WRESTLER GOES TO BUY U.S. IRON
Material for New Kokugikan Does Not Arrive - So Dewanoumi Goes to Fetch It
The iron material to be used for the reconstruction
of the Kokugikan wrestling hall at Ryogoku, which was destroyed by fire
last winter, was ordered from America through a certain middleman,, but
though expected to have arrived already has not arrived.
The wrestlers association decided recently to procure
a supply in the home market, but negotiations failed owing to the scarcity
of available stock and high prices.
The association has therefore decided to send wrestler
Dewanoumi to America on a mission to purchase the necessary material in
the American market.
Dewanoumi went to America several years ago and
is acquainted with that country, so that the choice has fallen to him.
He will start on the mission in the latter part of next July.
