WRESTLERS IN TODAY'S BOUT

CHANGES IN MATCHES - RESULTS IN SHOW GAIN OF EAST

    Surprises sprung in the first three days drew another full-house crowd to the Ryogoku Amphitheater yesterday, though the program was shy of attractive matches.
    Champion Hitachiyama has decided to remain out of the contests during the rest of the season, on account of sickness. Three wrestlers of the Western Camp, who have been staying out of the ring, reported yesterday as recovered from sickness and will appear in the ring beginning today.
    The Eastern Camp took a brace and captured eight bouts, while the other side failed to win more than four. The gulf between the contesting sides has been narrowed, and the race for the pennant is closer.
    The results of the more important matches on the fourth day were as follows:

Eastern Camp Western Camp
Asahiyama Ayakawa*
Yamadagawa* Nihonkai
Shakagatake* Hakkozan
Jindate Tateshio*
Kantamago* Ikarigata
Yatakayama Ryogoku*
Mifunegata* Shiunryu
Unryu Toshuzan*
Hiranoishi* Kohitachi
Tamateyama* Tsushimanada
Tamatsubaki Saganoumi*
Orochigata Asashio*
Isenohama* Konishiki
Kurosegawa (draw) Nishinoumi
Tachiyama* Ayanami
Akashiryu* Chitosegawa
Karumogawa* Onogawa
Midorishima Utsunomiya*
Uranohama Ryugasaki*
Otori* Sakuragawa
Umegatani (draw) Shikainami

    The program for today shines with some headline attractions. "Ozeki" Komagatake will make his first appearance of the season and measure his strength with the clever Tamateyama. Probably the best attraction will be the match between Isenohama and Nishinoumi, both in the first position of each camp.
