NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Harry Mortimer, fencing for the Olympic Club, captured the three-weapon divisional championship at the Oakland Fencing Club on May 16. Out of a field of eleven Mortimer reached the finals with his clubmate, Alfred R. Snyder; and that deciding bout went to Mortimer by a score of 2-3, 3-2, 3-2.
Two competitions were held outdoors at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, on August 24—a handicap foils tournament for women and a men’s three-weapon meet. Miss Bernadette Fratessa, unattached, triumphed over a field of thirteen to take first place in the women’s foil competition; with Miss Norma Perotti, Young Italian Club, finishing second, and Miss Margie Nevis, Funke Fencing Academy, third.
Salvatore Giambra, Young Italian Club, won the men’s three-weapon contest, defeating the other finalist, Lawrence Bocci of the same club, by an 8-5 score. There were twelve fencers competing.
