 ARE SOAKING WET

 to Be Postponed
TIGERS MORE CONFIDENT I
If Weather Clears Up Mullin and Adams May Again Face Each other-EnthusIasm In Detroit
 Is at Fever Heat.

Detroit. october 10.-The chances Of playing the third game of the world s ehampionship series between Pittsburg and Detroit here tomorrow are eXtremeiy dubious because of heavy rain that began shortly after noon and continued without intermission for hours. Accord ing to the local foreoaster, the rain will continue steadily all night and possibly all day tomorrow. It may continue stead tlv tomorrow. or may come in showers, and there will be brisk winds to accom- pany 1t.
 While the infleld at Bennett park IS pro- tected by an immense tarpaulin, and game may be possible if the rain stops to- morrow morning there is little Likelihood of it being played. This will put the Detroit games over until Tuesday and Wednesday. and will delay the next game at Pittsburg 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 beyond Wednes- day.
 Tho Pfttsburg and Detroit teams ar rived here today on the national commls-
 
 sion's special train. Manager Clarke or Pittsburg decided to bring his champions over last night instead of waiting until this morning as he originally intended Ihe Pittsburg headquarters were established at the Pontchartrain hotel. The majority of the Pfttsburg supporters will not ar rive until tomorrow morning, but there IS A sprinkling of them here now.
 The Detroit team arrived at an early hour. but there were some enthusiasts on hand to give Jennings and his men few cheers as they drove through the streets in automobiles.
 Jennings wore a happy smile, and there was a general air of confidence among the Detroit players. Their decisive de- feat of Pittsburg Saturday has caused a marked rise in their hopes as they are certain Summers and Mullin will win their games.
 If there is a game tomorrow the De- troit choice of pitchers will probably lie between AIullin and Summers If It IS dark day Jennings will lively use Muliln because of the veterans great speed which will be doubly effective in the poor light. Summers may be given chance If the conditions are more favorable, as he warmed up in excellent shape before Sat ,1rday's game when Jennings chose Don ovan.
 Manager Clarke refused to make any ,,rediction as to his selection of twlrlef for tomorrow, but he intimated that ms choice would probably lie between Adams and Maddox The youngster from the American association worked so well in the opening battle that there Is good chance he may be sent back. Great ln- terest would be added to the game if the two pitchers who did such excellent worK in the opening game were sent in.
 The return of the two teams, each wlth a victory to it's c1 edit, has aroused the in- terest here to a fever heat. Predictions are being made freely that the crowd ae 1he first game here will beat all recoros for worlds series in this city. All the reserved seats were sold soon after the sale opened and thousands have been unable to get them.
 The national commission is scheouleu Io hold a meeting here tomorrow, and IL IS exnected some action will be taken on the Nrnrnhv-Pfefrer case. The commission mas twice postponed action on this case put if Is likely 1t will be settled tomorrow
