With the wrestling season only six more days to run before its end the Kokugikan stadium is attracting large number of spectators every day since its opening four days ago.
    Dewagatake, the giant sumotori, is still the main attraction in the daily program. His record is being keenly watched and much betting is going on.
    One great surprises came in yesterday's wrestling when Tsurugahama, one time champion of both the East and west sides, met defeat in the hands of Nishikinada, a new wrestler. The great days of Tsurugahama who has been in the ring for more than eight years is passing swiftly away. His repeated defeats disclose that his muscles are not functioning as in past seasons. He will probably leave the ring before next year to act as a director of the sumo troupe.
    The bout between Ikedagawa and Iwakigawa was one of the spectacular tussles in yesterday's program. To the very last Ikedagawa had the advantage over his opponent and thinking he would win without any doubt Iwakigawa loosened up a little. But that wa enough: the next instant Ikedagawa through some skillful work had Iwakigawa flat on the dirt.
    for the second time this season Dewagatake lost yesterday. He was matches against Usuigawa, a small, but skilled wrestler. Though caught in the grip of Dewagatake's strong arms two times Usuigawa miraculously pulled his body out from danger. Dewagatake lost patience at being twice cheated out of victory and decided he would make a quick finish of the tussle by pushing Usuigawa out of the ring. That was the culmination of the end. Usuigawa moved swiftly away from his opponent, tripped the giant and the contest ended.
