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.
