 The New Ravens arrived home yesterday morning, coming from Lowell by way of Boston. They were not especially enthusi- astic over the three games played on the trip. All of the boys came except Cahill, who was unable to leave his bed in Lowell, owing to a dastardly trick played on him by Ed Flana. gan, who formerly played first base for wilkesbarre, but who played second base for Lowell on Wednesday for the first time. Flanagan has made threats in the hearing of men who can prove it that he would injure Cahill if he ever got chance. Wednesday the opportunity came. Cahill started to steal second, and Flanagan deliberately put out his right knee, striking Cahill in the face. If it had been an accident Cahill would have struck against Flanagan's left leg, which is nearest first base Cahill was struck with such force that he turned somersault. He lay on the ground several minutes, and all the players gathered around him. Umpire Mahoney asked for @ doctor, but there was not one on the ground. Finally Cshill got up and appeared for time all right. When he went in to catch his head was so so dizzy, that he could not passed ball and failing to get ball tossed by Horner that would not, had he been all right, been wild throw, he had to retire. He had to be put to bed at the hotel. His lip was laid open on the side, being cut by his teeth. The side of his face was also cut, and he was sick at his stomach. The doctor said he would be all right in two or three days.
 knee, and the latter carries the mark on his leg. It is about time that Mir. Flanagan was made to suffer for his dirty work.
 The funniest episode on the trip was caused by Schachern's getting left at Aver Junc- tion, where the team had to change cars from Worcester to Lowell. Schachern got on car that was in the rear of the train bound for Lowell, but it was detached from the regular train. He thought he was all right and was busily talking to someone on the platform, when he looked up and saw the train just going around the curve. He hur- ried to a livery stable and hired rig to take him to Lowell, eighteen miles distant. He arrived on the ground at o'clock, just as the game commenced. It was lucky he got there, as Cahill was injured.
 The game in Lowell was as pretty one as has been played this season. Horner did great work. In one inning the bases were filled and no one out Horner pitched curved balls to the next three batsmen and each hit the ball to the infeld. In this inning three men were thrown out at the plate. Every man played ball in this game. J.. Corcoran made kl-k Ia one of the hardest driven balls that any in fielder ever stopped. T. Corcoran also made great stop. Lally-well, everybody knows what catches he makes. His work in every game on this trip was simply grand.
 Mckee has been rapping the ball hard in every game and running bases well. He and Tom Corcoran are the only ones who have
 been able to hit safely in all three games. Mckee got three hits for total of seven
 bases. Lally was greatly applauded in Worcester when he hit the ball over the fence for home run.
 No professional ball team of late has played as poor game as did the New Ravens at Worcester on Monday. This is what the Telegram said "The New Ravens played a ragged game in the field. Their errors were costly, because after they were made, the retrieve themselves. They played like wooden men. In fact they would suffer in comparison. A wooden man would stop a ball if it struck him. A New Haven fielder could not. They either let the balls go | through them or made big muss trying to stop them. Lally made three brilliant ! catches, which were in great contrast to the playing of his fellows.
 When Burdoek saw that the New Ravens | couldn't stop anything he told Horner to toss the ball over the plate. which he did. Then Sanborn was substituted, to save Horner's | arm, as the game was lost anyway.
 Mckee has been doing good work with the
 bat but his playing in the field has been poor. This may he accounted for in a measure by the fact that he has been playing | right field all the season and putting him in left 80 suddenly has given him ground to cover that is not familiar to him. In Wor-
 cester, too, the scorers were rather hard on him. They were determined on keeping New Haven's hits down and her errors up | Three errors were scored against him when Il
 seemed he should have had but one. He will settle down soon and do some good | work probably.
