LOCAL AND GENERAL
Owing to the destruction of the wrestling hall at
Ryogoku, the January wrestling matches will be held in the grounds of the
Yasukuni Shrine at Kudan, commencing January 11. After a long discussion,
the above decision was passed at a conference of the directors of the Tokyo
Wrestling Association held Sunday. A temporary arena will be constructed,
which will furnish covered stands for about eight thousand spectators.
It is said that the committee made application on Sunday afternoon to the
Department of War, to which the grounds of the shrine belong, for permission
to rent the space.
