WESTERN WRESTLERS WIN
LARGELY DUE TO PROWESS OF INVINCIBLE OTORI
The tenth day's wrestling bouts in the Kokugikwan
Sunday were fought hard, every inch being contested to the last. Thousands
of spectators who watched the game with keen attention occasionly burst
into deafening applause, and much excitement prevailed.
Among the interesting matches, that between Hitachiyama
and Umegatani was expected to be the best, as they are the chiefs of the
two camps; but it fell short of expectation owing to too careful attention
of the umpire.
During the ten day's contests the Western Camp won
more points, and the championship flag was bestowed on the chief of the
Western Camp, Umegatani. The victory of the Camp, is largely attributed
to the unconquerable Otori.
