With this aim in mind, Putzi excitedly told Adolf about the hypnotic effect of college cheering sections at U.S. football games and, at the piano, demonstrated the "buoyant beat" of U.S. brass bands.

The "Rah, rah, rah!" refrain of Harvardmen, by Putzi's account, became the thunderous "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" of the Brownshirt demonstrations. Storm Trooper bands blared their goose-step...

And, best of all, the Cardinals are getting a buoyant boost from their pair of bonus babies plucked off an Oklahoma cotton farm: Von and Lindy McDaniel. Von, only 18, has won four, lost one, has a 2.741 ERA; Lindy, 21, has won eight while losing five. Of big brother Lindy, who had only a 7-6 record last year, the Cardinals...
