The baseball World Series feature on page 52 has a fwew things wrong - the Boston Americans (AL) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (NL) were the featured teams in the 1903 World Series. The Americans changed their nickname to the Red Sox in 1908. Also, in 1907 the Cubs defeated the Tigers 4 games to none, a decade before the Braves-Athletics sweep mentioned on page 53. Again on page 55 the winner’s list has the Boston “Braves” as the 1903 victors…it was the Boston Americans (AL). In 1903 the National League Boston team was nicknamed the Nationals, not the Braves. They became the Braves in 1912. And, SPOILER: The Yankees won the World Series in 1941 (4 games to 1 over the Dodgers). What REALLY happened to the 1904 World Series? The 1903 contest was a success and the FIRST STEP in healing the bruised egos of both the older National and newer American Leagues. Pittsburgh and Boston played an eight game series in 1903, showing that a post-season championship could benefit baseball’s growth. But some owners still disagreed with the concept and in 1904 it was cancelled. John T. Brush, National League champion NY Giants’ president, refused to play the American League champion (Boston Americans, again). He refused to compete with what he called a "representative of the inferior American League". Brush later regretted the decision, and subsequently agreed to let the perennial series continue after the 1904 postseason ended without a series.

NotesWriter credit was determined by textual analysis by Lou Mougin to be Patricia Highsmith. Now listed as unknown.

Joan Schenkar, writer of the Highsmith biography, "The Talented Miss Highsmith," worked with Highsmith's notebooks, now in possession of the Swiss Literary Archives, and in them, Highsmith did not start working on comics until after she graduated from Barnard College. She joined the Sangor-Pines shop in December, 1942, meaning that no credits before early 1943 can be attributed to Patricia Highsmith (as reported by Ken Quattro on 22 March 2016 in the Comics History Exchange on Facebook).
