Futabayama Wins Osaka Tournament Without a Defeat

    His worries all over, engaged to a millionaire heiress since the last January tournament in Tokyo when not only was his winning streak of three years broken but he was beaten four times. Grand Champion Futabayama apparently is back in top form and it will be no surprise if he starts again on a long string of victories when the "Summer" season opens in Tokyo in May. He threw Champion Mayedayama without trouble Monday at Osaka to win the championship of the third annual tournament there with 13 victories out of as many bouts.
    Haguroyama, stable-mate of Futabayama was high point wrestler among those of the first ranking circle but excluding grand champions with but one defeat.
    Grand Champion Minanogawa, who was forced to enter hospital on the eighth day of the Osaka tournament because of a body injury, was able to leave the hospital Monday afternoon and is expected to be in condition to enter the tournament which starts at Kyoto on Wednesday.
