Wells a Joke Champion In New York Opinion
New York February 28 local ring followers are stunned by Freddie Lakilsh losing his lightweight title and the Lord Lonsdale belt to Matt Wells after a twenty round bout at the National Sporting Club Of London. Wells spent months here last year and boxed with second and return at local clubs, gaining little attention until a scrap with Jon Howard in Chicago. The crowd blamed a low blow and Wells was labeled a quitter, then sailed for England. News of his expected Welsh match drew little interest, with some believing Welsh unfairly treated due to unpopularity and referee issues. Upon Wells returning to the United States, observers doubt he can last 233 rounds ringside, blocking potential matches with Wolgast, Moran, and other top lightweights. Welsh’s defeat removes chances for Moran and McFarland in England.

Tennis Clubs to Combine in Boston Consolidation
Boston reports the Longwood Cricket Club, the United States pioneer in lawn tennis, will consolidate with the Chestnut Hill Club in West Newton. Longwood lacks a lease on its Longwood avenue grounds, owned by the Sears family, with rent far below city taxes, and rising land value makes continued occupancy impractical. The arrangement will be closed soon, though the Longwood Club will stay at its current site for the present season.
