Grand Sumo Tourney Opens
![]() |
Big time sumo interests Sunday had an unpleasant
disappointment as the 15-day Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament opened at the
Kokugikan at Kuramae, Tokyo.
They had hoped to draw bigger crowds by setting
the close of the day's program at 8 p.m., three hours later than heretofore.
However, it was not until 5 p.m. that the arena stands were filled to capacity.
Shown is Tsunenoyama toppling Futatsuryu in one
of the exciting bouts of the day.
