Fwd: First "subway"

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Oh, all right.  When the OED comes calling, you gotta answer.  I had to
spend all night to go through my stuff to find this.
   I called to the Transit Museum in Brooklyn.  As you may recall from the
ADS-L archives, the Transit Museum was without an archivist for about a year,
and I wasn't allowed to look through the SUBWAY SUN.
   I got a call back from the Transit Museum.  They have NO information on
"Subway Series," and they've looked through the SUBWAY SUN.  They'd like to
know what I have.
   From THE SPORTING NEWS, 17 September 1936, pg. 3, col. 7:

_"SUBWAY SERIES" MAY_
_SET NEW CASH MARK_
(...)  In any event, New York is getting ready for its fourth World's Series
on a five-cent fare--its first since 1923--and is all set tosend this series
soaring to new financial records.
