SummaryImage represented is one of a related set (DODG 0898, DODG 0896), some of which may also be described in this new record; Three views of fans (unsmiling in 0896 and 0898, similing in 0897) watching Dodgers play Phillies at Ebbets Field. Caption on verso: "Handwriting on the Wall: 'For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been." So wrote John Greenleaf Whittier, and you can prove it by a quick look af faces of Dodger fans, left [0896], after Dick Sisler belted his three-run homer in top of tenth inning yesterday at Ebbets Field. In photo at right [0898], faces of Assistant District Attorney Julius Helfand and his son Robert, also mirror reflection of impending doom of Dodgers' 1950 pennant hopes. By contrast, bright spot in the Dodger attack, Peewee Reese's sixth-inning homer, caused such hijinks as Supreme Court Justice Henry L. Ughetta, left, and County Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz are indulging in middle picture [0897]."
