But since Episcopalians are prone to be tolerant and easygoing, they presumably were not affected by what Norman Thomas and others told them...
...time the fourth game of the World Series started last week in Manhattan's Polo Grounds, about the last thing anyone expected of the New York Giants was a batting spree. In each of the preceding games the Giants had eked out one run while the New York Yankees had ground out the humiliating totals of eight, eight and five. Attendance, which had started out at the Yankee Stadium with 61,000 was down to 45,000 as the two teams trotted out onto the field for what everyone expected would be the last game of the dullest...
