Pugilists Try to Enlist

Two British pugilists, one of them a former lightweight champion of England, presented themselves for enlistment yesterday at the offices of the British recruiting mission in New York, 280 Broadway, and were rejected as physically unfit to fight.

The former lightweight champion was Matt Wells, who lost his title to Freddie Welsh in London some years ago, and who will be remembered in local puglistic circles for a bout with Packy McFarland in New York. He also fought a number of other ring battles in the United States. He is 80 years old and proved so deaf that it was impossible to accept him.

The other British pugilist was Matt Freedman, a London featherweight, 82 years old, who was refused because of ailments which, it developed, had resulted from his having been thirty-six hours in the water after the Lusitania was torpedoed.
