Giving Sumo Matches

    Futabayama, grand champion sumo wrestler, has been employed by the State 
Railway and will serve hereafter in the Railway General Affairs Bureau of 
the Transportation Ministry. Futabayama, whose real name is Sadakichi 
Kameyama, will travel round the Meiji area accompanied by some 20 
apprentices giving wrestling performances with the aim of entertaining the 
railway employees. "We are also ready to carry heavy luggage," said 
Futabayama, who is said to weigh more than 35 kan.
