Musashimaru falls,
Akebono perfect

OSAKA, Japan -- Musashimaru was dealt his first loss today, leaving grand champion Akebono and Takanonami, each 6-0, the only undefeated wrestlers in the 15-day Spring Grand Sumo Tournament.

Akebono, or Chad Rowan from Hawaii, shoved out Akinoshima and Takanonami toppled Kotoryu.

Konishiki, or Salevaa Atisanoe from Hawaii, picked up his first win, fording out Misugisato, but Yamato, or George Kalima from Hawaii, lost to Higonoumi.
