Waterbury Lad At Am-
herst Takes Measure
Of Matty Silverman
In Final Go.
fl-" ‘ \~ ~\
MA'ITY smvnasra
Matty Silver-man. youthful boxer
of Brooklyn, conqueror of John
Coolidge, son of the President. in a.
three round bout at Amherst. has
learned all to soon that victory is
short-lived. for he was decisively de-
feated in the final go for the college
135 pound championship. yesterday.
by a ' Connecticut boy. William
Hughes. of Waterbury.
In winning the title, Hughes com—
pletely outclassed his rival during all
three rounds, sending Silverman to
the mat for a count of four in the
second round. When the fray was
over. Silverman had the consolation
of his earlier victory over the Presl-
dent's son. but had learned that it
had not awed Hughes in the least.
John Coolidge was not on hand
to see his conqueror's downfall. He
left here this noon and was not ex-
pected to return until tomorrow.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.—-(AP)
Just what President Coolidge thinks
of the performance of his son. John.
as an amateur boxer at Amherst
college. probably will remain a se-
cret. He has confided his view: to
no one. and efforts yesterday to ob-_
tain comment were futile.

The little clubhouse was packed

that since the birth of the club in
January. 1922 the membelslllp had
grown from 36 to 12 0 and that some
$700 or $500 had been spent in re-
palrs to make the club house the
attractive building It is today.
"That the city made no mistake
in leasing to tho riiizcns and real.
dents of Broad River. this old
school llullliing.'ln the manner in
which it did, is quite plain," said
the Mayor in the course of his short
talk.
“I only wish we could do as well
with our other sclmol buildings. 1
can think of no better use for them.
Norwalk needs more and better
sebOOl buildings and we would be
glad to offer the old buildings for
such community centers as the
Broad River people have made of
theirs."
Mr. Robins said illat there is noth-
ing that will build a cilv quicker
than progressive community centers
and he felt that an interlocking of
those community centers in Nor-
walk would do much to further the
growth of the city.
Judge Candec. in his talk. spoke of
the coming charter revision commit-
tee meetings and of the fact that
the fourth ward meeting will be held
in Broad River on March 24.
“We do not know whether we will
be met by bricks or bouquets in this
district." said the Judge to the tune
of much laughter. “Nor do we know
whether the people in this section
want to consolidate with us folks
down town. or whether they want to
stay out hOre by themselves in the
great open spaces where the breezes
blow softly. We hope you are going
to come in with us."
Councilman John Mills took up the
Judge's talk where the latter irft off
and urged all the Broad River resi-
dents to attend the charter revision
committee meeting.
Joseph Doman and Nelson Bene-
dict both stressed the ideas that all
that. was poshible was being done for
Norwalk roads. both in building and
opening new roads and repairing the
old. within the limit of available ap-
propriations.
