OTHERS TALK
Herbert Westberg Says
“Delaney Won, But
He Lost”—Terrible,
Declares Frank Fay
Norwalkers who attended the
Jack Delaney-Paul Berlenbach fight
in Madison Square Garden last eve-
ning. do not seem to approve of the
decision giving the bout to Ber-len-
bach.
Most of them felt that Bridgeport
Jack was winner. This is what some ,
of them had to say this morning re-
garding the bout.
Chief of Police William R... Perv
nington: "I-~ think that Delaney
should have been awarded the ne-
cision. In my opinion Jack outfought'
Paul from. the start. Berlenbach
should have been disqualified in the
fourth round when he fell down
withdut being hit. It was a. great
scrap and I certainly enjoyed it."
MM O’Bflwz' “Delaney was
r‘ gunshot the decision. it. as it all
to I”
it. but I think that there Was sonn-
thinsI wrong someplace." '
William Boson; "It was Deleney’s
fight and when they declared Ber-
lenbach the winner at the end of
the bout I was certainly surprised.
I on n't understand. how they
figured Paul the winner. Delaney
can beat hlmanytime they step in-
to the ring together. It was a good
fight and I had a. fine time."
Slate Policeman Edward Muga-
vero of the Weetport: Barracks;
"The decision seemed fair to me.
Berlenbach rushed him from the
start and kept. right on top of him
throughout the bout. There was not
much of a. demonstration from the
crowd over the verdict."
Frankie Fay; "The bout was a
good one. but I can't see where
Berlenhach was the winner. In my
opinion Jack took ten of the 15
.rounds. He outclassed Paul. I can't.
understand why Berienbach was not
disqualified in the fourth round
when he went down to the canvas
without Delaney laying a glove on
him.
Herbert “'estburg of East N
walk; "It was some bout. Delaney
won but he lost. The decision in my
opinion was an unjust one. Bridge-
port Jack captured a majority of
the rounds. and earned the decis-,
ion. but the judges with their new
trick system of scoring bouts
thought that Paul was the winner.
I suppose that every one has a right
to his own opinion. Delaney start-
ed right out in the first round and
edsily captured the first seven
rounds. ! should think that he had
at. least ten rounds. with four for
Berlenbach and one even. Paul's
own followers seemed to think that
he had been defeated. I heard them
say so as they were pouring out of
the Garden after the bout. One, fel-
low who bet 8200 on Paul admitted
he was ashamed to take the mon-
$3.."
Hundreds of local people” heard
the bout broadcasted our the radio
from station WNYC. and were sur-
prised when the decision was given
to Berlenbach at the end of 'the
bout. '~
Delaney had a large lead all of
e Way according to the radio story
and captured'the first seven rounds.

2 BIG CONCERTS
To Play Usual Sunday
Evening Programs
in Norwalk M. E.
Church
The Norwnlk Church
has a new name—Norwalk Sympho-
ny Orchestra. It also has a program
for this. its sixth, season that is dif-
terent from anything of the past
five seasons and from anything ech
presented in this city.
Instead of giving the usual Sun.
day evening musical services at the
Norwalk Methodist church. and
than one big concert at the close of
the‘season ,the orchestra will begin
this season with a big concert. give
several Sunday evening musical
services at the Norwnlk Methootsr
Orchestra
Church. and then close its season .
with another big concert.
The Sunday musicals will be giv-
en by the local players of the or-
chestra. with perhaps two or three
players from nearby towns: and the
program will consist almost entirely
of favorite numbers the orchestra
has given on previous occasions.
For the two big concerts. several
extra musicians have been engaged
including a number of players from
various sfmphony orchestras in
New York among whom will be one
never before heard with the Nor-
walk orchestra—a. bassoon player.
Altogether there will be over forty
players. The first of these two con-
certs will be given on Friday eve-
ning. January 8. in the Norwulk Me-
thodist Church. The first number on
the program will be Iiaydn‘s "Sur-
prise" Symphony—the first sym-
phony ever played by the Norwalk
orchestra. Following this will he an
entrancing waltz by Lincke. "Spring.
Beautiful Spring."

Truck Driver Is
Aware of Loss
A. large bundle of women‘s under-
wear was stolen from the back of a.
truck owned by Joseph Arbour d:
Sons. of New Britain. while it was
on route through Darien about 9:30
o'clock last night.
Darien police are making ascarci
for the three men alleged to have
committed the robbery.
The driver of the truck. Albert
Ziombko. was unaware that any-
thing unusual had taken place until
he was stepped by the driver of a
touring car. which had been follow-
ing the truck for some time along
the Post road and informed that
"something phonoy has been hap-
pening in the back of your truck."
‘ Swung Onto Tnlck.
According to the dri\ or of the
touring cur. Whose name is not
known. he had been driving along
uncom-m-nediy behind the truck for
some distance when he noticed three
men dllrt out from the side of the
road. swing themselves up onto the
back of the truck and start working
among the cases there.
In a few minutes the three jump-
ed off again with a lingo bundle un-
der thclI arms and disappcalcd in
thednrkness on the side of the road
again.
During the time that they were
on the trur-k. according to the Ar-
bom Company. in \ew Britain the
men had slashed open the canvas
covering of a was of silk underwear
and had taken out 3'! silk Chemises.
The touring car driver could give
no description of the men, as he said
that he did not take much notice
Of them until he saw thit they were
leaving the truck with a bundle
which they did not have when they
first hopped on it. it was then that
it occurred to him that something
queer was going on. It was evident
that the lights of the touring car
aided the thieves in their work.
The New Britain Company states
that several other plants have com-
plained of petty thicvory along the
road and it .is believed that a gang
of men. possibly the same ones who
(lid the trick last night. are at work. .
According to reports, they make a
practice of just taking a little from
some of the many trucks which pass
along the Post road during the night.
