Wrestlers Lose

    Minanogawa and Maedayama, popular sumo wrestlers, who are at present touring Fukushima Prefecture and giving performances there to raise funds for the Shimane Prefectural Homeguard Association, each recently met with accidents. Maedayama lost his personal belongings when the inn where he was staying burned down while Minanogawa lost his precious ornamental apron, which was given to him by his boss Sadogashima, in the fire.
