Drawing wide attention of sumo fans throughout the country, the much awaited summer sumo tourney of the Japan Professional Sumo Association will be held for 10 days at the specially constructed ring of the Nile Kinnick Stadium (formerly Meiji Shrine Grounds), Tokyo.
    Prior to the opening of the 10 day main tournament, the new rankings for wrestlers on the roster of the association will be announced on May 26.
    Akinoumi, "yokozuna," who has already expressed his intention to resign from the sumo ring, will stage his last official sumo match on June 11 when a farewell meet is held at the same ring.
