Wrestling Society Directors Resign

   Six directors tendered resignation from the Tokyo Wrestling Association, on February 19, in connection with the existing troubles between the directors and wrestlers. Dewanoumi, senior director, is endeavouring to mediate, but Ikazuchi, one of the directors, formally reported his resignation to the Metropolitan Police Board on the following day, while the other directors appear to be following suit. The officials of the Police Board have stated that the troubles will shortly be settled, but the prevailing conditions are likely to continue in Tokyo wrestling circles for some time.
