Another Unfortunate Accident to one of New Havenss PlayeFs-The New Ravens Have she Game Well in Hand When H0rner is Knocked Insensfble e
 and Has to RetIre-No Game as Five Innings Were Not Played. Hard luck seems to be an adjunctive ele- ment of the New Haven base ball team. Since the opening of the season there has been nothing but a series of unfortunate in- cidents. Oh when will the turning point come2
 Yesterday Homer was knocked insensible with ball that O'Connell pitched, and he had to retire in favor of Carsey. Horner is now undoubtedly be laid up for a week or two. New Haven had the game won with him in the box, the score being to 0 in fa- vor of the home team when Horner was in- jured. Providence seemed to send helping hand, for dark ponderous clouds appeared in the western horizon and the New Ravens prolonged the game until the wind blew 8 gale and 1t became so dark the felders could hardly see the ball. Then it began to rain and Umpire Mahoney called the game Only four innings and half were played, and it was no game.
  on account of his treatment the day before, although he had the better element of the spectators with him. He did not want to oficiate yesterday, but was finally prevailed upon to go on the field.
 The Hartfords were first to the bat. ''Home run" Murphy walked to the plate, prepared to make another one. Horner curled his mustache, looked st Willie 6 second, and threw a drop curve over the plate. Murphy cut the atmosphere in two with mighty swing of the bat. Everybody laughed, for he failed to hit the ball. The next ball Horner pitched was as deceptive as the first, and Murphy looked silly when he made another vigorous bang at it and failed to touch the ball. The third time he managed to hit lightly to Fitzgerald and was thrown out to Lally, Mann got a hit and stole second on Warner's poor throw. How the specta- Lynch, who assaulted Horner in Hartford, struck out. Henry hit hot one to Corcoran at third. The latter made great stop and threw the runner ont.
 For New Haven Galligan led off with single, but he was not batted in. In the second Horner was loudly cheered when he struck out Say. MeCabe hit a liner which struck Horner savagely on his right wrist. However, he got the bail to first in time. The game had to stop as Horner's hand and wrist were perfectly numb. Vigor- ous rubbing brought little feeling back. EOrster tOulQ out to W arner.
 The New Ravens denned their batting clothes and went in to touch Mr. O'Connell up in good style. Corcoran flied out. Shee- han hit safely and stole second. He took third on Fitzgerald's hit. The latter stole second and both scored on Warmers single. That was pretty hitting and the crowd appre- ciated it.
 Horner stepped to the plate, and the sec- ond ball pitched struck him on the left side of the head just back of the temple. From the sound and the bound of the ball O'Con- nell had put terrific speed into his pitching. Horner rolled and fell. Dr. Beckwith rushed On the field, and 1t was some time before Horner opened his eyes. Then he did not know where he was. Finally he got up and walked little, all the time hanging onto his head. He had to leave the field.
 Carsey went into pitch. Moolic was first to the bat, and he made home run. Mur- phY, Lynch and Henry made singles, and three runs were made. New Haven failed to make run. This inning was marked by brilliant double play by Sheehan and Fitz- gerald.
 It was now becoming 80 dark that the players could barely see the ball, and after Hartford had made three runs, the game was called. The score:
 HAWKINS. HARTFoRDs
