Here's another fantastic vintage International News press photo I ran into on eBay. It is dated September 23, 1951 and features Phillies outfielder Richie Ashburn, Gil Hodges and the days umpire in the middle. Via the description on the reverse:

Ump Larry Goetz (center) presents $500 US Bonds Singer Awards (Jack Singer, INP writer killed in WWII) to Ashburn and Hodges their Good Sportsmanship.

BTW, the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 6-2, that afternoon. Dodger starting pitcher Preacher Roe pitched a complete game for the victory. Also, Roy Campanella hit his 36th home run of the season, and Andy Pafko hit his 26th.
