NEW LIST OF WRESTLERS

ORDER OF PRECEDENCE OF THE SUMO-TORI THIS YEAR

CROWDS WAITED TILL DAWN TO GET THE PRECIOUS DOCUMENT

    The eagerly awaited new list of the Tokyo wrestlers was published yesterday at dawn. In front of the house of the publisher, Jiemon Negishi, Matsuzaka-cho, Honjo, hundreds of wrestlers and messenger boys had assembled during the night waiting for the list, which fixes the precedence of the wrestlers for the season. When the doors were opened at 5 a.m., they carried away the publication in batches of 100 or 1,000 copies, and 102,000 copies were distributed in two hours.
    The wrestling match will begin May 16, weather permitting, and provided the proverbial dispute does not delay the opening. The new list of the wrestlers of "inside the curtain" is as follows:
