Two Japanese Sumo wrestlers will soon leave for the
United States to learn the gentle American art of gouge and bite.
John M. Macfarland III, pro Wrestler from Omaha,
Nebraska, announced recently at the Imperial Hotel that he has concluded
contracts with Umeno Kiyomigawa and Takeo Hayanami, both of Osaka, calling
for a six-month tour of the U.S. pro circuit.
The group will leave sometime in February for San
Francisco where the two Japanese wrestlers will undergo a short training
period before meeting opponents in the pro ring.
Macfarland is currently on a three-month Japan tour
during which he wrestled at Kanagawa Stadium in Yokohama on January 4 and
expects to make a Tokyo appearance about January 15. Following his Tokyo
bout he is scheduled to fight in Sendai in the latter part of this month.
