4th Oldest Umpire In National League Retired This Season After Officiating 26 Years at 1,710 Games in Row New" Orleans, May Charles Herman Cy) Pfirman, fourth oldest umpire in the National League in point of service, died here yesterday In Baptist Hospital after an illness of two months. He was 46. He had lived here for several years and during the off season was a meat cutter in a delicatessen store, a business he had to forego two years ago because of poor health. Upon his official retirement this yfcar, Ford Frick, president of the league, appointed Dolly Starke to take the veteran's post. Pfirman was a native of Cincinnati.

At 1,711 Consecutive Games His career as umpire covered 26 years and he set the National League record for umpiring 1,710 consecutive games before illness overtook him. Only Bill Klem, Charley Qulgley and Charles Moran had greater seniority in the National League. Pfirman was "put on the spot" during the' two occasions he officiated in World Series games. In 1928 at a Yankee-Cardinal game, Wee Willie Sherdel, slow ball pitcher, whiffed Babe Ruth on the third strike with a "quick" delivery. Pfirman refused to allow the strike.

Officiated at World Series In 1933, during a Giants-Washington game for the world championship, Mel Ott smacked a ball Into the Washington stands in the 10th inning with the score tied 33. The umpire stopped Ott at second and then waved him home for the deciding run in the final game. Pfirman started as a bat boy for the Terre Haute team. Katherine A.
