The Synagogue was dedicated in September, 1913. The first Rabbi was Nathan Flecher. The present Rabbi is Max Klatskin.
The Jewish Community, since the building of the Synagogue, also acquired the old Tarbell home which they have converted into a Community House, where social gatherings are held and which is also used as a school for the instruction of Hebrew children in the Hebrew language and faith.
The colony has prospered numerically and financially.

SPORTS IN MILFORD
Of the athletes from Milford, who have become widely known, none stands out more prominently than Simon P. Hickey, the coach of St. Mary's baseball team. He not only had a brilliant record as a baseball player, but also as a sprint runner, having met and defeated many fast men.
The late Eben Williams was prominent, not only in athletics at Dartmouth college, but also in semi-professional baseball.
John Crahan, a Milford native, now deceased, excelled as a sprinter, wrestler and boxer.
Peter Gallagher, now a trainer and driver of race horses, who is in his fifty-seventh year, was a noted middle distance profes- sional runner and athlete.
In school baseball the names of Wendell Phillips, Frank Fahey, Francis Cahill and Alfred Alzerini are remembered with pride. Phillips made the Notre Dame baseball team; Fahey was formerly with the Philadelphia Athletics and the only Milford young man who made a major league team; Cahill played sensationally for the championship Holy Cross College baseball team while Alzerini also played on Holy Cross teams.
George Larkin and his brother, Patrick Larkin, Patrick Rabbitt, Frank Shea, Sim Rizzi, Batista Vitalini and Augusto Tonoli were among the many Milford men who distinguished them- selves in baseball. George Larkin was considered in his day, one of the best pitchers Milford had produced. Rizzi is still pitching.
James B. Heggerty, now deceased, was a star baseball pitcher and later was a coach at Dartmouth college.
Sergt. John W. Powers, war hero, participated in many sprint races and later became a coach and trainer of athletes.
The five sons of School Committeeman George F. Grayson, not only distinguished themselves in athletics at High school but also in athletics in the higher institutions of learning they later at- tended.

Sports in Milford.
In football Alzerini and George Pyne stand out prominently. Alzerini was mentioned last year by many sport writers as an All-American end, while Pyne is a star at Holy Cross.
Thomas P. Teeling is the former New England bantam- weight and light-weight collar and elbow wrestling champion.
In modified marathon running, Warren Kneeland and Earl Vasile won many prizes and in professional sprint running Gardner Hubbard was considered very fast.
Patrolmen Alfred Calzone, Ray Cross and Eugenio Alzerini, who fought under the name of "Gene Mars," are among the widely known boxers.
Alzerini fought his first battle when but 15 years old, has en- . gaged in 78 battles with many noted boxers and had made, up to his retirement, a very creditable showing.
Calzone was a decided sensation as a light-weight and was the idol of fistic fans. He engaged in upwards of 70 contests.
Cross, both as an amateur and professional, made an excellent record in the roped circle.
Excelsior Hook and Ladder Co. is the holder of the world's championship at hook and ladder racing.
Basketball has also been one of the prominent sports here and many fast players were developed who made fine records in this part of the state.
In tennis, Frank C. Morgan and Ernest E. Perry were con- sidered among the top-notchers in their day.
In golf, Frank P. Lee was considered one of the best in this section and participated in many tournaments.
