?ddresso. ] 10 Santa Claus. Some tell of fla thers being sick or mothers strus gling to make both ends meet, ask ing for shoes or clothing, or per haps, a toy for baby"
 Kettles On Streets
 The Salvation Army kettles will be placed on the streets tomorrow, Ensign Connor demarked. and the army has high hopes that the public will give generously to it's cause.
 Campaigns for aims in recent years have been successful and the ensign desires to repeat this Christ mas. It is though that at least 90 complete dinners will be given 10

 team are asked to be at the hall to discuss the possibilities of a league

 possibility of having an intermCdi- ate team to represent the town in

This league is to be made up of juniors, or all those who have not yet reached the age of 16 years. The intermediates include those be-
 tween the ages of 16 and IS years. All interested are asked to be in l'r&ternal hall this evening. The attitude of the boys will indicate whether or not it is possible to have basketball this year. If there is q sufficient demand it will be ar ranged.
