They say he bluffed umpire Cy Pflrman into calling a i strike a ball with the count 2-3. When Ruth was called out on I strikes tn the first inning he turned 'to Pflrman and sail: "I’m sure glad I don't play in a league where they call strikes on balls like that” . . . Pflrman replied: "I'm Just an ordinary fellow in this game Babe. | I -.all them like I see them. I’m not I a big shot like you. I'm just trying ; to make a living." . . . Then Ruth , again was called out on a perfect third strike . . .

GIANTS, CUBS ; SPLIT 2 GAMES v Parmalee W ins Own Game With Homer; Lee Defeats Hubbell ,New York, July 18—*U.R> -Chicago's Cubs close their visit in i New York this afternoon, and it ; is no secret that Mr. Bill Terrv I and bls world champion Giants , ; wi|l not be sorry. . | This is not due to any failure I In hospitality, but simply because , the Giants are not notably successful against their nearest rivals, the Cubs and Cards. They wax fat oft the less illustrious , clubs only. The present series, which is even at two games each with one to go, is the best to date. The Cubs still hold an advantage of seven victories to six, while the Cards have beat the Giants seven times and lost four. But even more important is the fact that the Giants seem to have stemmed another wave of winning upon which the Cubs were well launch- | ed. They had beaten Pittsburgh three to one and Boston by the same margin. No matter what happens, New York will be at least a full game , ahead at the end of the "crucial" series; it they win today they ' will be three ahead. , Roy Purmelee, fresh out of a hospital, smote a home run in the seventh inning with the bases loaded yesterday, and won the i first game, 5-3. Bill Lee pitched ' the Cups to a 2-1 victory in the nightcap. Len Koenecke's home run in the | seventh won for Brooklyn over I the St. Louis Cauls, 7-6. Cort Davis shut out the Cincini nati Reds. 7-0. Curt also clouted I a home run. The Detroit Tigers continued to i move steadily ahead in the AmerI ican league race, heating Washington. 4-3, while the Yanks were ■ losing in Cleveland. Carl Fischer gave eight walks, all Senators tuns being put aboard by free trips to first. Cleveland drove Johnny Broaca : off tile hill in two innings and continued their assault on Dan MacFayden, another bespectacled l Yankee, winning 13-5. The Yanks ' dropped a game and a half behind ' the Tigers. Wes Ferrell beat the White Sox i behind Boston's tiipely hitting, I Lary and Cissell driving in four ! runs in the fourth, enough to win. ' Score, 6-2. Philadelphia lost to St. Louis, 1 7-4, in spite of the heavy gunning of the Athletics, who rang up three homers in the fourth —Bob. Johnson. Jimmy Foxx and Pinky Higgins, in order. It was John-' son's 28th, Foxx's 27th. 0- - , ......
