Description
Practically unbeatable to date was Jack Dempsey, the Mannass Mauler, but after three rounds with a pair of chopsticks, his friends threw in the towel. This photo was taken at Lau Yee Chai a Waikiki restaurant and night club, shows Dempsey with friends from the Mainland who now live in Honolulu. They are, from left to right: Al Karasick, wrestling promoter; Duke Kahanamoku; Dempsey; Moose, owner of a gymnasium in San Francisco; and Mrs. Al Karasick.
