COMMENT AND GOSSIP ON ATHLETICS

    It is the fattest and greatest and heaviest that wins in the most popular Japanese wrestling game. In the strictest sense jiu jitsu is not wrestling but a system of self-defense. The real sport exhibitions of which are periodically pulled off before the mikado, is for two men to come together in scanty trunks and attempt to shove each other over a mark. In this it is obvious is weight to be cultivated, and endurance. The champion of this style is Mr. Umegatani, who is now on the Pacific coast preparing to show through the country perhaps Butte. Notwithstanding Mr. Umegatani's corpulent build - and he really looks like a washerwoman on dress parade - he is said to be a very powerful man and possessed of unusual staying qualities. The emperor of Japan has often said to be very enthusiastic about this type of wrestling.
