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.
