Aldo Nadi, who would rank with D'Artagnan if he (Nadi) lived in that Romantic period, is pictured in New York as he rehearses for his U.S. debut in fencing. Nadi, acknolwdged the world's best swordsman by European masters, will make his bow here against George Santelli, National Open Champion and John R. Huffman, National Amateur Weapon Champion. Nadi, a lieutenant of the Italian Cavalry, is undefeated in ten years, many of which included affairs of honor in which blood was drawn.
