FIGHT ON THE COAST
Gibbons Thinks That Is Where the Next Heavyweight Title Bout Will Be Held.

St, Paul, March 13.-The next bout for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world will be held on the Pacific coast, if Jack Dempsey, titleholder, plays the lead ing role, in the opinion of Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul aspirant for heavy weight honors, who resumed training today after two weeks layoff
 Gibbons said he believes that the New York boxing commissions de mand that Dempsey either accept or reject the challenge of Harry Wills, will result in the title bout being held in California.
 Dempsey will never accept Wills challenge to box in New York, Tommy thinks. He is of the opinion that Dempsey if prohibited from boxing in New York through refusing 10 meet Wills, will accept a Pacific coast offer to meet Gibbons in championship fight.
