Dodgers Cinch Pennant As Cards Split Twin Bill
The idle Brooklyn Dodgers won the 1947 National league pennant Monday when the St. Louis Cardinals split a double header with the Chicago Cubs 4 to 2, 3 to 6, losing their slim mathematical chance to overtake the Bums.
Brooklyn will meet the New York Yankees on Sept. 30 in Yankee stadium for the first game of the World series. The second game will also be played in that park, then the teams will shift to Ebbets field in Flatbush for probably three more games.
The Cards were beaten by Southpaw Johnny Schmitz, the same pitcher who defeated them in the final game of last season and forced them into the famed playoff series with the Dodgers. Schmitz relieved starting pitcher Paul Erickson when the Cards scored two runs in the third inning, and the leftfander held the retiring world champions to a single run in the rest of the game. It was Schmitz' fourth win over the Cards this year.
Though the Dodgers won the pennant while sitting next to the radio in Hugh Casey's tavern in Flatbush, the accusation of "backing in" was not being leveled at them. During the season the Dodgers had proved their right to the flag by playing the best ball in the league when the chips were down.
They started off the season with a brand-new manager, gray-haired Burt Shotton, who replaced the suspended Leo Durocher, and with the first Negro in the major leagues, Jackie Robinson, at first base. Shotton, taciturn, mild tactician, soon proved a top-flight manager and Robinson quickly convinced everyone that he was not only a big-league player but also one of the best players in the game.
Cliff Aberson led the Cub hitting with a two-run homer. Harry Breechen was the winning pitcher for the Cards in the afternoon game, making three hits in his own support.

Colonels Tie Brews In Playoff Series
Louisville and Milwaukee are knotted up at two games apiece today in the American Association playoff after the Colonels evened the series Monday by subduing the Brewers 4 to 1.
Jack Griffore pitched four-hit ball and drove in two runs with a double, to sew up his own ball game. Three Colonel runs tallied in the second inning when Chuck Koney walked, Ed Lavigne singled and Jimmy Gleason walked, filling the bases. After one run scored on an infield out, Griffore pickled a fast ball for two bases and more than enough runs to win the game.
Vern Bickford and Jim Davis pitched for the Brewers.
In the fifth game tonight, Atperly will match his pitching slants with Jim Wilson on the mound for the Colonels.
Charleston, W. Va.—(UP)—Veterinarians used an eyedropper today to feed a three-day-old kitten born with two faces, but they doubt the battle to save the freak will be successful.

Animal specialists said it is unusual that the kitten has lived this long. The cat receives little nourishment from its milk because feedings go in one mouth and out the other. The two faces, set at 45-degree angles, each appear normal.

A Charleson veterinarian, termed the case a "teratological anamoly at birth." He explained that the cells from which the kitten was formed started to divide and produce twins, but that for some reason the process halted.
