RAIN MAY DELAY GAME TODAY

Philadelphia, October 1S.-Notwith- standing that Forecaster Bliss tonight stated that rain would probably not interfere with the fourth game of the worlds series, scheduled to take place tomorrow at Shibe park, between the New York Nationals and the Philadel- phia Americans, drizzle set in shortly before 10 o'clock tonight and the wind which had shifted from east to west carly in the afternoon yeered to the north.
 Almost an inch of rain fell during the day, but if the sun comes out warm in the morning the grounds can be put in good condition, as the diamond dries out quickly.
 Tonight's forecast holds out encour- agement for a game. Forecaster Bliss says, while the day may not be an ideal one for the national sport, he does not believe there will be any rain fall.
 Both teams spent the day at the theatres and tonight several of the players attended the bout between Leo Houck and Frank Klauss at the Amer ican Athletic club.
