Somehow or other the writer has the feeling that Dempsey has a trump card up his slecve, placed there by California promoters. Suppose, for example, the New York body puts the champion on the blacklist and a Gibbons-Wills fight is steamed up? Well, arrangements for a Dempsey-Gibbons fight on the coast, the writer hears, are further along than most folks realize and since there aré ample accommodations out there and plenty of money and hosts of fans, New York.,could not make any more attractive bid for the fight, than could, say, Los Angeles.
