Another Sumo Champ Toppled to Defeat
Hopes for an undefeated
performance in the current spring sumo tournament in Tokyo were dashed
yesterday for champion (Ozeki) Tochinishiki, who was tumbled in his 11th
day match by Asashio.
However, Tochinishiki
kept in the race for individual honors with Grand Champion (Yokozuna) Kagamisato
with 10 wins and one loss each. Grand Champion Chiyonoyama dropped his
bout yesterday to mark up his second black mark for the tourney.
