With Gloves
Challenger Is Stiff PunCher
and May Stop Lad
From Coast.
BILLED FOR IS ROUNDS
BY FRANK GETTY,
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Tod Nor
gan, dark haired little fellow from
the west coast, who for the past
four years has defended the junior
lightweight title as a true champion
should, may reach the end of his
reign over the 130-pounders tonight,
by the fists Of walloping Bonnie
Bass of Philadelphia.
The challenger figures to whip
Morgan on points or stop the cham
pion before the end of the scheduled
fifteen rounds.
If Tod goes down to defeat and
returns to his Avocado ranch, he
will leave behind a worthy record
of a titleholder who was willing to
fight in defense of his crown.
Since he won the 130-pound
championship by stopping Mike
Ballerino back in 1925, Morgan has
engaged in sixteen title fights, most
of them tough ones. He has had his
ears battened down once or twice
In that time, fighting lightweights
like Phil McGraw and Stanislaus
Loayza, but he has always been will
ing and ready and able to fight,
which is more than can be said for
most of our champions Of recent
years.
Bonnie Bass, who is a to 5 IA
Vorite to take Tod'S title, is a busy
two-fisted little slugger who can box
as well when he needs to. Bass
prefers rough going, and is quite a
body puncher, style which should
be effective against the none-too-
rugged champion.
Morgan has not been impressive
in recent appearances in the east,
and so is one of the few cham
pions to enter the ring on the short
end of the betting.
It will be the first championship
fight y, Madison Square Garden for
fift( months.

However, they say that the Pitt
forward pass defense is not every

the case, Southern California may
slip one over. Pitt has a great run

the country, but Pitts forward pass

the game through her overhead at

There is one thing that Southern
California will have to guard against
and that is Staleness from an over

"Sockeye' Kelly and "Kettlebelly" Simpson, who appear in Some where in Sonora" First Nationals feature starring Ken Maynard, at the Palace Saturday only.
 Bob Bishop, played by Ken May hard, might be likened to D'Artag- nan of the Three Musketeers, while "Kettlebelly" Simpson, o h rwise Ben Corbett, resembles Porthos for reasons obvious in the characters name. "Sockeye" Kelly, or Monty Montague in real life, isn't quite as dainty as Aramis, but as loyal to his pals as the other two muske- teers.
 Maynard as dashing and as bold as the daring Gascon in Dumas novel, sets forth, with his two pals from Arizona to Mexico, with the intention of finding the lost son of a very dear friend of theirs. The adventures they meet with and the sensational escapades they go thru is said to make one of the most thrilling action pictures screened thus far by Charles R. Rogers.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN IS
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

"The Gold Rush." Charlie Chap lin's screen feature at the Coliseum tonight under 8 United Artists Cor poration release, is a symbolical autobiography by Chaplin himself.
 With the genius which is pecul- iarly his own, and against the background of old Klondike gold rush days of Chaplinesque concep- ton, the greatest screen comedian has depicted with subtly tender and delicate masterstrokes tn e struggle of mans eternal hunt for happiness, it's heartbreaks and tears and it's laughter and joy.
 Charlie Chaplin of the derby, the cane and baggy trousers, funny mustache and waddling walk who has made the whole world laugh more than any other mere come dian that ever lived, has built in "The Gold Rush" delightful structure of fun and laughter.
 On the tragedy and misery suf- fered by the pioneers who first journeyed to the ice-bound Alaska, and on the drama of the soul suf- ferings of the sourdough who braved the mountains, ice, snow and star vation and death in their mad rush for gold, Chaplin has built the funniest and most hilarious com- edy of his career.
 He has clad himself in the role ->s hard-luck sourdough who chases rainbows of the soul and heart in the midst of mob that chases one thing only-gold and nothing but gold Pathos and suf- fering are converted into comedy and laughter-there is a laugh in every one of the eight thousand or so feet of "The Gold Rush"

ANNUAL LOSSES IN ALASKA FROM PREDAT0RS HUGE
Nearly Million Do liar s Worth of Game and Fur
 Bearers Destroyed

Close to a million dollars worth of game and fur bearing animals are killed annually in Alaska by predatory animals, such as the coyotes, timber wolves, wolverines and eagles, according to an inter esting report prepared by R. K. Stewart, leader of the predatory animal control in the Territory.
 MT. Stewait's report follows:
 Tn the Islands of the Alexander Archipelago, there are more thar 400 timber wolves. These preda- tors kill more than 50 deer each year. Considering that some of these deer would die during the winter time because of the deep snow and that some would be killed where they would not be of eco homie value, the damage may be conscrvatiyely placed at well above $75, ,O00 annually. Certainly every deer taken by hunters is worth $15 in food value With the exception of a very few deer in the vicinity of Cordova, in the Third Division, there are no deer in Interior Alas ka.
 Considering the damage in this great body of Alaska among the moose, caribou, sheep, and so forth, it should be borne in mind that predators occur over nearly all of l.the area and are constantly com hitting more or less depredations among the desirable animals every where.
 Wolves, Coyotes, Eagles Prey
 The killing of moose and cari- bou is chiefly done by wolves, al- though there is some a m g e among the calves by coyotes. The sheep are heavily preyed upon by both wolves and coyotes, chiefly the latter where their infestation is heavy on the sheep ranges. Eagles kill many lambs.
 Most of the damage to the fox family is done by coyotes, although wolves kill a considerable number. Tn many large sections where coy- otes have occurred over a period of 4 or more years, the foxes are en- tirel ykilled off. In some large sections, the predatory animals kill many times more foxes than are taken by trappers in the same areas.
 Conservative Estimate
 The damage to beaver is chiefly done by wolverine and wolves. The

Attractions At Theatres
SILK STOCKINGS" AT
 PALACE TONIGHT

Laura La Plante is at the Palace tonight in silk Stockings"
 This is @ comedy which skits along the border of tragedy but never touches it, and is hence su- perbly funny. Miss La Plante, as a result, has taken a firmer hold than ever on her title as the screens greatest comedienne.
 Universal's beautiful, be-dimpled, blonde star, is a perfect trouper, a thing more necessary in the com edy field than in straight drama.
 The story is logical and concerns the troubles of newly married couple their little spats and their decision to air their differences in a divorce court. Of course, they don't get a divorce.
 John Harron is cast as the young husband. He is young, full of the fire of youth and unsophisticated, the perfect characterization for this role
 Otis Harlan as the attorney for both parties is extremely ludicrous The court sequence, by the way, is about the funniest bit of work that has ever been seen on the screen.
 William Austin is humorous as ever and Marcella Daly is delect- able as the vamp. Heinie Conklin is funny watchman while Burr Mcintosh, as the sober judge is unbeatable.
