SANTELLI INVITATION TOURNAMENT
Miss Helena Mroczkowska, National Women’s Foil Champion, made a clean sweep of her nine bouts in the Santelli Invitation Tournament for women held at the Court of Sports of the New York World’s Fair. Miss Dorothy Grimmelmann took second place with six wins and three losses, while Miss Barbara Cochrane took third on touches over Miss Mary Ann Harris each with five wins and four losses. This contest, a round-robin of ten girls, was sponsored by the New York World’s Fair under the supervision of the Salle Santelli. The Director of Athletics of the Fair presented each of the competing fencers with a World’s Fair Certificate of Award, while George Santelli is donating medals to the winners of the first three places.
