1977 Fijian constitutional crisis | Fiji 's parliamentary election of March 1977 precipitated a constitutional crisis , which was the first major challenge to the country 's democratic institutions since independence in 1970 . Politics in the years before and after independence had been dominated by the conflicting interests of the ethnic Fijian and Indo-Fijian communities . At that time , Indo-Fijians slightly outnumbered ethnic Fijians , but by holding a virtual monopoly of the ethnic Fijian vote and by making significant inroads into the Indo-Fijian electorate ( taking almost a quarter of their votes in the election of 1972 ) , Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara 's Alliance Party had maintained its grip on power . A split in the indigenous vote in 1977 , however , resulted in a narrow win for the Indo-Fijian-dominated National Federation Party ( NFP ) . Sidiq Koya , the NFP leader , was expected to become Prime Minister . Instead , the Governor-General , Ratu Sir George Cakobau , called on Mara to form a caretaker government , pending new elections scheduled for September . The events that led to his decision , and his reasons for it , are still mired in controversy , with different parties involved telling different versions of the situation , and conspiracy theories have abounded . What is known is that a leadership struggle immediately following the election seriously fractured the NFP . It failed to name a Cabinet for three days , and a crisis began to develop . A prominent NFP parliamentarian , Jai Ram Reddy , wondered aloud on national radio whether his party was ready to form a government , and whether it would in fact be able to do so . Ratu Mara claimed in his 1996 autobiography , `` The Pacific Way '' , that NFP politicians had approached him and asked him to remain in office , but with an NFP Cabinet ; he claimed to have refused . Some accused Reddy of sabotaging the formation of a government in order to challenge Koya for the leadership of the party , a charge that has never been proven . Other possible traitors within the NFP were also named . Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry claimed in his 2004 book , `` Children of the Indus '' , that parliamentarians Chand Ramrakha and Irene Jai Narayan had betrayed their own leader by telling the Governor-General that not all NFP caucus members would support Koya for Prime Minister . `` There is also some basis to the story that Karam Ramrakha and Irene Jai Narayan had informed Ratu George secretly that Koya did not enjoy the support of all NFP parliamentarians . Regrettably , at the hour of his triumph Koya had been stabbed in the back by his own people , '' he wrote ( page 130 ) . Ramrakha , now a lawyer based in Sydney , Australia , sued for defamation , saying that the claim was false and had damaged his reputation . Others , both in Fiji and abroad , accused the Governor-General , a high chief in the Fijian chiefly hierarchy , of deliberate bias , and took his usurping of a popular election to preserve the government of his fellow-chief ( and distant cousin ) , Ratu Mara , as an indication that the indigenous Fijian elite would not tolerate an Indo-Fijian-led government . Proponents of this theory point to the coups of 1987 and of 2000 , both of which toppled governments dominated or led by Indo-Fijians , as evidence of their belief . Whether this controversial opinion is true or not , few doubt that Cakobau was pleased to be able to reappoint the government dominated by indigenous Fijians . In a public statement , Ratu Cakobau defended his actions thus : `` In the recent general election , the people of Fiji did not give a clear mandate to either of the major political parties . It therefore became the duty of the Governor-General under the Constitution to appoint as Prime Minister the Member of the House of Representatives who appeared to him best able to command the support of the majority of the Members of the House . The Governor-General has not been able to act sooner as it was not until this afternoon that he was informed who had been elected leader of the National Federation Party . The Governor-General , after taking all relevant circumstances into account , has come to the firm conclusion that the person best able to command support of the majority of the Members is the Leader of the Alliance Party , Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara . In compliance with the Constitution and acting in his own deliberate judgment the Governor-General has accordingly appointed Ratu Sir Kamisese as Prime Minister . '' The September election called to resolve the impasse resulted in a landslide win for the Fijian Alliance , which remained in power for another decade .

Going into the bottom of the seventh inning , Chicago was down 5 -- 2 , but they rallied to score three in the seventh and three in the eighth to win 8 -- 5 . Faber pitched the final two innings for the win . In Game 6 the Sox took an early 3 -- 0 lead and on the strength of another complete game victory from Faber ( his third of the Series ) won 4 -- 2 and clinched the World Championship . Eddie Collins was the hitting hero , batting .409 over the six game series while Cicotte and Faber combined to pitch 50 out of a total 52 World Series innings to lead the staff . The decisive game underscored the Giants ' post-season frustrations , featuring a famous rundown in which Giants ' third baseman Heinie Zimmerman futilely chased the speedy Eddie Collins toward home plate with what would be the Series-winning run . Catcher Bill Rariden had run up the third base line to start a rundown , expecting pitcher Rube Benton or first baseman Walter Holke to cover the plate . However , neither of them budged , forcing Zimmerman to chase Collins while pawing helplessly in the air with the ball in an attempt to tag him . Two years before the issue of baseball betting reached its peak , Zimmerman found himself having to publicly deny purposely allowing the run to score , i.e. to deny that he had `` thrown '' the game . In truth , McGraw blamed Benton and Holke for failing to cover the plate . A quote often attributed to Zim , but actually invented by writer Ring Lardner some years later , was that when asked about the incident Zim replied , `` Who the hell was I supposed to throw to , Klem ( umpire Bill Klem , who was working the plate ) ? '' Conventional wisdom has it that Collins was much faster than Zimmerman , but existing photos of the play show that Zimmerman was only a step or two behind Collins , who actually slid across the plate while Zim jumped over him to avoid trampling him . Zimmerman would eventually be banned for life due to various accusations of corruption . The great athlete Jim Thorpe , better known for football in general , made his only World Series `` appearance '' during Game 5 , where he was listed in the lineup card as starting in right field ; but for his turn at bat in the top of the first inning he was replaced by a left-handed hitting Dave Robertson . The White Sox , who were essentially dismantled following the 1920 season by baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis due to the Black Sox Scandal in the 1919 World Series , did not make it to another World Series until , and did not win another World Series until . |
