Detroit Mich.. Oct. 10.-The chances of playing the third game of the worlds championship series between Pittsburg and Detroit here tomorrow arc extremely dubious because of a heavy rain that began shortly after noon and continued without intermis- sion for hours.
 According to the local forecaster. tine rain will continue steadily all night and possibly all day tomorrow. It may continue steadily tomorrow or may come in showers. and there will bs brisk winds to accompany 1t.
 While the infeid 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 VIII 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 chance that the stay In Detroit may be prolonged beyond Wednesday.
 The Pittsburg and Detroit teams ar rived here today on the National Com missions special train. Manager Clark of Pittsbufg decided to bring his cham pions over last night instead of wait ing until this morning as he original; {; intended. The Pittsburg Headquarters were established at the Pontchartrain Hotel. The majority of the Pittsburgh supporters wili not arrive until tomor- row morning but there Is 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 happy smile and there was a general air of confidence among the Detroit players Their decisive defeat of Pittsburg Saturday has caased a mark 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 Mullin and Summers If ii Is a dark day Jennings will likely use Mulitn because of the veterans great speed which will be doubly effective in the poor light. Summers may be given a chance If the conditions are more fa- yorabie as he warmed up in excellent shape before Saturdays game when Jennings chose Donovan.
 Manager Clarke refused to make any prediction as to his selection of twirl- ST for tomorrow. but he tntimated ths, his choice would probably lie between Adams and Maddox. The youngster from the American Association worked sn well in the opening hattie that there Is a good chance he may be sent back Great interest 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 with a victory to its credit. has aroused the interest here to a fever heat. Pre-. dictions are being made freely that the crowd at the first game here will beat all records for worlds series in this city. All the reserved seats were sold soon after the sale opened and thou. sands have been unable to get them.
 The National Commission Is sched- uled to hold a meeting here tomorrow and it Is expected that some action will be taken on the Murphy -Pfeffer case. The commission has twice post poned action on this case but 1t Is likee ly 1t will be settled tomorrow.
