FUTABAYAMA LOSES AGAIN
Defeat of Akinoumi Leaves Itsutsushima As Only Undefeated Wrestler
Tokyo, Wednesday, May 15, 1940

    Futabayama, the grand Champion of the East camp, was pushed out of the ring without difficulty by Sakuranishiki to suffer his second defeat in the present summer sumo tourney on tuesday.
    The sensational bout was started after the Grand Champion and Sakuranishiki made nine false starts. The fiery Sakuranishiki dashed with lightning quickness against Futabayama, whose absent-minded defense proved too weak to stem the fierce attack. He was pushed out of the ring in no time, causing wild excitement among the spectators.
    Akinoumi, who had won five straight victories until Sunday, was defeated with beautiful body throw by Tatekabuto. Itsutsushima, of the West side, is now the only unbeaten wrestler having defeated Shachinosato.
