WRESTLERS ARE WARMING UP
TACHIYAMA IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS NO BLACK MARK SO FAR
The "regulars" at the Ryogoku Amphitheater has a
strong effective and vociferous support from a large contingent of those
carefree men who were there yesterday for a thorough enjoyment of life
taking advantage of the employees' holiday. The house was filled with a
human mass as well as human voice jumping way up out of the staccato note.
The thermometer rose high, recording the atmospheric as well as nerve temperature
with in the great building.
The youthful Ayagawa of the Hitachiyama clan was
dealt the first defeat of the season by Kurosegawa. Powerful and bombarding
Utsunomiya, who had been maintaining a perfectly clean record, and the
only one to do so in the Western Camp, was lifted out of the honor for
his first biting of the dirt.
The gentlemen of the portly body and uncomfortably
developed dimensions, Nishinoumi was taken advantage of his bodily proportions
by the light weight artist, Tamateyama. The featherweight got a jump on
him first and took the under-hold. In the crash of the opposing powers,
the two made a dog-fall. Tachiyama still remains impregnable; none has
yet succeeded in defending or eluding the crushing blows of his iron muscles.
On the sixth day the Eastern Camp materially narrowed
the lead gained by the Westerners, by capturing nine matches against six
points made by the opposing camp.
