Japanese Wrestlers' Campaign to North-China

    Not a warlike campaign but one of peace or rather of business has been undertaken by the Osaka wrestlers. The troupe comprising 30 men in all left Osaka for Tientain on the 29th, with the idea of making an itinerant tour and giving wrestling performances at all those places where the allied troops are quartered. This is a shrewd idea and we hope for the success of this enterprise.

    The wrestler's company including Hitachi and Umenotani now giving performances at Mito will next visit Yokohama, that is about the 7th, and will give an exhibition for 7 days. After returning to Tokyo the company will proceed into the country.
