 -Yesterday afternoon William Hickey, of South Leonard street, was operated on by Dr Fred H. Albee of New York, who was assisted by Drs A. A. Crane and A. c. Swenson of this city. Hickey has a peculiar ail- ment. Although his right shoulder was apparently all right, occasionally 1t would get out of place. When he lifted his arm in the air he took chances on throwing out his shoulder. Even while sleeping, the shoulder would ''fall out" and on couple of occasions Hickey awOke to find that it was impossible to use his arm. It is the second operation of its kind per formed in the city by Dr Albee, the other having been performed on Ed ward Kahl of Washington avenue.
 Manager Hanna of the New Brit ain polo team tried to arrange return game with the Brooklyn Polo team for the amateur five which the Brooklyn ties defeated Saturday evening. Man. ager Dunphy informed him he would be willing to have his team play pro- vided it could be arranged with the Amateur league of this city. The rules say that the schedule of the league must not be broken, but the regular game could be played about 7:30, and then there would be time for another game before the big contest. The 'ooters who went to New Britain Sat lrday night were not pleased with the seats they received for fifty cents. They declare they were not as good as standing room would have been.
