PROPOSE WRESTLING CLUB

It is proposed to establish a club in the Kokugikan Wrestling amphitheatre, 
Ryogoku, for the benefit of Tokyo wrestlers. The suggestion has met with the 
hearty approval of the council of the Tokyo wrestling association and the 
project is expected to be materialized shortly by donations from about 80 
directors, retired wrestlers and others. It is learned that the proposed 
club will be erected in the space behind the amphitheatre and will be 
arranged to make wrestlers contented with billiards, go, chess, and other 
kinds of amusements in the hope that they may be kept in the path of virtue.
