Ruth Pitches Perfect Game ssySVa S5E4N3.TI0yOI 1tesvc os 1p.s

Boston, June So.-A nO-nit, nO-Fuh, no-man-reached-first- base pitching per- formance by Ernest Shore, Boston twirIer, m assault upon Umpire Owens by "Babe" Ruth. another BOs- ton pitcher, in which the. umpire was struck behind, the ear. and defeat of Walter Johnson by "Dutch" Leonard, were incidents of the world champions double victory over Washington to- day. The scores were to and to 0.
 Shores entry in the list of pitchers who have shown perfect performances was made possible by Ruth's banshment from the first game Ruth had pitched only to Ray Morgan and Umpire Owens had given the latter his base on balls. Ruth argued the decision, the umpire ordered him off the field and the Boston pitcher then struck at Owens. Other players in tervened and Ruth left the field. Shore was called in with Morgan on first base but a moment later the latter was thrown out attempting to steal second. There after the Boston pitcher and his fielders turned back every Washington batsman Ayers, who pitched for Washington. was hit hard.
 In the second game Leonard held Wash ington to four hits. while the world s champions cracked out hits in punches off Johnson, and, with errors, won easily The scores:

ever succeeded in pinning Joe Stecher' s shoulders to the mat Olin attained fame in the wrestling world when as an un- Known boy he defeated the best amateur wrestlers in the world at the Olympic games in Stockholm in 1912. That gave him his start at the professional game, and he has been rising steadily ever since.
 Freberg, too, after a week of assiduous training is again in the pink of condi- tion. He has entirely recovered from the effects of the fierce match with Zbyszko. His leg is as good as new and he has worked all the stiffness out. It was at first feared that Freberg was more seriously injured than he is but examination by physician disclosed that it was merely strained from his having withstood the terrific toehold clamped on by the Pole longer than was wise.
 Mr. Parkes is following his usual GUS tom of having each wrestler post for. felt of $500 to insure his condition and good faith for the match. MT. Parkes has announced that any fan who is not satisfied with the match may get his money back at the box office.
 PARRY WILL REFEREE
 The match Monday night will be ref creed by E. J. Parry, the popular official man who is coming to be almost as much a favorite with the crowd as are the wrestlers. Parry is highly individual in his methods of refereeing, but fair at all times with strict impartiality. His appearance seems to put the crowd in D good humor and his appearance on the mat is always a signal for an outburst Of applause.
 MT. Parkes is certainly offering some of the best bouts ever brought to Bir- mingham," he said yesterday, and 1 esteem it an honor to referee them. Really I enjoy it much as the crowd, I get a better view and closer view of it than does the crowd, and ] can en- joy it just that much more. Birming- ham is to be congratulated that if she is to have wrestling nothing but the best a the games is offered to the fans here. "
 The seat sale for the match started Saturday morning and there was rush for reservations. The seat sale indi- cated that there will be a rattling good crowd present and that Birmingham is becoming educated to having good bout every week.

first fall, while many place the time linn it even beyond that figure.
 With two evenly matched men, wrestlers who are even more nearly equal than is usual, the match will probably prove to be savage one. Freberg does not fear any man but he talks interestingly of the handicap which the superior weight of Zbyszko was in his recent battle with the mighty Pole.
 q waso utweighed IS pounds in the match with Zbyszko,' he said, and this was great handicap, because I could not obtain a proper purchase with my feet to handle him.. That is, had not the leverage necessary to swing him off his feet without putting forth a tremend- ous effort which placed me under han dicap, as l offered no such difficulty to him. Zbyszko is one of the fiercest men in the ring and while I am accustomed to receive and give punishment, I never ment through such match as that be-

Brown Parkes, who is promoting a se- ries of wrestling matches in Birmingham, will present to the fans next Monday night the most difficult thing to ob- tain in the world of sport-an evenly balanced match.
 John Olin and John Freberg go into the battle with the odds even and with neither having an advantage. There is but one pound difference in weight be- tween the two, F'reberg weighing 21S and the Finn but PIT. It is quite probable that this extremely slight difference, which does not have particle of ef- feet in the ring will be equaized before the match comes off.
 The two men are said to be equally as we'll matched in speed, endurance and skill. Each has long string of nota- ble victories behind him and each is In his prime as a wrestler.
 LONG BOUT EXPECTED
 In view of these facts local fans are predicting that the bout Monday night will go longer than any that has yet been offered in this city and experts concur in this opinion. It is confidently predicted that an hour will not see tht
