[sumo] Takamisakari coming back?

[Jim Bitgood]

The schedule for Sunday doesn't show his name. Maybe some time after 
Sunday. But I think he should take as long as he needs to heal. The 
prospects of a healthy Takamisakari for the long term SHOULD mean 
more to the Kyokai than the short term loss of ticket sales for this basho.
