 Two games were played on the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon, but the crowd was no larger than usually attends game. The weather probably had good deal to do with the attendance.

 THE FIRST GAME.
 It was exactly 9 o'clock when Umpire Kelly started the game The Lowells played something as they did on Saturday and Day did some very poor work at short. There is an absence of that vim in the playing of the Lowells that used to characterize their work when Nate Kellogg was captain.
 The feature of the games was catch by Mckee in this game. That man is doing some wonderful fielding since joining the New Ravens. Another feature was . one- handed stop by Burdook, but he could not recover in time to get his man out at first base. Cahill caught his first game in three weeks. The Lowells had no trouble in steal ing bases on him, ss he was afraid of letting his arm out; he says, however, that 1t is all right. Both Corcorans did good work, and SO did every man on the team.
 New Haven earned @ run in the first in- ming on Brady's three bagger and AcKee's sacrifice, O'Brien to Hamilton. Day led off with hit, but Burdock took Shinnick's fly, doubling Day up at first. Hamilton fouled out.
 The New Ravens did not score again until the fifth. Up to that Tom Corooran and Shinnick had made two splendid stops Of hard hit hal1r.
