PARTY OF SUMO EXPERTS LEAVING FOR UNITED STATES

    America is shortly to be invaded by a party of Japanese sumotori, who are leaving Yokohama on July 11 to perform in the United States. The party will consist of forty two, thirty four wrestlers and managers, treasurer, two announcers and a barber. The barber has been included in the retinue because of the special kind of hairdressing affected by the sumotori.
