  • SummaryFans cheering at Ebbets Field; man at lower left with cigar in mouth; circle superimposed over head of unsmiling man seated next to him. Caption: "No Miracle This Year: Dodger fans are a happy lot as hurler Johnny Rutherford mows down the Phillies in order in the ninth inning to rack up a 5-4 triumph and clinch the 1952 National League pennant for the Brooks. Lone exception is saddened Giant rooter (circled), who is on the verge of opening up with the tear ducts. Our hearts bled for him and Giants, too."
