 Detroit, Oct. 12.-"Clarke's team was lucky to win. yesterday. We are go- ing to beat the Pirates to-day and to- morrow and I am confident we will take the concluding game of the ser ies,'' said Hughey Jennings, leader of the scrappy Detroit Tigers to-day.
 Jennings men have a splendid chance to make good too. for Mullin and Wild Bill Donovan look superior to anything Manager Clarke can offer in the pitching line and the Tiger bat teries are hitting the ball just as hard as the Pirates To-day'S game will be played on a heavy field as it rained hard until late yesterday. The wealth CT man predicts showers for to-day but the game will be played if there is any possible chance. The day dawned clear and cool with the sun shining brightly and a stiff, chilly wind blowing. -l
 The players engaged in the series will participate in the biggest financial split up of any worlds series. The receipts lof 1907 and 1908 have been passed and the totals Of 1906 when the Cubs and Sox battled for the cham pioDship will be no longer a record. The gross receipts in 1906 were $106 $50 and so far this year $102,103 has poured into the treasury. The 1906 totals were for six games and this mark will be brokeS with the receipts of to-day's game which is the fourth.
 The players pool will easily reach the $66,00O mark. The club owners will al so come in for a big rake-off as the players do not share in the receipts of any games after the fourth.
 Secretary Will Locke of the Pitts sburg club announced to-day that he had received word from Pittsburg carrying the assurance that the larg- est crowd of the series will be on hand to greet the Pirates after their two day trip.
 CIarkes Pirates deserve more credit for yesterdays victory than the De- troit fans are willing to give. The Pirates leader showed that he was shrewd and able manager by playing just exactly the kind of ball they were not expected to place on exhibition. The Detroit papers stated that the Tigers would be at a disadvantage be- cause of the heavy field. They argued that bunting would be dangerous be- cause of the heavy going and that Jennings men would not be able to show their usual speed the bases while Clarkes heavier and slower men would not be bothered.
 Clarke's men started bunting as soon as the game commenced.
 Byrne began with a bunt and this started Summers balloon. Dashing work on the bases and the bungling work of the Tigers helped somewhat and in a twinkling the Pittsburg club had the game practically cinched.
 Clarke hardly knows which way to turn for twirlers. Camnitz seems to be out of the running and he will have to depend on Adams and Willis in his next two games.
 Jennings said to-day that he expect ed to send Mul1n in for to-day's game Wild Bill Donovan in at Pittsburg, Wednesday, and MuIlin again Thurs day.
 Clarke is confident his men will win the championship notwithstanding his pitching situation. He thinks that Maddox would have made a better weather had been dry. It rained hard during the last three innings and Mad dox partially lost control of the wet ball. Lefty Liefield is awaiting a chance to show what a real southpaw can do. It was reported late yester- day that Hughey Jennings had pur- chased Billy Murray's stock in the Philadelphia National League Club and would succeed Murray as man that he had disposed of his hold ngs and Jennings stated that he did not care to discuss the matter.
 Poor pitching by Summers Detroit s box artist and the failure of Sam Crawford to do anything with the will low when men were on bases were the causes for the Tigers defeat in the third of the series for the world s championship with the Pittsburgs yes terday in Detroit. The score was S-6 Pittsburg's play was anything but brilliant but the big lead they got in the first two innings stood them in
