European Sword Champions Fight
Thrilling Duel for Three Hours
Budapest, Nov. 18.—No fencing
match in the Olympic games was
as exciting as the duel which
took place in the barracks of the
Sixth Hungarian Regiment in
Nagy-Kanizsa, a Hungarian town
half way between Budapest and
Venice, when George Kovacs,
Hungarian fencing champion and
judge at the Olympic games, met
his greatest rival, the Italian
champion, Oreste Pulitti, in an
affair of honor. *
Hungarian Protests.
At the Paris Olympic games the
Hungarian had protested that the
Italian entrants were not playing
fair. As a result, Pulitti insulted
Kovacs in Paris and Kovacs de
manded satisfaction. Hungary was
selected as the meeting ground be
cause Hungary alone cbndones
dueling today.
Pulitti’s seconds demanded that
’ the duel be fought with heavy
pointed swords, without bandages,
! and Kovac’s that stabbing be P ermitted -
seconds obtained a
promise. When the two
pions faced each other,
GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
pointed swords were used, the
men were stripped to the waist,
and their wrists and throats were
bandaged.
3-Minute Rests.
An agreement signed by both
parties established a three minute
rest after each ten minutes of
fighting- and rest at the seconds’
demand in cast of a wound for a
decision whether the duelists were
competent to continue.
Italian Wounded.
Dr. Herschman, of Vienna, was
appointed physician.
The first i two rounds were
fought without a serious clash.
It soon became clear that Pulitti
could not touch the left-handed
Kovacs. He tried to cut Kovacs’
hand, but without success. Sud
denly Kovacs slit open Pulitti’s
ear, but the physician decided it
i was. not serious, ......................
| 1 In the fifth round Kovacs cut
Pulitti’s glove in two. No further
| wounds occurred, but Pulitti was
(constantly driven to the wall. In
the seventeenth round the
of both duelists were twisted
of shape, At the end of the
eighteenth round Dr.
addressed the duelists, saying:
Doctor Stops Duel.
Gentlemen, you have fought
the most masterly duel any one
here -has ever seen. As you both
showed courage, chivalrous satis
!• faction, I think, has been fully
reached. Therefore, I suggest
you cease and become reconciled,
naturally on condition that Signor
Pulitti apologizes. * •
After a moment’s hesitation,
Pulitti, who was suffering from
his wounds, stretched out his
hand, which Kovacs seized, while
the spectators cheered.
