May 30, 1932 - At Cleveland the Tribe takes a pair from the White Sox 12-6 and 12-11. Afterwards Chicago claims the umpire George Moriarty deliberately made wrong calls and the ump fights with four of the Sox players under the stands. Moriarty breaks his fist knocking down pitcher Milt Gaston but he is pummeled by manager Lew Fonseca and catchers Charlie Berry and Frank Grube.
