...before the live-camera lesson. Wearily, she alibis the rooster-rousing hour: 1) nothing else is programmed at 6:30, so the unsponsored show costs the station no revenue; and 2) many Puerto Ricans have jobs that get them up early or keep them out late. Also in the show's favor: 80% of New York's Puerto Rican families own television sets...

But while the Yankees ran off and out of reach of the rest of the American League by late May. the Braves bumbled along into August without showing championship form. After a fine start, Spahn ran into a temporary slump. Burdette could not manage to win consistently. Conley has yet to win a game. Rush did not finish a game in twelve straight starts. Buhl came up with a shoulder injury...
