EXPOSITION PARK, PITTSBURG, May %4.—If those Pirates have not the luck of the owner of to-day's Brooklyn Handicap winner, then they are going to have recorded on the wrong side of their list of games won and lost, an- other contest. That's what every one of the Giants asserted before the tus- sle began. The three games played have shown pretty clearly to the New York- ers that the champions “Have nothing on them’ as far as playing ability is concerned, but they cannot raise any- thing to offset that greatest requisite good luck. Great Crowd at Game, Pittsburgers know, too, judging by re- | cent performances, that the Giants are a worthy foe. One would think that a Brooklyn Handicap was belrfs run to see the way in which the box offices were stormed. Street cars did a rushing bus- iness, and for that matter so did the drivers of cabs amd other vehicles, Folks from Pittsburg's suburbs were in the multitude and all took the game as a rare treat. The Glants have cre- ated the impression that the champions are by no means invinciffe, Pittsburg folks do respect the Giants’ merits, and that's why they kept the turnstiles do- Ing a merry clicking for an hour or so before the game. It really looked like @ holiday in the stands. Speculation was brisk, so ‘risk, {n fact, that a half dozen bookmakers would find plenty to do were they there chalking up figures. But everybody was betting and the Glants had many sup- porters. They got $100 to every $40 they put up, ard it’s not an exaggeration to state that $10,000 was bet on the result before the game began. Campbell to Be a Giant. There is to be a new outfielder on the New York team, He Is one Tom Campbell, and he will join the team when it arrives in Boston on Tuesday. He is playing with the Wilmington, Del., team. and according to such ex- perts as Roy Evans and George Smith, he is a “corker.” Batting 1s sald to be his specialty, and, goodness! the Giants need such a person pretty badly, Fred Clarke, the Pirates’ manager, does do a lot of thinking regardless of the strong hold his team has on the lead of the pennant race. He has #0 many pitchers of Al calibre that he never knows until two min before the game just who ts going to pitch. This afternoon he had Jack Chesbro warm up to see how good he was, and he also had Sam Leever undo a few Kinks that might be tn his pitching wing. Poole was in line, too, but he never had a chance of being selected to Pitch against such a dangerous team as the Giants. Chesbro was in fine form and sfruck Clarke right, so he let him fill the Job. Christy Mathewson Is a great favor- ite here, and the 8,000 or more {in attend- ance howled for him to pitch, but the great twirler’s arm was not in fit shape for him to do the obliging act.

GEN, BROOKE SUED FOR $250,000 BY COUNTESS, Damages Demanded for Abrogation of Royal Abattoir Grant in Havana. The old fight over the slaughter housesof Havanahas been transferred from the Cuban courts to the United States courts by a suit filed to-day by the Countess of Buena Vista against Major-Gen, John R. Brooke for $250,000 damages. ‘The Countess in a complaint filed by Coudgrt Brothers in the United Btates District Court alleges that Gen. Brooks ed her right to the monopoly of slaughtering beef in the City of Havana while he was Military Governor of Cuba.
