TACHIYAMA STILL INVINCIBLE

"YABUIRI KOZO" KEEP SUMO GOING SOME

    The second day of the annual Employees Holiday resulted in the generous patronage of the wrestling matches at the Ryogoku Amphitheater yesterday.
    Exthusiasm keep going up as the season approaches the end. Three are three days left to decide the race for the pennant. The Western Camp is putting up a gallant fight to maintain its lead against the strenuous bombardment of the opposing camp. The margin between the two contesting parties remain the same as yesterday, as they split even by taking eight bouts.
    Asashio, who is the only wrestler with a chance of subduing the invincible Tachiyama, failed yesterday to make good. The Champion allowed him first to get the best hold with his his right hand. Then with his power of a bull, he flung the game young wrestler aside and pushed him down on the ground.
