...there was not a uniformed soldier in his cortege, which was led by members of his Leipzig student corps, bearing his student cap, which now lies with him in his grave. The funeral's pace was set by the dull thudding "Death March" from Gö;tterdämmerung (The Twilight of the Gods*), interrupted by low, whining air planes from which whipped taut black streamers. One automobile was in the procession, that of Widow Stresemann. Led by grizzled President von Hindenburg, who left the sad line at the Foreign Office, other mourners stalked solemnly afoot to the graveyard...

...perilous pursuit; seldom is the Grim Reaper seen, his scythe laid by, warming up with four bats. Yet, at the present time, twilight has fallen upon the Gods, managers have made mutterings to the effect that the state of affairs is baseball's Götterdämmerung. Babe Ruth, home run magnate, "attended by the sympathy of the Nation" and press, lay in Manhattan, stricken with cold, run-down condition, influenza, indigestion and a bump on the head. In Nashville, Tenn., visited with far less solicitude, Tyrus Cobb, "the greatest player m baseball," took to his bed with...
