WRESTLERS DIVIDE HONORS

OTORI COULD NOT SCORE  - MANY GOOD CONTESTS WITNESSED

LAST CONTESTS TODAY, BUT BENEFIT EXHIBITION FOR TOMORROW

    The ninth day's wrestling bouts in the Kokugikan were attended by an overflowing crowd of spectators who filled the building to its utmost capacity. The most interesting matches of the day were those between Onogawa and Isegahama, Otori and Nishinoumi, and Hitachiyama and Tamatsubaki. But most of these interesting matches were disappointing to the spectators as they were decided as draws or no award given. In the matches the two camps won equal points.

    The present wrestling tournament at the Kokugikwan comes to an end with today's meet, and there will be no chance of seeing another exhibition of the spirited national sport until May, when the wrestlers of the two camps will meet again at the amphitheater after returning from their itinerary into the provinces.
    There will, however, be held another meet at the Kokugikwan tomorrow, which is given in aid of the Komyosan temple of Akiha, Enshu, and under the auspices of the Dai Nippon Bankyo-kai, with the support of the Tokyo Maiyu Shimbun. The admission on the occasion is reduced to half the oridnary rate, the proceeds from the day's performance going to the aid of the reconstruction funds of the temple. The Tokyo Maiyu Shimbun offers the prizes consisting of silver sake cups to the winners of the following matches:

Namino-oto vs Isegahama
Ayanami vs Kanenohana
Onogawa vs Tamatsubaki
Kohitachi vs Uranohama
