Osaka's Wrestlers To Tour America
Forty-two picked wrestlers from the Osaka Wrestling
Association, headed by Manager Asashiyama, will cross the Pacific to make
an exhibition tour through the United States. The party will leave Osaka
on July 6 and will embark on the T.K.K. liner Shinyo Maru from Yokohama
on July 11.
The proposed trip will be the second trip of its
kind for the Osaka group of wrestlers. Six years ago, a similar group of
Japanese wrestling giants were taken to America under the direction of
Asashiyama, and made quite a hit.
The party this year will go direct to San Francisco
without stopping at Hawaii, and, after touring throughout America, mostly
along the Pacific coast, will return to Japan the latter part of October.
