 (specinI tc the .IonrnnI- CourIerJ New Britain. Aug 19.--The New Haven ana New Britain hines to-day broke even In double-header, and luckily for Umpire Rorty his cranium was not broken also. Precisely the same thing which happened here to- day occurred a. previous time when New, Haven and New Britain, with Rorty as umpire, played here before Duplicating their former display of rowdyism, the infuriated mob of wild fans brutally attacked Red Rorty for second time this season. The mix-up came in the second inning of the sec ond game and certainly showed up the crhzed and frengied fans in poor light Rorty's troubles, in fact, began before the double-header when he failed to receive the notice sent him telling of the double game, with the result that he did not put in an ap- pearance in time for the first game.
 Roaring Red held the indicator in the second game and was having easy sailing when the rumpus started in the second inning McCabe, the local center fielder. was lowering around the third sack and tried to steal home on a ball batted to Forgue, the visiting shortstop, but was nabbed at the plate by Forgue's throw and was according ly called out by the umpire on a close decision. Many people sided with Rorty, while many thought otherwise, but, strange to say, little objection to the umpire's decision was raised Me- Cabe, muttering, picked himself up, and, after casting a vicious glance at Red, { perambulated to the bench. After. his side had been retired, and he was Migrating to his position, McCabe passdd by Rorty and let a few remarks drop. Red did not lose his goat at all and began sweeping the plate. In the meantime McCabe was discoursing of fensive remarks into the ump's ear .Rorty. was becoming eyasperated and gracefully waved McCabe off Not so, howeVer, for McCabe was there to stay, and stay he did. Then Rorty broke loose and ordered the local fielder to the bench. with the under standing of fine. McCabe thereupon became enraged, and, melted by the fans squatting about the greensward, he proceeded to make Rorty look like an amateur, as far as wrestling goes. He gently hugged him, and, sending his arm about Rorty's windpipe, dem- onstrated the strangle hold to him Red put up his hands and uselessly endeavored to push McCabe away Instead of the crowd separating them large number of fans rushed upor the diamond and surrounded the em. bracing ones, urging McCabe to punch Red once. .
 Things looked sad for Rorty wher the visiting players took to the war path and began to protect him. Where were, the Planvile cops in the mean while? These mollycoddles, seeint the yelping and excited crowd swami on the field, made feeble attempt tt keep iback the oncomers and left then in sole possession of the umpire.
 They also did this in thes previous game, which resulted in a riot. Mis- sles' began to fly in Rorty's direction and the tumult was becoming great However, the sergeant was there witt the goods as were Hanna, the locals manager, and George Bone and hi players, Their interference broke Ill the assault on Rorty and matter finally subsided. After the game wa over, and the locals had whitewashe the Elm City nine, the individuals il iy, fp themselves, started to escort Rort from the field Red despised thei protection and boldly stalSed off tn diamond.
 McCabe certainly let his anger ge the best of his Judgment and cause hi rash act There is little question as [ wether President Tracy will rub 1t i and suspend McCabe, probably to tn limit
