 "A son of Andrew Smith of 69
 Railroad Hill street had his leg broken yesterday afternoon while playing in the dump near the Bene-
 dict & Burnham factory. The dump is near the Mad river and Smith,
 with other boys, was there when
 cart came up and emptied its con- tents over the bank. Some loose
 mortar, which was in the vehicle,
 rolled down the incline and struck Smith with enough force to break one
 of his legs. Dr P. J. Dwyer reduced
 the fracture.
 It is runored that Frank Holly
 wood who has so capably refereed the amateur polo games this season will send in his resignation after tonight.
 It is understood that Hollywood, who receives no compensation for his services. is about tired of taking the abuse of the gentlemanly CD players who are not at all backward in hurl-
 ing various epithets at the referee
 when every decision is not to their
 liking. The position is anything but an enviabIe one. and it is not at all surprising if referee wants to re- tire, when he does not command at
 least the respect of the players them- selves. Hollywood has been a most efficient official and the managers should persuade him to remain as they will not find it easy to obtain an equally competent referee.
 Thomas Bockwitch a member of the South End Polo team is serious ly ill at his home on South Leonard street. He is suffering from blood poisoning, and it is feared that the disease may result fatally as last evening MT Bockwitch was very i'll and was frantic with the pain of the injured leg. Bockwitch's injury is the result. it is thought, of tacking the padding onto his shoes in order that they would be firm during the polo games. A week ago Tuesday night he was not bothered to any extent by the tacks although when he did any ankle work. the tacks. or small nails, pierced his feet. Last Tuesday night he again played with the South Ends and during the game was much annoyed by the lacks pen etrating his feet. After tine contest he complained of his feet being sore and although after they were rubbed, they were much relieved. yesterday he found his feet in very painful condition when ie attempted to walk. He was forced to take to his bed and last evening one of bis legs had swollen 10 twice its natural size. The attending physician re- gards the case as very serious one and is fearful of the outcome.
 --Notwithstanding the fact that the Company G Polo team has been for to.night's game with All Brooklyn, the latter five is con- fident of winning, and their rooters have plenty of money to wager on the chances of their favorites. The boys are looking for odds but 1t is not likely they will receive them as the quintets are too evenly | natched for anything hut even With O'Brien, Tobin and | to carry on the attack. Lew Cronan and Hogan Clark will be kept busy preventing the spheroid from entering the netting. Still the sol- Ilier boys in Spellman have an ex- cellent man, and if Joe Dews plays l his game, the contest of the :ushers | should be a pretty exhibition. The game will in all probability start at | 7:30 as the managers have not as | yet seen fit to re-arrange to-night's | games. It is an early hour to be on hand but those who stay away will | needless to say, miss large amount | of sport.
