Junior World Series |
|
The Junior World Series (previously the Little World Series) had
been played between the champions of the American Association and
Eastern/International League off and on since 1903. The 1932 International League champions
were the Newark Bears, a powerful farm team of the New York Yankees. The Bears' lineup included Dixie Walker,
Red Rolfe, Marv Owen, Jesse Hill, Charlie Hargreaves, and Jack Saltzgaver,
and Johnny Neun. The pitching staff
was led by Don Brennan. Larry Goetz of
the American Association was to be one of the umpires, but he became ill
after the regular season and was replaced by Charley Johnston. George Johnson was also replaced, by Jeff
Pfeffer. The International League
umpires were Jack Carroll and Bill Summers. |

Johnny Murphy beats
Vangilder. Helped by Hauser's
1st-inning home run, the Millers build an 8-3 lead. Newark scores 2 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th
to tie the game. In the 9th Saltzgaver
walks and goes to third on a single by Hargreaves. With 2 out, Neun slices a liner to
left-center that Rice comes up with, setting off the Play of Six Decisions. |
|
Play of Six Decisions: Rice dived for Neun's liner and slid on the ground. Third-base umpire Johnston signaled out,
and second-base umpire Carroll followed with an out signal. Newark manager Al Mamaux came out and
argued. The umpires, joined by
plate-umpire Summers and first-base umpire Pfeffer, huddled and reversed
their decision, saying Rice had not caught the ball cleanly, which allowed
the go-ahead run to score.
|
|
From On to Nicollet: "Out came Donie
Bush, demanding an explanation. Again,
the arbiters called an impromptu conference, and, again, they came out with a
different decision, ruling once again that Rice had caught the ball, which
brought an encore performance by Mamaux.
The scene continued—the men in blue listening to the remonstrations of
the offended manager, huddling and emerging from their meeting with a
decision opposite of their previous call—until a total of six decisions had
been made and the game had been delayed more than forty minutes. Bush finally ended the rhubarb by lodging a
formal protest of the game.
Unfortunately for Minneapolis, the committee that would rule on the
protest was made up of an equal number of representatives of the American
Association and International League.
Thus the vote ended in a partisan deadlock; as a result, the Millers’
protest was disallowed, and the Bears 12-9 victory was allowed to
stand." After the game resumed,
Rolfe hit a 3-run homer. The Millers
scored 1 in the last of the 9th but lost 12-9. |
