DETROIT, Mich. Oct. 1O-The chances
OF playing the third game Of the worlds
championship series between Pittsburg and
Detroit here tomorrow are extremely
doubtful, because Of a heavy rain that
began shortly after noon and continued
without intermission for hours. According
to the local forecaster. the rain will con-
tinue steadily all night and possibly all
day tomorrow. The rain may be steady
tomorrow or may come in showers and
there Will be brisk winds to accompany It,
While the infield at Bennett park Is
protected by an immense tarpaulin and
game may be possible If the rain stops
tomorrow morning. there is little likelihood
OF its being played. This will put the
Detroit games over until Tuesday and
Wednesday and will delay the next game
at(Ptsburg until Thursday
As the rain Is said to be general over
the country, there is also a chance that
the stay In Detroit may be prolonged be-
yond even Wednesday.
The Pittsburg and Detroit teams arrived
here today on the National commissions $
special train. Manager Clarke Of Pitts
burg decided to bring his champions over
last night instead Of waiting until this
morning as he originally intended The
Plttsburg headquarters were established
at the Pontchartrain hotel. The majority
OF the Pittsburg supporters will not ar
rive until tomorrow morning. but there is
a sprinklng of them here now.
DetrOit's Hopes Run High.
The Detroit team arrived at an early
hour, but there were some enthusiasts on
hand to give Jennings and his men a few
cheers as they drove through the streets
in automobiles. Jennings wore a happy
smile and there was a general air of con.
ndence among the Detroit players. Their
decisive defeat of Plttsburg Saturday has
caused marked rise in their hopes, as
they are certain Summers and Mulin Will
win their games.

troit chelcs- OF pitchers viii probably lie
between MuIlin and Summers. II II is
a dark day Jennings will likely use Null

which will be doubly effective in the
darkness. Summers may be given a chance
IL the conditions are more favorable, ae

Saturdays game when Jennings chose
Donovan.
Manager Clarke refused to make any
prediction as to his selection of a twirler
but ne intimated that his choice would
probably be between Adams and Maddox
The youngster from the American associa-
tion did so well In the opening battle that
there is a good chance he may be sent
back. Great interest will be added to the
game II the two pitchers who did such
excellent work in the opening game were
sent in
The return Of the two teams. each with
victory 10 its credit, has aroused the
interest here to a fever heat. Predictions
