Ten thousand fight fans sang "Happy Birthday to You" to former World Champion Jack Dempsey. "Dempsey, blushing and obviously flustered at the booming chorus, was presented by Al Jolson. Jolson announced that it was Jack's 37th birthday. Dempsey retorted that he was only 32. In reality it was the old champ's 52nd birthday, and a cake with lighted candles was presented in the ring."
