FENCING MASTERS

under which their talked-Of fencing
match should be held
The controversy between them is the
outcome Of public challenge issued BY
NJ Darrieulat TO meet any man in the
United States with the foil or saber for

once accepted this def. under the terms
that Prof. Darrieulat waive the rules
Of the Amateur Fencers' League OF
America. uadcr which the Frenchman
wOdiG do contest. in favor OF profess
siona rules. Pavese declaring both were
professionals and would be doing the
sport an Injustice TO class themselves
as amateurs.
At least five letters have PASSED be-
tween these two indignant fencing mas
tcrs, the last OF which is from SfRnor
Pavese. in which he would make a com
promise by fencing under Italian rules
and permitting NJ Darrieulat to fence
under those of the French school. Signor

accurate. and the ball invariably drop

The passing of the Y. NJ. c. A. team

times that 1t was all the Saks players
could do to locate the leather and be-
fore the first half was ended there was
not a man on the team who was not

not. according to his idea of official
duty and responsibility. If n gov
ernor is TO be Thoroughbred par
tisan. and use his office for the pro-
motion Of partisan ends. il would be
quite in harmony with his admins
tration TO direct the campaign as

this is an almost unparalleled subor-
