Minneapolis, Oct. 6.-(F-A first
class problem was referred to the
stove league Thursday as Newark
went into the sixth game Of the little
worlds series needing only one VIC
tory to win the annual duel between
the International League and the
American Association.
Don Brennan, its 220-pound right
handed ace who has delivered two Of
his clubs three victories, was assigned
to pitch against Dutch Henry, Min
neapolis southpaw, who accounted for
one of his teams two wins.
Through the stove league echoes OF
Wednesdays IL to 9 victory for
Newark are bound to roll, for 1t mark
ed the longest dispute In the history
of the SERIES instituted in 1917.
There was a 40-minute argument
on the field on a question which de-
cided the game and this dispute was
carried over into hot debate lasting
more than two hours before the ad-
yisory commission which split 1t or
the moot point.
In the first half of the ninth will,
the score 8 to and two Bear batters
out. Harry Rice, Miller center fielder
dashed towards short in an effort to
catch a low fly from the bat Of John
ny Neun. Newark first baseman.
Made Flying Tackle
Rice made what amounted to q fly
ing tackle, rolled over several times
and came up with the ball In hi
hands. Before he arose Jack Saltz-
gaver. Baer second sacker, ran home
from third.
Umpire Johnston at third ruled
Rice caught the ball, that Neun was
out and refused to allow Saltzgavel
to be listed as having scored. The
Millers retired from the field and the
Bears clustered around the umpires.

Then followed a succession Of rever-
sails. Bears and Millers flocked onto
! the field alternately to protest when
ever the decision then current was
against them.
Stage Minor Fights
| DOME Bush, Minneapolis manager
and Rice. who made the most heated
arguments, were ordered off the field
Only $685. persons paid to see the
game in the cold weather but they
Joined in the argument from the

kept police busy.
The last decision favored Newark
and with notice Of protest. the MIL
lers resumed play with Red Role
blasting the first pitch by Elan Val,
Glider over the right field fence for
a home run scoring two ahead Of him
The Millers scored only once IN then
half.
The argument was resumed before
the advisory commission, only two OF
whose members were present, Thomas
J. Hickey, president Of the Associa-
ton, and William Manley, secretary
and treasurer Of the International.
Each supported the position taken
by the club In his own circuit. Judge
william Bramham Of Durham, N. @.

with no means to break the deadlocl
+, the rule Of status quo was invoked
and the protest automatically disal'
lowed for lack Of q deciding vote.
