A.F.L.A. COMPETITIONS IN N.Y.C.
National Outdoor Individual Epee Championship – 22 Entries – June 5th
This annual outdoor championship again ran into bad weather and once more we witnessed the event held indoors. Tracy Jaeckel of the Fencers Club seemingly dogged by fate in the past and forced several times to accept second place honors in Championship competition clearly led the field this day to win the Arthur S. Lyon medal which goes with this Championship. Jose de Capriles of the Salle Santelli was second and Robert Driscoll of the Fencers Club was third while Miguel de Capriles, defending champion, surprisingly failed to survive the semi-finals.
Finals
Tracy Jaeckel (Fencers Club) defeated Driscoll 3-0, Von Munchaussen 3-2, de Capriles 3-2 and Armitage 3-2.
Jose de Capriles (Salle Santelli) defeated Lewis 3-0, Driscoll 3-1 and Armitage 3-1.

Norman Lewis (Salle Santelli) defeated Jaeckel 3-1 and Von Munchaussen 3-1 (11 touches against, 9 touches for).
