TOKYO, Japan (INS) - Japan's champion wrestler quit the country's wrestling association Monday because of the criticism that resulted when he skipped an important tournament and went to see a baseball game.
    Sumo Wrestling Champ Kanematsu Maedayama played hookey from the big autumn grunt and groan tourney in Osaka to watch the visiting San Francisco Seals play a Japanese nine.
    And since baseball is wrestling's big rival in Japan, Maedayama's bosses severely criticized him. His resignation followed.
