DODGERS WIN FLAG
 FOR 19A7
By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer

The Brooklyn Dodgers, only team ever to win a pennant at midnight, awoke this morning as official Ma tional League champions of AT, and in. the words of President Branch Hickey they'll be champions flor many years to come"
 Not many of the Brooks were aware of the good news until today. Only those few who had stayed over at Brooklyn Pitcher Hugh Caseys restaurant learned last night that the long grind finally was over and that the Dodgers had backed into the pennant.
 When It Happened
 The time was precisely II 80 pm. (EDT). It came about when the Chicago Cubs, who had dropped the opener of day-night double head er, Az, to fan the Cardinals flick ering hopes for few more hours, defeated the Redbirds 6-3 in the second game thus eliminating them from the race.
 Instead of the usual tumult and shouting that usually accompanies the winning of flag, the players as well as the Flatbush faithful took the triumph in stride.
 Brooks Rest Up
 Manager Burt Shotton said that he would rest most of his regulars for the big series against the New York Yankees which gets under way next Tuesday at the Yankee Stad- ium. He refused even to guess as to who would hurl the opener. It will be the second World Series clash between the Tanks and Dodgers, the Yankees having won the first time in 1941, four games to one. The Crooks. in fact, have yet to win . a world championship in three at tempts since 1900
 Turns Back Cards
 Oddly enough, it was Johnny Schmitz, the southpaw pitcher who had turned back the Cards in the last game of the 1946 season ne~ cessitating an unprecedented playoff with Brooklyn, who snuffed out St Louis final hopes. Schmitz relieved starter Paul Erickson in the third inning after the Cards had scored two runs to move within one run of the Cubs, and stopped the Red birds with six-hit ball in the next six and one-third innings.
 Detroit feli Into a second place tie with the Boston Red Sox in the American League when they were held to split in their double head CT with Cleveland. Young Art Hout- teman garnered his sixth victory against two defeats when he pitched the Tigers to GA victory in the opener. The Indians won the sec ond game 7-6 on Hank Edwards three-run homer in the ninth inning off Virgil Trucks.
 The Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Browns divided double head CT in Chicago, the Sox winning the second game 40 after Sam Zoldak pitched the Browns to a 4-2 win in t%e opener. Joe Haynes hurled the shutout for the White Sox.
 Al, other teams, except the Yank- ees and Washington Senators who were rained out, were not 5ched-

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-GTl-When Andy Kerr, long regarded as the outstanding advocate of Pop War ner's "outmoded' double wing form ation, turns to the popular "T, |" you'd think that would be news |. Andy doesn't think so.

 The 'T'-sure I'm using it. partly because that's what the boys learned last year. But don't forget we used it at Colgate, too.

Many Top Stars Failed
In First Bid For StardOnl

HOLLYWOOD-Many of to-
days top names in the movie
industry were literally "flunked
out" in their first bids for film
fame. Today these popular stars
can afford to look back with
tolerance and amusement upon
their early failures.
There is a sizable fraternity
of current stars who flopped dis
mally in their initial screen
tests. One of the new members
of this distinguished group is
John Lund, handsome romantic
threat currently starring with
Gail Russell and Edward G..
Robinson in Paramount's Might
Has a Thousand Eyes"
When the blonde actor was
struggling for recognition on
Broadway, Columbia took an in
terest in him and made a screen
test in New York. They turned
thumbs down when they saw
the test.
About the same time two
other potential candidates for
free trips to Hollywood were
given tests and got a negative
response. Their names were
Gregory Peck and Van Johnson
couple of lads currently high
on all of the popularity and
boxoffice polls.
Ray Three Time Loser
Ray Milland is one star who
tried not once but four times to
make the grade in films and
although he was washed out
three times he is currently one
of the top boxoffice attractions
in the business. Ray had to
make four trips from England to
Hollywood before he was able
to strike paydirt. Rays latest
cinema offering is Paramount's
Golden Earrings" in which he
co-stars with Marlene Dietrich.
Many of the reigning queens
of the cinema ball likewise
failed to get passing marks in
their initial bids for screen
fame. Bette Davis, Deanna Dur
bin, Judy Garland, Mary Martin
and Lizabeth Scott all had to
have a second chance before
they gained stardom.
Now if there is a moral to
this essay other than the ancient
axiom about try, try again when
you don't succeed at first, it
must surely be that the great
minds of Hollywood make as
many wrong guesses as the next
person.
