Subway Series (continued)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   I checked on the Dow Jones database.  If Roger Kahn (today's NEW YORK
TIMES opinion--boy, does this newspaper ever check its facts or what)is using
this, he's way off.
   From NEWSDAY, 10-14-1999, pg. A36:

   According to baseball historians, the term "subway series" was used for
the first time in 1941...
   Stan Fischler--hockey broadcaster, Brooklyn native and author of several
books on the subway system--first saw the term in a 1941 World Telegram
cartoon by renowned sports cartoonist Willard Mullin, who also created the
Brooklyn Bum.
