THE NATIONAL GAME.

Rain stops the New HaveR-HarGford Game at she End Of the Fifth Inning With Hartford Ahead-New Haven's Usual Luek-DIsgfaceful Kicking by Captain Forster-DirtY Hall Playing -Lallyss Wonderful Catch. The New Haven team experienced it's usual hard luck yesterday. Rain stopped was ahead. No one present thought but that
 if nine innings had been been played New Haven would have won. As it was the score reverted back to the end of the fifth inning, | with Hartford ahead, to o. | The game was marked by disgracefu1 ex- ehibition of kicking by Captain Forster and 1 Manager Henry. New Haven people are not accustomed to the tactics of loafers and rowdies. Their representative ball players act like gentlemen, both at home and abroad. But that cannot be said of the Hartford play ! CTS. They are noted everywhere for rowdy- | ism. Hartford people may like 1t, but New Haven people don't. Forster threatened to whip Doran on the field, and in the last game played with the New Ravens he instructed Murphy to knock John Corcoran over so as ! 90 gain third. Be 1t said to Murphy's credit that he did not obey his chief. Forster got his match in Newark two years ago, when
 
 verely whipped him on the field. Dcran pitched a winning game, but the New Ravens coubd not hit safely.
 Burdock's broken finger interfered with his fielding little.
 The features of the game were catches by Lally and OrRourke.
 New Haven made three hits, but each after two men were out. Brady flied out to Mann and Cahill was thrown out at first. Burdock created considerable applause by hitting safe- ly, but he was left on first by Laly's weak For Hartford, Tommy Lynch got to first on balls, but was forced out at second on Mann's hit to Tommy Corcoran. Henry Lynch struck out and there was wild enthusiasm when Henry failed to hit ts4tiner Abafi. Doran was obliged teIde9 his cap. the second 0'Rourke, Galligan and T. I Corcoran went out. For Hartford, Say hit safely over second base. Forster flied out to Brady
 Then occurred the funniest incident of the game.
 With Say on first base, MoCabe hit fly, which Burdock went after. He did not put up his hands, but when the ball came down he let it strike him in the breast. The run- ner was of course out.
 O'Rourke had a passed ball and Say tried to make third from first base, but O'Rourke by 8 pretty throw caught him. In the third after two men were out Brady
  Mobile struck out and 0'Connell hit hard one to Doran, which he took in hand and threw the runner out. Tommy Lynch hit safely, but he was left on his base b Schoe- neck's making wonderful one-hand stop of a hotly driven ball.
 Burdoek and Lally flied out in the fourth, and O'Rourke made hit. Galligan fouled out. Gahill had pretty assist in this inn ing. O'Rourke made high jump for foul liner, which brought forth great applause. New Haven hit the ball hard in the fifth, but invariably went into a 6elder's hands. McCabe made 8 single in Hartford's half. O'Connen followed with hit to the right field, which Brady threw to Schoeneck. Mo- Cabe was on his way to third, and Schoeneck threw wild and the runner scozed. Tommy Lynch followed with another scratch hit, the ball striking the bat near his hands.
 It was in this inning that the principal feature occurred. Mobile hit long fly to left center field. and it was evidently good for all of three bases. Lally made long run for it, and finally jumped at least two feet in the air aud pulled it down.
 In the sixth Brady fouled out, when Cahill got his base on balls. He stole second. Csp- tain Foster saw it looked like rain, and at once began to delay the game. And he suc- ceeded. Had a regular umpire been on the field he would not have accomplished his purpose.
 Finally it began to pour and the players came in. When play was resumed Burdock flied out and Lally struck out.
 With the rain coming down in torrents Say made @ two bsgger and Foster single. Then, after waiting half an hour, the game was called, and the score reverted back to the fifth inning.
 The crowd numbered 2,5Oo people The score:
